It has been said by British government that the nation has gained from immigration from India. At the same time, now the nation wants this rate to be controlled in order to increase the gains as well as reduce the total number of migrants walking into the nation. This is when compared to the level of immigration in 1990s.

Damian Green, the Immigration Minister for Britain on his visit to India said that the nation is also assessing the provisions for the student visas. This is being done to bring about aid to those who are the best and the brightest and could pursue their higher education. At the same time, it could also prevent those who pretend to have an intention to study in order to get a job. He also said that he is in the nation to explain the amends brought about in the UK immigration policies as well as the reasons behind them. At this point of time, the government of UK is working on limited economic immigration.

The Immigration Minister also mentioned that it has been decided to bring about a zero limit when it comes to unskilled migration. At the same time, the government wants to attract the best and the brightest of the entrepreneurs and investors who could aid in the economic growth of Britain. This does not mean there is a contradiction in reduction of immigration levels and at the same time, wanting to bring about more investment and skilled migrants to the nation. Both are possible together.

Answering questions he also said that about hundred illegal migrants on an average are being deported from UK each month. With this, about two hundred more Indians have been detained in various prisons in the nation. The Minister also met with the Chief Minister of Punjab, Parkash Singh Badal as well as the DGP to seek cooperation with regard to illegal migration to Britain from Punjab.

Immigration has been quite a debate in the United States with the immigration bill introduced in Arizona. But now, another debate has emerged in the form of immigrant babies. No wonder it is the time for elections and so, targets are formed from all sides.

Some of the lawmakers from the Republican side are suggesting changing a part of the 14th Amendment which permits natural citizenship to all those born in the United States. According to Sen. Lindsey Graham, many immigrant women cross the borders illegally just to deliver a child who would then be an American citizen. This has been termed as “Drop and Leave”.

In 2008, an estimated number of 340,000 babies were born in the United States. These babies were born to illegal migrants. This is as per the study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center. It has been claimed that the more than eighty percent of the children born were born to mothers who have been residing in the nation for a minimum of a year.

Keeping the above aside, it can also be said that the Republican lawmakers are trying to bring out terms and conditions to procreate in the nation. But then, how would such a plan is implemented? This would simply mean deploying immigration agents at every corner of the nation or may be turning the nurses and the doctors into immigration officials. In other words, a category called undocumented babies would come into picture.

On the other hand, there was no such concept as illegal immigration in 188 when the 14th Amendment was sanctioned. This was because all the immigrants were permitted to reside in the nation. More so, no immigration laws or policies were created then. Walking into the nation was free and people used to come in boats or even cross the borders from Mexico or Canada.

So, simply removing the concept of birthright for these children is not the answer. Above all, it is not a child’s fault to have illegal migrants as parents.

Have you ever thought about as to what is the difference between those people who have internet at home and those who do not have? Well, let me tell you one very interesting fact…

Those who have internet connection at home are more likely to be in a romantic relationship or have a spouse as compared to the latter ones. This has been proved by a research which has confirmed the same when it comes to adults…

So, in a way, having internet connection at home can boost your love life! And you were cribbing as to why you don’t have a love life! Simply have an internet connection and boost your love life in a major way.

According to Michael J. Rosenfeld who is the man behind this study, it is a fact that excessive use of internet connection can have enigmatical affect on your social life and the time spent online. But at the same time, this is also the fact that being online has helped Americans find their mates too!

Think yourself, isn’t it too common in India also that being online means a majority of teenagers and adults end up hooking with their mates. They tend to know about the habits of their mates and hence start to get attracted towards them! Some even go a step ahead and meet their online partners and end up being into a romantic relationship.

Coming back to the study, it further reveals that almost 82 percent of people who were having Internet in their homes have been into a romantic relationship or have a spouse. And if the same ratio is compared with those who don’t have internet connection, the number falls down to 62.8%.

The study has further revealed that groups like lesbians and gays, who normally find it difficult to find their romantic partners, get ample help from Internet!

Also, it has also been found that Internet has emerged as one of the critical social arenas which is attaining ample amount of importance over the period of time for prospective lovers to meet.

Rosenfeld further said that it has been for the first time since 1940s that Americans are gradually meeting their romantic partners, hence displacing their buddies!

So singles, what are you waiting for? Get online and find your true mate!

It is not something which is hidden that Sir Don Bradman is the greatest batsman that this world has produced. When it comes to Indian batsmen, he regarded Sachin Tendulkar as someone who could match up with his batting style, and someone in whom he sees himself.

But hold on, there are some surprises too! It was not long back, when I wrote an article on “Rahul Dravid – The Selfless Man Who Goes Unnoticed“.  And now I am providing an apt example of as why I termed the title of my article like that. According to a recent study, Rahul Dravid surpassed Sachin Tendulkar, in terms of value of runs scored to his team. Virender Sehwag was on top, when it comes to Indian batsmen, followed by Rahul and then Sachin! We all babble the name of Sachin Tendular, but this statistics proved the selfless achievements of Rahul Dravid, who truly went unnoticed over these years!

What to say about Sehwag too? He is a gem of a cricketer and people who regard him as the clone to Sachin Tendulkar, should know that he has his own identity too! The statistics are based upon factors like consistency maintained in the pattern of scoring, home-away record and value of the overall runs scored by the batsman and his contribution. Sir Don Bradman topped the list and there is no surprise in it! Other statistics show that just five Indian batsmen managed to mark their presence in the top 50 batsmen!

Sachin Tendulkar, who is applauded as the highest run scorer, topped these Indian batsmen in NONE of the facets!!! Not even one single aspect…

Okay, let us talk about the aspects now… when it comes to adding value of runs and providing ample scores in the scorecard, Sehwag topped, Rahul is next and then comes Sachin! Let us talk about another instance. Rahul Dravid is called Mr. Consistent and this has been proved as he topped Sachin, followed by great Gavaskar, and then comes Sehwag and then Vinod Kambli!

When it comes to contributing in the overall performance of the team, Rahul and Gavaskar shared their slots (top amongst Indian batsmen), and followed by Sachin, Sahwag (both sharing slots) and then comes Kambli.

The study is a part of “The paper – The ‘Bradman Class’: An Exploration of Some Issues in the Evaluation of Batsmen for Test Matches, 1877-2006 – ranks 50 batsmen from all eras.”

According to Immigration New Zealand, it has been confirmed that the backlog of thousands of student visa applications have been cleared after the same was ordered by the Minister.

As far as the stats are concerned, the commencement of July saw a backlog of 5500 applications as it has been claimed by the department that the same has been accumulated, courtesy the some really bad planning as well as after two peak application periods.

Also, some applicants have to wait a long as for three months to have their applications processed and hence the orders were given by the Immigration minister to clear all the pending applications by the end of July.

It is the mid of August now, but Nigel Bickle, who is the chief executive at Immigration New Zealand, it has been confirmed that till now only 200 visa application are awaiting their approval.

He has also confirmed and told the Minister that Immigration New Zealand will soon come out with a much improved plan by the ending of the month September. The plan would be regarding the strategies to make the system more and more efficient.

Love is vital in everyone’s life! But excess of everything is bad! Are you girls aware of the fact that love leads to obesity?

According to one recent study, girls in love tend to gain weight at every moment! I know this is news which can be shocking for many girls out there but that is what is true! The study has been conducted by the University of Queensland and it has been proved that more the content of love is; more would be the rate of obesity in women.

The love which they get from their kids and husband is ample for them to gain weight! It has often been observed that women tend to gain weight after marriage. Why so? The answer perhaps lies in our daily work schedules.

Being single means, some times skipping meals, not taking proper diet and other such facets which lead to loss of weight. But when you are married or with kids, you ensure that everyone is given the apt amount of love and care and therefore, you never skip meals with them. In addition, tastier food sometimes means eating more when you are in love (or on in other words, married or hooked!)

It has been observed that woman getting married in late 20s and 30s tend to gain more weight as compared to single women. Further, if these women have kids, then the weight rises by an average of 9.2 kilograms. No matter they have kids or not, women gain weight after experiencing love in their life.

I hope a majority of girls would agree with me. Single women are much skinnier and toned as compared to the ones who are married. Also, the latter lot has already got insurance that they have the love of their life with them. Hence, they don’t need to take care of how they look and hence, some of them lose interest in maintaining themselves. They eat at any time and interval, hence, gain weight! On the other hand, single women need to take care of their figure and maintain an overall balance between fat and body shape!

So, all you girls in love out there. Either prepare yourself to get obese or start maintaining your body mass ratio.

This would be done in order to strengthen the operations. The security and the detention aspects would be catered to by the Prisons Department. The Immigration department would deal with migration issues and documentation and the RELA would handle the security outside.

The above was decided upon after an incident where twenty Afghans were caught as victims of human trafficking. They fled the detention centre at the International Airport by cutting through the Security grills in order to open the gates. Post this, twenty immigration officers who were in-charge then have been suspended.
