I found this proposed rule interesting because I am very concerned about the violation of our civil liberties and rights especially since the September 11, 2001 attacks. Since the implementation of the Patriot Act, governmental agencies are allowed to infringe on U.S. citizens privacy with suspicion of terrorist activity. The Patriot Act signed on October 26, 2001 has also opened the door for the Department of Homeland Security to exempt their administration from rules of the Privacy Act, further allowing the collection of data on U.S. citizens.

...Student Visa Overview The United States welcomes foreign citizens who come to the United States to study. Before applying for a visa, all student visa applicants must be accepted by a school or program. Once accepted, educational institutions will provide each applicant the necessary approval documentation to be submitted when applying for a student visa. Visa Descriptions and Qualifications F-1 Visa This is the most common type of student visa. If you wish to engage in academic studies in the United States at an approved school, such as an accredited U.S. college or university, private secondary school, or approved English language program then you need an F-1 visa. You will also need an F-1 visa if your course of study is more than 18 hours a week. M-1 Visa If you plan engage in non-academic or vocational study or training at a U.S. institution then you need an M-1 visa. More information about each of these visas and opportunities for studying in the United States can be found at the Education USA website. U.S. Public Schools U.S. law does not permit foreign students to attend public elementary school (kindergarten to 8th grade) or a publicly funded adult education program. Hence, F-1 visas cannot be issued for study at such schools. An F-1 visa can be issued for attendance at a public secondary school (grades 9 to 12), but the student is limited to a maximum of 12 months at the school. The school must also indicate on the Form I-20 that the student has paid the...

...What is the cause of skin cancer? Stresses such as tobacco and radiation can cause cancer by damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) cells. DNA is the source of life which is stored inside the nucleus of every cell that makes up a living organism. To be able to fit inside a 10-micrometer average size cell, 10-meter long DNA has to be packed into a complex structure which is known as chromatin. Nucleosome is DNA wrapping around histone octamers and chromatin is form when nucleosomes in a nucleus compact together (Yu et al. 2011). At the chromatin level, it compacts to protect DNA from stresses after a short period of time (Interview with Dr. Michael Bergel 2015; unreferenced, see “Acknowledgements”). DNA fails to repair or kill itself (apoptosis) after being damaged which will causes DNA mutation. DNA mutation in a certain gene can make cells grow “out of control”. In human cells, the process of repairing DNA damage which occurs within chromatin is called Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER). Increasing age will decrease DNA ability to repair itself; this explains why a majority of cancer patients appear to be older adults. Ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) is the main cause of skin cancer. Chromatin in skin cells after UV irradiation are found to...

...responsibilities of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) include: inspecting people coming in at one of the many ports of entry, finding and combatting illegal entry into the U.S., conducting criminal and administrative investigations and receiving, reviewing, approving or denying applications for various reasons (green card, tourist visa, fiancé visas, etc.). As you can see, from the Services beginning, the challenges the INS have faced have been an uphill battle. Upon arrival at one of the many Ports of Entry into the United States; anyone not native born or already currently legally or permeate accepted into the U.S. will undergo a brief interview upon arrival. This scrutiny will determine your fate as to whether the officer on the other side of the counter allows you to enter, (we all know the famous questions) on business or pleasure. As many would argue, the United States isn’t about finding any little reason to turn travelers or future citizens away; the United States more so wants to allow the law abiding person to have the American experience with travel or the possibility of finding their own American dream and keep the “not so honest” immigrants out.
