Immigration law Arizona v. United States

By

2010 was the beginning of one of the controversial law named unconstitutional by different groups and also claimed by the current US President. The SB 1070, followed by the HB 56 from Alabama 2011, is meant to control the illegal immigration in Arizona. Both acts were supposed to clean streets from criminals. The procedure to do such control is summarized as if someone is asked by their documents and s/he is not carrying them, then that person can be detained.
It sounds like depending on how you look, they can prosecute you and detain you, without chance to come home to take your documents.

This act has been under debate, and protests against it took place around the US. Finally, the last step to be applied, before the law goes into effect, happens next april 25 2012 in Washington. Allegations on this act are going to be presented at the US Supreme Court, which shall decide the consitutionality of the law and therefore whether it can go into effect or is the Governament having such constitutional 

The immigration issue is very sensitive in the current world and US financial crisis. There is no loger chance to reach the "American dream". It seems that now the dream is not being prosecuted, arrested and condemned with the only administrative charge of coming to the US to reach such dream.

Here there is a good summary on the steps followed by the SB 1070.

By
One day you wake up and think "I'm gonna buy a house" And keep reasoning "it is time to use all the time and effort and savings in something more durable, a real investment". That one day for me meant almost two years of digging, reading, researching, saving and most importantly building my credit. Here's a summary of what I learned when I made a first try... Workshop - you'll need this in the future, make sure is HUD approved. It is a workshop that explains what you're about to start. I recommend this. It took me a few months, because I dedicated 8 minutes some days....I think it's intended to take you 8 hours. eHome America was the provider I chose, and I got a voucher for the free workshop from a non-profit that provides resources for new buyers. Counseling - After you complete the workshop, bring your certificate of completion and meet with a counselor. I chose to go to the same agency that gave me the voucher, because they already knew...

Technology and where are we going?

By
During this RSA presentation (starts on 11:00), lecturers make an analysis on where technology is transforming our society.  Some remarkable affirmations: "We decided to put all our information into a big grey box, and hope nobody is looking in." "Every single human being here has access to the internet" "Technology improves individual capacity more than social" "Teach people not answers, but how to ask questions" "We can't leave people off the hook" "Data, information and knowledge are different levels. We should slow down to learn/teach how to make questions" Despite all this progress we still have a lot of things to do, such as, improving security.  And also to reshape our mentality and our culture of sharing. We also should include and consider each and every individual to get the benefits of technology. As they mention during the QA, there has to be areas where designers and users can com...
