...earned an undergraduate degree in business and master's degrees in political science and economics. Kenya refused to take him because they said he was a British subject, he recalls, and Britain told him he would have to wait a year. He wrote to U.S. immigration officials about citizenship, but was again rebuffed. After he presented himself to the Los Angeles Immigration and Naturalization Service office, agents there began deportation proceedings on the grounds that his student visa had expired...
...that would otherwise go to Americans. Another study by the Environmental Fund, a Washington research group, puts the cost at $ 14 billion. It is also estimated that Mexicans ship $3 billion a year to their families back home. With easily forged documents, some illegals get all the perks of citizenship, including welfare, unemployment benefits, food stamps and Medicaid. Many illegals are paid in cash by their employers. Others, however, pay payroll and Social Security taxes but do not risk trying to collect any services in return. "That's part of the deal," says Brandeis University American Studies Professor Lawrence...
...before, the military clearly miscalculated foreign reaction. Most of Argentina's 28 million people are of European ancestry, many of them from Italy, and among the missing are some 400 people of Italian citizenship or descent, 35 Spaniards and 15 French, including two nuns.

The aim is to ensure that South Africa's 5 million whites artificially become the majority in the country. The plan will also put an end to arguments for giving the country's 21 million blacks representation in Parliament, a right that they have always been denied under South Africa...
...duty. And almost all cadets join at least in part out of financial necessity. The program provides scholarship money and monthly stipends. The University should not require patriotic and needy students to suffer the inconvenience of taking the courses at MIT--or to endure the sense of second-class citizenship that this semi-exile promotes. By accepting ROTC because it offers financial aid, Harvard would in no way endorse the Reagan Administration's cutbacks in civilian sources of aid. The University's disapproval of these reductions is entirely consistent with support for expanding students' range of aid options through programs...
