...Since Europeans had not been moving in large numbers to America for many years, they were all but locked out. The non-Europeans, mostly Asians and Latin Americans, used the family preference to create a relative-to-relative chain that accounts for more than 90% of the annual inflow of 600,000 immigrants. In 1987, for example, 601,516 people were granted permanent U.S. residence; only 3,060 of them were Irish...
...that's what they should get." Bush likes to say he has been on the front lines of the drug war. Indeed, he was head of the South Florida Task Force and National Narcotics Border Interdiction System, both designed to promote cooperation among law-enforcement agencies in stanching the inflow of drugs. Yet that is precisely what makes him vulnerable: polls show that a majority of Americans believe that the Reagan Administration has failed to make a serious effort to stem the drug traffic...
...Fortunately, the worst was over. The market kept gyrating during the next few weeks, but there were no more crashes. Lately, the inflow of new investments has started to outpace redemptions, and Lynch is pleased that only 50,000 out of the 1 million-plus Magellan customers have abandoned the fund completely.

Says one European banker: "They are the ones who are funding the U.S. budget deficit." Ironically, Michigan, where the auto industry has been battered by Japanese imports, was saved from a budget crisis in 1982 when the Mitsubishi Bank agreed to guarantee $500 million worth of the state's bonds. Almost no project is too large or too small for the yen-laden financiers. Last year the Bank of Tokyo lent $5 million to a group of New York developers...
Besides pinching the inflow of drugs, the Government has tried to squeeze the outflow of profits. Since 1980 the Treasury Department has required financial institutions to report any transaction involving more than $10,000 in cash, a step that has sharply limited the ability of trafficking tycoons to invest or spend their money. In the past year the Government has clamped down on twelve major banks that failed to file the forms and may have been accepting drug money, wittingly or otherwise. In January the Treasury Department fined BankAmerica a record $4.75 million for such offenses...
