For example:
Suppose someone from Canada comes to the USA on a visa, then the visa expires, and they are caught without a visa, and thus are an illegal alien. What penalties will the USA enforce on such a person once they’re caught?
Can anyone give sources where I can find this information?

I am starting an import/export business and I wanted to find information on alcohol consumption in the USA by basic types and a few specifics. How much Tequila is consumed and Amaretto. Who supplies what and their market share.

Here are two websites to go to:

I am about to buy a mercedes car from USA since it much cheaper and has lot more features. But I want to know if i can deliver it to my home in India?If so, how?

Well you have to get it shipped on a boat thats for sure. Call one of the overseas shipping companies and ask them for a shipping quote. You might have to meet them at the port to pay for duties and whatnot if you have that there. Shouldn’t be too hard though… good luck!

My mom is mexican, she became a USA citizen 2 months ago.
Seocnd answer.
I didnt the benefits of being a mexican.
Dumba*s.
She’s a mexican who became a CITIZEN of the USA.

As an immigrant who was born in India and became a proud US Citizen, I know the importance of loyal citizenship.
She will always be nothing more than a Mexican unless drops being Mexican and starts respecting her new country by putting AMERICA FIRST! Nothing else matters.

Can someone please explain what a labor union is, and the benefits of being part of one, as well as the following question: How are labor unions important in the USA today?
I am writing a paper for a college scholarship, and I just need some info, anything would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I suggest you google this issue or go to a library. However, it has been labor unions that ruined the auto, steel and paper industries in the United States. They have also ruined themselves except for those that are in the service industries like the SWEA union which can’t move as they service service industries here in the United States. We lost our auto and steel industries to foreign countries where unions are not allowed and the labor is controlled by their government and their government controlled wage scales (China, India, Japan etc.). They got so greedy that they drove the industries that were supporting them out of this country. This is one reason General Motors and Chrysler failed and our country is in bad shape economically. The other reasons are our stupid economic policies, manipulation of foreign currencies by China and Japan, and our governments not putting tariffs on imports like the Chinese and Japanese do to protect their industries..

What is the difference between a Major and a Minor? How many majors and how many Minors must we take? When do we declare a Major and what does that mean? What is Double Degree? Major and minors can come from any disciplines, yes?

Etc, etc.

I’m planning to pursue education in USA, but I am confused with the undergraduate system.

Yes, a "major" can be any discipline like Math, History, Economics, Chemistry, etc. In order to successfully be eligible for graduation in the US you need to complete a certain amount of classes related to your major. The requirements vary from college to college. For example, my university (Columbia) requires two courses in Math, one in Statistics, and nine in Economics in order for me to graduate with a degree in Economics. This does not include the unrelated "liberal arts" classes (literature, arts, music) I must take in addition to my Economics major.

A "minor" represents other interests you have besides your major, but it does not require as many classes as a major. Think of it as a mini-major (a minor!).

When you "double major" you are basically taking on a second major (major is described above).

All colleges require a "major" as the minimum requirement to graduate. But you do not have to declare a minor or a double-major. Those are optional, for more ambitious students.

I plan to set up a company (maybe LLC) that will allows me to import stuffs (brooms, oil, ginger, cocoa, etc.) into the USA. I was wondering what I should do in term of:

1. What the requirements are to set up such company?
2. How to import stuffs into the USA, Rules and Regulations?
3. How to market and find buyers?
4. How to secure payments from national and international transactions?
5. Can anyone provide useful resources for all the questions above?
Thanks in advance!

These countries produce goods much much cheaper than in USA.
Will it be possible to keep paying high us $ salaries to workers in USA compared to other developing countries ???

Modern economy is not only about manufacturing, but also about services and intellectual property.

When you pay $10 for a T-shirt, $2 goes to China for making the shirt, $3 goes to GAP that designed the shirt, and $5 goes to the shop for its employee salaries, rent, and transportation costs.

Food is was mostly grown in US due to trade barriers and farmer subsidies (little dirty secret of our free-market economy). On top of that, half the food we consume comes from restaurants or fast food, so it is processed in US.

Rent and housing money obviously goes to US sources.

And then come services. Cell phones, Internet, Cable, Movies and DVDs, iTunes, videogames, are all US-made.

So the bottom line is that China might be making material stuff, but it’s the intangible goods that matter, and US is way ahead in those.

What are the most scary ways the USA government is watching us?
The best answer will be the one who gives me some crazy information, not uncluding Cell phones, on-star, bla bla bla, but actually some way that they are watching us that most people do not know about.
Please include a link of where you found the info as well.

your television set…..

I heard some commercial advertising on how you can use your TV to do your banking and other internet transactions….order food, etc..

right there in that one instrument they can learn an awful lot about you….from what shows you watch to what on line searches you make to what restaurants you order fast food from, to your banking patterns etc….
I heard that all cell phones now have a built in tracking device and that coming soon gasoline tax will be replaced by a tax derived from GPS calculated mileage that you drive with your car.

We also know about the red light cameras..soon they will literally be at every street corner. They are also discussing a way to give you speeding tickets using sky cameras on drones and planes so that it has the effect of increasing the highway patrol 1000 times over.

I am planning my honeymoon during July 2nd week. What are the best beach spots around East Coast USA, in and outside USA, for honeymoon ?

My suggestion is to rent a private home on the beach. Go to a site like VRBO.com for suggestions. If you want to drive, you can head up north to Cape Cod (Mass) or even the coast of Maine. In the Mid-Atlantic area, try Ocean City (NJ or MD). In the south, maybe Myrtle Beach or the Outer Banks (NC). If the beach is not your thing, try the mountains in NH (White Mt) or VA (Shenandoah) — wonderful hiking there.

We honeymooned in Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands. We rented a wonderful villa (from cvillas.com) and it was absolutely fabulous. BVI is a great destination because it’s a bit off-the-beaten-path, with no high rise resorts or casinos, but still lots of great restaurants and fun activities.

Even though you won’t usually have daily maid service when you rent a house (meaning you make your own bed), having complete privacy is such a plus on your honeymoon. It’s so perfect to have an entire home to yourself. We never cooked, but we did stop by a grocery store and stocked up on drinks and snacks. I loved haiving the house all to ourselves (we even had a pool overlooked by no neighbors), and it was great not to see other honeymooners every time we turned around.

We’ve rented houses in Tortola (twice), Cape Cod (Mass), Ocean City (NJ), Cape May (NJ), Ocean City (MD), Estes Park (CO), and Orlando (FL). We’ve had nothing but good luck.
