The Immigration Reform and Control Act (Simpson-Mazzoli Act (IRCA), Pub. L. No. 99-603, 100 Stat. 3359 (November 6, 1986) (signed by President Ronald Reagan) is an Act of Congress which reformed United States immigration law.
Employment sanctions
The law criminalized the act of knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant and established financial and other penalties for those employing illegal aliens, under the theory that low prospects for employment would reduce illegal immigration. It introduced the I-9 form to ensure that all employees presented documentary proof of their legal eligiblity to accept employment in the United States.
These sanctions would only apply to employers that had more than three employees and that did not make a sufficient effort to determine the legal status of the worker. IRCA also established a provision that if “wide-spread” discrimination was caused through employer-sanctions, according to a three year report by the General Accounting Office (now the Government Accountability Office) (GAO), then the sanctions would be repealed. The GAO found discrimination in 10% of cases studied, and the employment sanctions were not repealed.
Legal amnesty
The law established a one-year amnesty program for illegal immigrants who had already worked and lived in the U.S. since January 1982. Those eligible could apply for regularization of status and eventually full citizenship. The law also mandated the intensification of Border Patrol activities including the auditing of employer I-9 forms. Over 2.7 million illegal aliens and others not qualifying for visas were legalized under the 1986 IRCA amnesty.[citation needed]
Rolling Stone will be printed on what it calls “carbon neutral paper,” because it is made through a process that the magazine claims adds no carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The paper, which is considerably thinner than what Rolling Stone uses now, is made by a Canadian mill, Catalyst Paper, that the magazine says has reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by 82 percent since 2005 and been cited by the World Wildlife Fund for its conservation efforts.
Catalyst offsets the small amount of carbon released in making the paper by planting trees that will not be harvested for more paper, but rather left standing to help cool the climate, said Lyn Brown, a vice president at Catalyst.
What neither an editor’s note in Rolling Stone nor a press release sent by the magazine mentions, however, is that the new paper has no recycled content, which prompted a mixed review by Frank Locantore, director of the Magazine Paper Project at Co-op America, a nonprofit group that works with publishers to reduce paper use.
“Are the steps that Rolling Stone is taking good and important ones?” Mr. Locantore asked. “Yes. But what I’m afraid they are doing in the process is diverting attention away from the need to use recycled paper.” He added, “All the evidence shows that the greatest ecological and social benefits come from using recycled paper.”
Eric Bates, deputy managing editor of Rolling Stone, said, “We think recycled paper is great.”

Talking about female horses? Was Danica Patrick riding it?
lol...you’re bad!
I don't know about Fedora 7 that came out last month, though.
All the Live Earth 7 Whatever concerts... will Al Bore hop between them? tsk tsk tsk
Reporters aren’t carbon-neutral. They can’t even be bothered to recycle Gatorade bottles or plastic film canisters.
You have to play the newer version till you unlock the classic game.
The response isn't the same, but it aint't bad.
Says (drumroll, please)... The London Independent.
They’ve been beating this “global warming is causing chaos” drum for a long time now. If they keep beating this drum, it’ll quickly become like beating a dead horse.
I'm sorry, but, some of us have been saying this for years. Anyone using gmail?
and they know this, even better than we do. I’m so cynical anymore. Can’t trust ANYBODY.
I don’t knowingly use Google anything. Yahoo search usually works
for me.
I never thought about Albania, but a guy told me his family hosted a Yugoslavian exchange student, and when he paid a reciprocal visit, Albania was the butt of most jokes in Yugoslavia.
Oh, and, John Belushi's family was from Albania.

You know, lainie, the two of us seem to have a lot in common.
Matt’s “abuzz” with the Fred-Thompson-Internet thing. I’m surprised he hasn’t said anything about the Ron-Paul-Internet thing.
I do. I was going to start using the google picture storage thingy today, but it started uploading every image on my computer so I canceled out of that. I will stick with photo bucket.
