For Immediate Release
Council on Foreign Relations Calls for Sweeping Immigration Reform
July 8, 2009
Washington, DC - Today, the Council on Foreign Relations, one of the oldest and most respected non-partisan foreign policy think tanks in America, issued a sweeping report on U.S. immigration policy. Developed by an independent task force comprised of bi-partisan leaders, including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Former Clinton White House Chief of Staff Thomas "Mack" McLarty, the report finds that the passage of comprehensive immigration reform is vital to the national interests of the United States. The report offers a number of specific recommendations to reform current policy, but most notably insists that the time is now to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Failure to do so, argues the task force, "threatens to weaken America's economy, to jeopardize its diplomacy, and to imperil its national security."
The following is a statement by Mary Giovagnoli, Director of the Immigration Policy Center:
"That fact that the Council on Foreign Relation is examining U.S. immigration policy is a clear signal that immigration is now regarded as a matter of national security and international diplomacy, not only a domestic policy concern with broad economic implications. The Council on Foreign Relations' report states unequivocally that comprehensive immigration reform is not only good for America, but vital to our national interests. The report places the debate over comprehensive reform in a broader context, challenging Congress and the White House to move forward now on a sensible and thoughtful reform of our broken immigration system. The fact that a diverse group of leaders representing a range of political perspectives can reach consensus on immigration reform is not only a good sign, but an indication of just how critical immigration has become in efforts to maintain America's political, economic, and moral leadership in the world."

The Strongest Nonagenarians and Healthiest People in the World : Okinawans, Sardinians, Costa Ricans, Asian-Americans, Mexican-Americans and Mediterranean Immigrants in Europe
This is a big Medical Controversy in the Internet and there are no Perfect Beautiful and Definite Conclusions. There is Zero Agreement among Scientists.
Asian Americans and Mexican Americans live more than Whites and Blacks inside the U. S. This is very old knowledge ( 20 years ) and very much confirmed by Statistics.
There are many explanations, self-selection of the healthiest by Immigration, return of the Weak to original country ( River Salmon Effect ), eating little food in Youth, Family ties and support, Religiosity, etc ...
And nobody is happy with the explanations. The confirmations and refutals are constantly discarded and contradicted by other scientists.
Even more complicated Mexicans seem in better Health than Puerto Ricans and Cubans inside the U. S. .
Costa Ricans are longeves ( Super Longevity and Old in Italian ) !! ??
Costa Ricans defeat advanced countries in survival and age expectancy !!
Sardinians and Okinawans are poorer than Italians and Japanese but outlive their countrymen
And they are hard to kill !!
Why Hispanic Babies are so sturdy and hard to kill ??, and why Mexican Children seem to endure sickness better than White or Black Children ??, and have higher survival rates ??.
I am collecting many pages about the "Hispanic Paradox" ... Why Hispanics are living so long in the U. S. ??
