	Shark Fishing Quota Increases Called Illegal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The suit challenges NMFS' emergency rule of December 27, 2002, which raised the large coastal shark quota by 33 percent and did away with a size limit that would have protected young sharks.
		This assessment found that large coastal sharks are still overfished, and suggested that quota cuts of up to 50 percent might be necessary to rebuild populations.
		The groups are calling for NMFS to lower the fishing quota to a precautionary level that stops overfishing and ensures rebuilding of all large coastal shark species, particularly the most depleted and vulnerable species, as mandated by law.

	De Novo: Making Immigration Illegal
		One aspect of the immigration debate that makes some advocates for illegal immigrants often unfairly suspect their opponents of racism is the relatively new distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
		The first significant restrictions on white immigrants came with the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, which limited the total annual number of immigrants to 357,802 but made many groups exempt from that quota.
		The Immigration Act of 1924 tightened it to 164,000, and also originated the modern system of having foreign consulates vet applicants and grant them visas, rather than simply telling ships that bore immigrants whether there was room left that year and making the ships that carried excess immigrants responsible for taking them back home.
