	United Kingdom - MSN Encarta
		Environmental protection is an important issue in the United Kingdom because as a highly populated and technologically advanced nation grows the environment suffers.
		Immigration from the South Asian subcontinent (India and Pakistan) stabilized in the 1990s, but immigration from African countries continued to rise.
		The United Kingdom is generally a prosperous, well-educated, and tolerant society, and ethnic differences have sparked relatively little violence and hostility.

	Immigration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Immigration is the act of relocating to another country or region, whether temporarily or permanently.
		Others disagree, believing that overly restrictive immigration policies and practices would not address the economic demand for work emanating from wealthier countries, would not harm the security or cohesiveness of the country, and would endanger the lives of legitimate refugees from political or racial oppression.
		Some environmentalists concerned with overpopulation favor limiting immigration as a means of isolating the effects of human population growth, while others argue that overpopulation and environmental degradation are global problems that should be addressed by other methods.

	Immigration And Asylum Act
		Immigration rules will specify the circumstances in which a financial security will be required, the maximum amount and the circumstances in which the financial security must be repaid or forfeited.
		Otherwise, rights of appeal are limited to those who are to be removed from the United Kingdom: there will no longer be a right of appeal for those who are given leave to remain on ceasing to be exempt from control, or those who are given less favourable leave than that which they had requested.
		The immigration officer may re-examine a person to ascertain whether there has been a change of circumstances, among other matters, and may cancel leave where it is found that the holder no longer qualifies, or suspend it until the examination is complete.

	Migration Information Source - United Kingdom: Rising Numbers, Rising Anxieties
		The Immigration Act of 1971, which favored immigration by individuals "of British stock," including immigrants from Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia, encouraged white immigration from former colonies by increasing the scope for permanent settlement on the basis of kinship ties and predominantly European descent.
		Another way of estimating immigration to the UK is to examine the number of people who were granted the right to settle permanently.
		Immigration from other parts of the Commonwealth over the last few decades (notably India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Caribbean, and African countries such as Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda) and recent inflows from other parts of the world (notably Somalia, Afghanistan, China, and Iraq) have contributed to increasing ethnic diversity in the UK.

	British Immigration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Immigration is the act of moving to or settling in another country or region, temporarily or permanently.
		Immigration means "in-migration" into a country, and is the reverse of emigration, or "out-migration." The long term and/or permanent movement of human population in general, whether into, out of, or within countries (or before the existence of recognised countries) is regarded as migration.
		Many other countries permit immigration in particular circumstances, e.g., to fill jobs where a skill is not available locally, for wealthy investors or business leaders, in cases of marriage, multiple citizenship or asylum, or under multilateral agreements such as within the European Union or between New Zealand and Australia.

		The Congress reworked the text of the Declaration until a little after eleven o'clock, July 4th, when thirteen colonies voted for adoption and released an unsigned copy to the printers.
		Independence Day, as the only holiday celebrating the United States as a whole, is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays.
		Rather, contemporary Americans generally perceive the holiday as a celebration of the U.S.A. itself, rather than specifically as an opportunity to commemorate the end of British rule in the 18th century.

		Since 2 October 2000, provisions have existed in the Immigration Rules (rule 295) relating to the admission of a foreign common law or gay/lesbian partner of a UK based person, where the couple concerned can demonstrate a relationship “akin to marriage” which has subsisted for at least two years.
		This will afford another possibility for a foreign national in such a partnership to seek leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. While, again, the couple should be able to demonstrate an ability to support and accommodate themselves without relying on public funds, it is hoped that discretion will be exercised in compassionate cases.
