That would've been a sight to behold.

As it should be.

More Mexicans returning home, fewer immigrating to U.S.

You do realize that aside from Native Americans, this whole country is made up of people from other countries... don't you? Most of those are European countries as well.

I would consider myself to be a European descendant. Does that mean you don't want me to live here?

Since I'm 1/32 Choctaw how do I fit into this? Should I just chop part of me off and leave it behind? ( No Pretear, not that part! )

Oh and I'm about 128th Arab, so does that part have to go back to Tunisia?

It's too late for my brother. He lost his home after "illegal immigrants" took all of the construction jobs around here for the last 10 years. They're all leaving from my area as well. No more jobs.

how much additional mass added to the earth can be gained before it becomes too heavy to spin or orbit around the sun without decaying into a collision path with it, or escape its orbit?

It would take a lot of mass to have any noticeable effect on a planet's spin or orbit.

On the other hand, being able to mine an asteroid implies being able to alter it's orbit with the possible result of putting it into conflict with a planet's orbit. That would have an effect.

So, who wants to have an argument with a crusty old asteroid miner about his back taxes?
