IMMIGRATION AND THE INTERNET
The Selective Service, the federal agency in charge of administering the military draft registration system in this country, has established a web site (http://www.sss.gov) that allows individuals to register for the draft online. Male permanent residents as well as citizens born after 1959 may be required to register for US military service. Failure to register can result in criminal penalties even though there is no draft. Unfortunately, many permanent residents are unaware of this legal obligation or mistakenly believe it does not apply to them.
The American Immigration Law Foundation has created a new public service web site (http://www.notable-immigrants.org) to honor immigrants who have benefited America. The site includes photos and biographies of immigrants who have made a significant contribution to America, the Congressman who submitted them for consideration and the individual attorneys who have interviewed the immigrants.
