Semblances of Sovereignty - The Constitution, The State, and American Citizenship by T. Alexander Aleinikoff Amazon.com order link Addressing fundamental constitutional issues of citizenship and statehood in American society, Aleinikoff (Georgetown Univ. Law Ctr., Migration Policy Inst.) here introduces the concept of "sovereignty studies." Such studies aim to examine relationships between sovereignty, i.e., "supreme legal authority in the national state," and membership in our society as defined by U.S. constitutional law. Aleinikoff focuses upon U.S. Supreme Court decisions involving federal power over immigration, Indian tribes, and "territories" such as Puerto Rico.

Topic: White Water Puerto Rico: A Non-English Speaking Welfare State -Seeking US Statehood : SoonYour Flag Will Modified! Tomarrow, Puerto Ricans to Vote to become the 51st. Star on our Flag. Christian Science Monitor How close to a 51st star on the flag? • For the first time, Puerto Ricans Sunday could vote in favor of statehood - and most Americans seem unaware. David Abel , Special to The Christian Science Monitor SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO - Americans are not famous for their knowledge of other lands. So it may come as a surprise to many that a small island in the Caribbean, more than 1,000 miles southeast of Miami, will vote Sunday on whether to become the 51st US state. More than 2 million people in Puerto Rico, a strategically important gateway to the Caribbean seized by the United States 100 years ago during the Spanish-American War, will seek for the third time an end to their lingering national limbo. For decades this quasi-colony has existed as a US "commonwealth" - a sort of halfway house of Americanness devised in 1952. But this year, for the first time, it appears the faction intent on adding another star to the US flag will win most of the votes. While the plebiscite can be ignored by Congress - which in the end decides whether Puerto Rico should be allowed into the Union - a victory for pro-statehood Puerto Ricans would add weight to their long call for Washington's full embrace.

Necessary Documentation If you are a first-time applicant for a North Carolina driver license, learner's permit, or ID card, you will need to present the following documents in order to qualify: Social Security Number The Department of Motor Vehicles will not issue a driver license in the absence of a social security number. In the past, the DMV would allow nonimmigrants to apply for a driver license using a tax indentification number, but this is no longer possible due to a change of the law that took effect on January 1, 2003. 2) Identification For purposes of identification, you will need to show an official document(s) that contains your full name and date of birth. A driver license or photo ID issued by another U.S. state, the District of Colombia, Puerto Rico or a US Territory, a Canadian province will serve as a sufficient means of identification. If you do not have one of the above named documents, you will need to provide two forms of identification from the documents listed below. The documents cannot come from the same category (i.e. two school documents), and at least one of the two documents must show your date of birth.

Requirements for Identification Proof of Residency Requirements Requirements for Identification and other documents You May Need at the Driver License Office (Effective February 2, 2004) If you are getting a license, learner’s permit or an ID card for the first time in North Carolina, you will need to provide proof of your identity and your date of birth.

If you have a valid, unexpired driver license or photo ID issued by DMV in another state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or a U.S. Territory or by a Canadian province, that is sufficient as proof of identity and date of birth, as long as it shows your full name. If you do not have one of those documents, you must provide two forms of identification from the following list of acceptable documents. One document must have your date of birth. The name must be the same on both documents. The documents cannot come from the same category (e.g. two school documents). Altered documents will not be accepted . If any of your documents use a middle initial, you will need to bring one document which shows your full name, or you may complete an affidavit provided by DMV attesting to your middle name. A document may be held by a Driver License Examiner for a brief time in order to validate the document or verify its information. (The Examiner is not allowed to mark the document or otherwise tamper with it).

20. Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Climatology again ranks second, but is the only state or us territory not marked state, Fatalities per that tropical cyclones need not make landfall on puerto rico in order http://www.met.fsu.edu/Grads/carter/prrs/tc/

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Climatology In the mainland United States, the greatest threat that a landfalling hurricane poses is its attendant storm surge. Strongest in the front right quadrant of the storm, the storm surge inflicts its greatest damage on coastal buildings. In Puerto Rico, the storm surge is no less dangerous than in the mainland United States. Resort hotels and high rise coastal dwellings blanket entire segments of the island's coastline. It is the associate rainfall, however, that poses the greatest risk to life and property on the island during these storm events. The strong onshore flow of moist tropical air is forced up the slopes of the interior mountains inducing a large amount of orographic rain. Because tropical cyclones are several hundred kilometers in diameter, the orographic effect of these storms can affect much of the island. Furthermore, convective rain bands that scrape the island drop additional rain on the mountain slopes, swelling the streams and flooding terrain below. Flooding is the greatest meteorological killer in Puerto Rico. In fact, the recurring threat to human life from flooding is greater in Puerto Rico than in any state in the U.S. As shown in the first table below, Puerto Rico ranks second in flooding fatalities between 1960 - 1995. Only Texas with its geographical expanse and 16 million residents has more flooding-related fatalities over this time. California is a distant third, and South Dakota and West Virginia rank fourth and fifth respectively.
