Oil prices are decreasing, gas prices should too. Last time oil was $96 a barrel, gas was $3.62 a gallon. Now it’s $4.31. Oil and gas companies shouldn’t pad their profits at the expense of hardworking Americans.

We’re delighted to see that the State Department has updated the criteria using which consular officers must determine non-immigrant intent of F-1 visa applicants. This is a long due reform that builds on the Rice Cable issued by the Department in 2005. fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FA…
