A. www.uscis.gov is a good start. Option #1: Employment-based immigration - Get a 4-5 year college degree and a few years of experience in a specialty occupation that there is a lack of US Citizens to fulfil. - Find a company in the USA that will sponsor them for an H-1B dual-intent visa. Then he/she will have a 30% chance of getting the H-1B visa in the lottery. I should mention upfront that they should expect to be exploited and underpaid for at least a few years here until they can prove themself valuable enough for a company to process their Green Card, which is easier said than done these days. Option #2: Enter the diversity lottery for Green Cards - Nationals from certain countries can enter a random lottery where they have about a 0.0 [cont.]

Why have Morocco,Tunisia and Algeria won their independence but not Palestine?
Q. Which remains subject to daily violence and oppression at the hands of the "jewish" overlords? What should they do? How can they achieve independence?

A. By not waiting for that day; the three countries you mention did not wait for any day; they went to work right after WWII and by the mid-50s to early 60's they all had thrown off their oppressors. It took a lot of effort and a long time but less time than waiting for that day. If you wait for that day it will never come. The fundamental rule of revolution is: revolution now. Waiting for some imaginary "right" moment or "perfect" opportunity is tantamount to surrender. The Palestinians should not have permitted themselves to be fooled by "Oslo"; they should have simply continued the civil war now known as the First Intifada - which is now simply one for the history books. But it could have led to independence by 1999.
