2/26    I have dual citizenship. If I leave US and enter country Z, is
        there a way I can make the immigration booth "stamp" both passports
        (not necessarily stamp, but electronically record) such that both
        countries know that I left US for country Z. Then, when I depart
        country Z and head back to US, only provide the US passport? I'd
        like to do this so country Z thinks that I am permanently residing

        it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
        shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
        wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
        and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.

Reuters Americans didn't flock to Canada after Bush win By David Ljunggren Fri Aug 5,10:37 AM ET OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians can put away those extra welcome mats -- it seems Americans unhappy about the result of last November's presidential election have decided to stay at home after all. President Bush won a second term, the number of US citizens visiting Canada's main imm igration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy De mocrats would flock north. But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election. On the face of it this is not good news -- Canada is one of the few major nations seeking to attract immigrants -- but Immigration Minister Joe V olpe was philosophical. "We'll take talent from wherever it is resident in the world. I was absol utely elated to see the number of hits and then my staff said 'You know what? A hit on the Internet is after all just a hit'," he told Reuters o n Thursday. "I guess I'm happy Republicans and Democrats have found a way to live tog ether in peace and in harmony," he said. Canada generally tilts more to the social and political left than the Uni ted States. Data from the main Canadian processing center in Buffalo, NY shows that i n the six months up to the US election there were 16,266 applications from people seeking to live in Canada, a figure that fell to 14,666 for the half year after the vote. A spokeswoman for Canada's federal immigration ministry declined to specu late on the reasons for the drop. Toby Condliffe, who heads the Canadian chapter of Democrats Abroad, did h ave an explanation of sorts. "I can only assume the Americans who checked out the Web site subsequentl y checked out our winter temperatures and further took note that the Nat ional Hockey League was being locked out and had second thoughts," he to ld Reuters. Last year, Canada, which has a population of about 32 million, accepted 2 35,808 immigrants from all over the world.
