Questions Possibly Related to Cambridge, MassachusettsProvided By Y! Answers
Cambridge Massachusetts may soon be getting an influx of new residents? Question: Cambridge Massachusetts may soon be getting an
influx of new residents, and we don’t mean college students. An
illegal immigration reform group intends to put up a billboard
in New Jersey advertising Cambridge's "sanctuary" status for
illegal aliens and offering them help to get to Cambridge.
We’ll have that report. Lou Dobbs.Com
Answer:
We will see what Ted Kennedy says about that. When they are in his own back yard putting up tents, his tune will change. Like it usually does.
Liberals have this strange belief that everyone else has to change, but not them. Example: Ted Kennedy is all for windmill farms, until they try to put one in Massachusetts and he says NO, because he would be able to see them from his house and it does not look good. What a scumbag!

Can anyone recommend a reputable veterinary clinic in the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area in Massachusetts? Question: I have one 1.5 yr old beagle and a 2 yr old cat. Also, are there any city-mandated pet registration laws (other than the obvious, such as up-to-date rabies and annual vaccinations?) I know some cities, such as my current residence in Austin, require that pets (at least dogs, not sure about cats) be registered with the city.
Answer:
We just moved from Austin to Boston with a dog. We take her to Kindness animal hospital, in Waltham MA (just west of Cambridge). They are very nice, and they have a boarder too. They of course take care of making sure the dog is up to date with everything.

Answer:
States stepping up to tackle immigration laws
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
July 18, 2006
State lawmakers are offering more than 500 bills this year targeting state-mandated services, illegal aliens and the employers who hire them, responding to a growing chorus of public opinion nationwide calling for stricter enforcement of immigration laws.
Led by Georgia, where benefits for illegal aliens were cut and stiff sanctions placed on employers who hire illegals, and by Colorado, which banned nonemergency services to those in the country illegally, at least 39 states have either proposed or passed similar legislation.
Lawmakers have focused on constituency concerns regarding an estimated 10 million to 12 million illegal aliens now in the country, resulting in rising costs for education and medical care, higher crime rates and exploitation by employers.
Georgia lawmakers passed and Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican, signed legislation this year requiring adults seeking benefits to prove their U.S. citizenship, sanctioning employers who hire illegals and requiring companies with state contracts to check employees' legal status. The Georgia laws also require police to check the legal status of people they arrest.
The bill's author, state Sen. Chip Rogers, called it "the strongest single bill in America dealing with illegal immigration -- bar none." He told The Washington Times that it was intended to send a message that "while the federal government is not enforcing its immigration laws, the state of Georgia takes those laws seriously."
In Colorado, new legislation requires employers to show that new hires are in the country legally and makes it a felony for an illegal to vote. It also put two measures on the November ballot: one barring employers from receiving state tax assistance if they hire illegals and another allowing the state attorney general to sue the U.S. government to force compliance with immigration laws.
"If they've been taking benefits illegally, that's wrong," said Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican who worked with House Speaker Andrew Romanoff and Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald, both Democrats, to pass the legislation.
With federal immigration reform stalled on Capitol Hill, several states are proposing their own laws. More than 500 bills have been introduced this year covering a variety of topics, including employment, access to public benefits and voting rights, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The conference said 57 bills were passed this year, while others were vetoed and several more are awaiting gubernatorial action.
Other bills were passed in Arizona and Illinois, where U.S. citizenship or legal immigrant status is required to receive health benefits. Kansas will only provide unemployment benefits to citizens and those with legal immigration status, Wyoming bars noncitizens and nonlegal permanent residents from state scholarships, and New Hampshire requires proof of citizenship to register to vote.
In Louisiana, a new law allows any state agency to investigate a contractor's hiring policies if the employment of illegal aliens is suspected and says prosecutors can issue an order to fire the illegals and fine those employers who do not comply.
Other bills were passed in Pennsylvania, which prohibits illegal aliens on projects financed by grants or loans from the state; Tennessee, which bars companies from state contracts for a year after they hired illegal aliens; Missouri, which prohibits learner's permits, driver's licenses or renewal licenses to people illegally in the country; and Virginia, where students with temporary or student visa status are ineligible for in-state tuition.
Several bills also were vetoed, including in Arizona, where lawmakers in the Republican-controlled Legislature sought to criminalize illegal entry and allow trespassers to be prosecuted. They were vetoed by Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat.
Federal law requires states to provide some services to illegal aliens, including education and emergency medical care, but not other services, including continued health care and unemployment benefits.

Where's the best place to live near Harvard (Cambridge)? Question: I like to write some fiction, but I need some information about some places... and this time is about Cambridge (Massachusetts)!
I wanna know a residential quarter near Harvard (it would be great with expensive apartment buildings) with a beautiful neighborhood, great places to go, etc.
And additional information about the place and the city is welcome!
Thank you!
PS: Sorry for my English!
Answer:
I'd say West Cambridge/Brattle, between Harvard Square and the Charles River, up to Fresh Pond. Most of Cambridge is old housing, but the area to the northwest of the Square has big old houses and many new/rehabbed apartment buildings. The priciest apartments are close to Harvard Square. Many restaurants and cafes, hotels and bookstores. Harvard Square has more bookstores than do many cities. Mt. Auburn Cemetery is a great place to write about -- lovely walking, plus elaborate graves.
Porter Square is younger and hipper, and more affordable. Central Square is old, but has many ethnic restaurants and music venues, and a new live theater. Central Square is between Harvard and MIT, and is the place to hang out if you are young.
There are new trendy places as well as office towers at Kendall Square around MIT.
The rest of Cambridge is old housing stock, triple-deckers converted to condos and apartments. Mostly wood construction, lots of huge trees on the streets. Cambridge had rent control (until 1994) for a long time so much of the rental stock was converted to condos or had deteriorated.
Cambridge is generally quite liberal -- it's known as The People's Republic of Cambridge.
Oh -- and there are luxury high-rises all along the Charles River.
