This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations, as required by law, to provide for the collection of a $3 fee for commercial vessel passengers previously exempt under section 286(e)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), other than passengers on Great Lakes ferries and other Great Lakes vessels.
The Midwestern United States (or Midwest) is a name for the north-central states of the United States of America. The states that are part of the Midwest are: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The word Midwest has been in common use for over 100 years. Other names for the area are no longer used.
I think this is bulls**t. The Midwest, to me, reaches as far west as Minnesota, and as far south as Missouri. To settle the debate, I polled 20 random coworkers about which states belonged in the club. The directions were clear: Take this blank map and shade in the states you think are Midwestern. This is not a test, and there are no wrong answers. It was definitely a test, and there were definitely wrong answers.
