A quiz, i know im getting visa, amen!!! my quiz is, does anyone have an idea which states among these is best for a family person; Virginia, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas? Thanks
I think this question is a bit broad. To the best of my knowledge there's no State in the US which isn't family friendly parse. Other things you may want to consider before deciding on where to stay could include nearness to friends/families, your job industry/job interest, the weather, the make-up/municipality of the place - (the list is endless)

Personally however, the number one State I would never consider settling in as an immigrant is Arizona! This largely has to do with the “Show me your papers” provision of Arizona’s 2010 immigration law, SB 1070 — which went into effect in September 2012. Admittedly this law is intended to help the State streamline, if not completely eradicate an influx of undocumented immigrants, the bottom line is this immigration law empowers its enforcers to engage in racial profiling.
The US justice system in general provides for an accused person's innocence until proven guilty, Arizona's SB 1070 on the other hand presumes all immigrants to be guilty until proven innocent! In Arizona, I would be presumed to be an illegal immigrant, simply because I speak with an 'accent', the cops have the right to demand to see my papers without having committed any crime. Of course the State is not admitting to engaging in racial profiling in the course of enforcing this law. A couple of other States enacting similar draconian law include: Alabama, Georgia, Utah, Indiana and South Carolina.
Now this is not to say that immigrants cannot thrive or prosper in these listed states, as I am not trying to discourage people from going to whichever place they plan on settling in. As a matter of fact, these States may actually score higher on other yard sticks an immigrant might be using to decide on where they want to settle in the US. It is simply a matter of personal preference and how much an individual can take.
