The agency is headed by the Secretary of Homeland Security, responsible for aspects of law enforcement related to homeland security, including immigration. DHS s immigration functions are divided primarily in 3 components: USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) responsible for benefits and adjudications; ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) responsible for interior enforcement of immigration and customs matters (detention, prosecution, deportation); CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) responsible for border controls of agriculture, customs, including border patrol and inspection. Department of Justice (DOJ): The entity that hears immigration cases and administers immigration laws along with DHS. This agency is headed by U.S. Attorney General, responsible for federal civil and criminal law enforcement. The Executive Office for Immigration Review, a component of DOJ, houses the Board of Immigration Appeals and the U.S. Immigration Courts, both of which are responsible for the adjudication of removal cases. dialogue: A verbal exchange between people that communicates thoughts, emotions, opinions, or other information. dignity: Bearing self-worth, evident as self-esteem or pride. displaced person: A person who has been forced by dangerous circumstances to leave home for a place of safety within the home country.

When circumstances cause a person to leave, he or she is in voluntary exile. fact: A true statement or statistic. family-based immigration: The authorized movement of people into the United States for purposes of joining family members. 281

Voluntary repatriation is when a person chooses to return to the home country. This may occur when the danger that threatened the person has ended. Involuntary repatriation, forced repatriation, or refoulement occurs when a person is forced to return to the home country against his or her will. This may occur when the country where a person seeks asylum does not recognize that person as a refugee; i.e., a person with a well-founded fear of persecution. resettlement: Moving a refugee from the country of first asylum to another country where he or she can settle permanently. Resettlement occurs when the refugee has no hope of returning safely to the home country.

There are two basic kinds of visas: temporary visas (like those used by tourists visiting the United States) and permanent, or immigrant visas (for those who are applying to stay in the United States on a long-term basis).

This person could potentially re-enter legally at a later time. welcoming environment: Safe, inviting surroundings that allow a person to fully express her thoughts, feelings, and opinions; learn; and achieve. work-based immigration: If a company is looking to fill a position and cannot find someone in the U.S. to do the job, it is allowed to look elsewhere in the world to find a qualified person. This person must have special skills, such as an expertise in a particular field, in order for the company to be permitted to sponsor her. 284 Sources: The Uprooted, American Immigration Lawyers Association, and The Advocates for Human Rights
