17 A Brieft History of Immigration Laws 18 th and early 19 th centuries saw free & open immigration. -basically, there were very few immigration law restrictions After the civil war, states sought to pass immigration laws. Supreme Court said regulation of immigration is a federal responsibility.
18 History of Immigration Laws In the Immigration Act of 1891, the federal government assumes direct control of inspecting, admitting, rejecting, and processing all immigrants seeking admission to the United States The 1891 Act created a list of excludable groups: polygamists, persons convicted of crimes of moral turpitude, and those suffering loathsome or contagious diseases. Since that time, the Immigration and Nationality Act has been amended multiple times. In recent history, the most notable changes were in 1986 and in 1996/1997
19 History of Immigration Laws Ellis Island opens in New York Harbor on January 2, Largest and busiest port of entry employed 119 of the Immigration Service's entire staff of 180 in 1893.
20 1986 Legislative Change Amnesty -required employers to attest to their employees' immigration status; -made it illegal to hire or recruit illegal immigrants knowingly; -legalized certain seasonal agricultural illegal immigrants, and; -legalized illegal immigrants who a) entered the United States before January 1, 1982; b) had resided there continuously with the penalty of a fine, back taxes due, and admission of guilt; c) prove they were not convicted of certain crimes; and d) that they possessed minimal knowledge about U.S. history, government, and the English language was the last law that provided a real pathway to status
21 1996/1997 IIRIRA and AEDPA A) Unlawful Presence bars to LPR status B) Criminal conviction bars to status C) Other bars to status D) Impacts of bars on ability to access the immigration system
22 Recent Immigration Policy Issues Attempts at Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2006 and 2009 Deporter in Chief, Secure Communities, Removal Quotas, and Enforcement Prosecutorial Discretion and the DACA Program in 2012 The 2014 Central American immigrant/refugee surge In 2018, travel bans, using the local CJS for immigration enforcement, Sanctuary City resistance to enforcement only immigration policy
23 How to get legal under Immigration Law MYTHS around obtaining lawful immigration status ( getting legal ): -Marriage to U.S. citizen resolves immigration issues -Having U.S. citizen children (anchor babies) gives a person immigration status -Paying taxes allows a person to apply for immigration status -Being a hard worker/filling a job that is empty allows for immigration status -Being in the country for a long time gives a person immigration status -There is a green card store where you can go to figure it out
24 Options to Get Legal Immigration Status -Family based petitions immediate relatives and preference categories -Employment based petitions -Asylum -Temporary Protected Status (only for those from designated countries) --Relief in Removal Proceedings (e.g. cancellation of removal) -Deferred Action (including DACA and other types of protection)
25 Married to a U.S. Citizen? Adjustment of Status vs. Consular Processing Bars -false claims to USC, fraud, unlawful presence, convictions -the perm bar and unlawful presence Mixed status families and the truth and myths of chain migration
26 Applying for the Parent of a U.S. Citizen Can t U.S. citizens just apply for their parents? Isn t that chain migration? What s the actual legal and factual answer, as opposed to the cheap pundit answer or political talking point? The Realities of an Application for the Parent of a U.S. Citizen: A U.S. citizen child cannot file petition for parent until age 21 If the parent came into the U.S. unlawfully at any point in the past, there is a lifetime bar to them getting their LPR status, with narrow exceptions Those who are eligible also have to overcome the grounds of inadmissibility for a range of issues that would prevent obtaining status
27 Hypothetics for People Seeking Status A) Visa overstay with U.S. citizen spouse B) EWI/undocumented, one entry, U.S citizen spouse C) EWI two entires, U.S. citizen spouse, three USC kids, owns biz D) Undocumented child, EWI, with LPR parents E) DACA kid with DWAI conviction, no family with status F) EWI, business owner or foreman for 20+ years, USC kids, job creator
28 Employment-based Applications for LPR Status From one non-immigrant visa status to another an alphabet soup of process Robust process of petition, labor certification, proof of offer, not displace U.S. worker, and then show no grounds of inadmissibility Can undocumented people get their status through their employment? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
29 Naturalization LPR for 5 years (3 if married to a U.S. citizen) Person of Good Moral Character Convictions, tax issues, infidelity Spent more than half of last 5 years in U.S. English Test Civics and History Test
