When a foreign national arrives at a U.S. port of entry and applies for entry, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer will determine whether he is admissible to the U.S. In some cases, the CBP officer may deny admission and issue an expedited removal order, forcing the person to leave the U.S. immediately or on the next available flight. An expedited removal order may be issued against a foreign national who lacks proper documentation or is found to have committed fraud or willful misrepresentation of facts to gain admission to the U.S. Between ports of entry, in some situations, an expedited removal order may be issued against those who illegally entered the U.S. and cannot prove continuous presence for more than two years.

Foreign nationals who have accrued unlawful presence in the U.S. are barred from re-entering the country for three years (if they were unlawfully present for at least 180 days but less than one year) or 10 years (if they were unlawfully present for one year or more). This is commonly known as the 3/10-year bar. Moreover, foreign nationals who entered the U.S. illegally or otherwise do not quality to adjust to permanent resident status must depart for consular processing of their immigrant visa. Once they depart the country, they trigger the 3/10-year bar. To be excused from this bar, they must apply for a waiver of inadmissibility by filing a Form I-601 application with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). The waiver is approved if they show that that their qualifying relative (spouse or parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident) would suffer extreme hardships if they were not allowed to re-enter the U.S. Because the waiver processing can take several months to several years, USCIS is proposing changes to allow certain applicants to file for a provisional waiver while they wait in the U.S. for a decision.

For the most part, U.S. immigration laws are complex and confusing. Some are little known or frequently overlooked. Some carry serious consequences that may result in a permanent bar to immigrating to the U.S. One provision that is especially problematic is section 212(a)(6)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This dictates that any foreign national who falsely claims to be a U.S. citizen for any purpose or benefit under the INA or any federal or state law, including to obtain a job or vote in the U.S., is permanently inadmissible to the U.S. Such a false claim also makes the person removable from the U.S.

This is the largest number of removals in the agencys history and the third year in a row that a new record was set. Currently, almost 300,000 individuals are in deportation proceedings.
ICE credits much of its success to a targeted enforcement strategy, which focuses removal efforts on criminal offenders and others who pose a threat to national security. Central to this strategy is a program called Secure Communities, the newest and most controversial immigration enforcement program.

But the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) reports that this claim is misleading. The number of removal cases pending before the Immigration Courts continues to rise, reaching a total of 285,526 at the end of July 2011. This represents an all-time high and a rise of 3.7 percent from three months ago. Only 8.3 percent of the pending cases involved foreign nationals charged with aiding terrorism, criminal activities, and actions adverse to national security.

The recent collapse in the worldwide economy has led to an increase in violence, instability and crime in many countries across the globe. Wealthy foreign nationals in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America are seeking a safer environment to live and invest their money. Although some European countries, Canada, and Australia offer safer territories to invest, they have very limited immigrant visa programs and the investments are heavily taxed. Meanwhile, the United States has created one of the most beneficial immigrant investor visa programs in U.S. immigration history, known as the EB-5. The EB-5 program allows foreign nationals to invest in the Unites States and obtain lawful permanent status (green card) for themselves and their immediate family (spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age), which is the first step to become a U.S. citizen.

Despite the lack of comprehensive immigration reform, there is a glimmer of hope for the millions of undocumented youth living in the United States. On June 6, 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a California law, AB 540, that allows undocumented students to attend state colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates. The Supreme Courts refusal to examine the case means that Californias undocumented immigrant youth will continue to reap the benefits of reduced tuition in the states institutions of higher education.

Over three million students graduate from U.S. high schools every year. Most get the opportunity to pursue a college degree, strive for their vocational goals, and reach for their American dream. According to the PEW Hispanic Center in Washington, D.C, however, approximately 65,000 youths do not get this opportunity because they are smeared with the inherited label of being illegal immigrants. These youths have lived in the United States for most of their lives and want to be recognized as Americans.
Congress is attempting to provide immigration relief for undocumented youths through legislation known as the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act). The Act has been introduced in each subsequent Congressional session in various forms, for the last 10 years since 2001. The latest version passed the House in December 2010, but was defeated in the Senate. This year, on May 11, three Democratic Senators Harry Reid of Nevada, Richard Durbin of Illinois, and Robert Menendez of New Jersey reintroduced the DREAM Act in the Senate. This came just a few days after the California State Assembly approved Californias version of the Act. The legislators, together with 29 other Senators, including Barbara Boxer of California, advocated for the bill that died in the Senate, arguing it is long overdue and beneficial for the national economy.

Marriage transcends religion, language, culture and, in some cases, even gender. Although marital rights are recognized almost everywhere in the world, each country defines them differently. The reasons to marry include legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual and religious factors, and vary across individuals as well as cultures. Some marriages are arranged while others are chosen by the parties themselves. Marriages are entered into for family obligations, the legal establishment of a nuclear family unit, the legal protection of children, and the declaration of the parties commitment to each other.
Regardless of the various reasons for marriage, all foreign nationals seeking to immigrate to the United States based on marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) must prove one thing: they share a bonafide marriage that is based on mutual love and affection and was entered into with the intent of establishing a life together. If U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) concludes that the parties married solely or primarily to obtain U.S. immigration benefits, it will issue a marriage fraud finding and deny the I-130 spousal petition. A sham marriage determination may also result in the refusal of issuance of an immigrant visa, denial of adjustment to lawful permanent resident status, the loss of resident status previously granted, and removal from the United States. A marriage fraud finding that is not overcome could forever bar the foreign national from gaining permanent resident status in the U.S.
