Illegal immigrant laws simplistic, witness says – (at Hazleton trial)
Tagged: deportationPosted on: March 20th, 2007“Federal immigration law is so complex that it can take years for the government to determine whether a person is in the country legally or illegally, an expert witness testified Monday at a trial over Hazleton’s illegal immigrant crackdown.
Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration lawyer and co-author of a 20-volume treatise on immigration law, said there are many ways illegal immigrants can “regularize their status,” including marrying a U.S. citizen and obtaining political asylum. And even someone facing deportation can take advantage of a lengthy federal appeals process, he said.”
