Comment on Scholars Sidebar: Cheering for the Criminal Alien

There is a waiver of inadmissibility available. Interestingly, assuming he's eventually convicted, it will likely be easier for him to enter as a non-immigrant than as an LPR because the non-immigrant waiver is more flexible. Of course, as with all waivers, there's a discretionary component so ultimately the government has to decide it wants to let him in.

If the entire United States is Immigration based,what's wrong to deal with to justify the immigrants who are the future American citizens? I think the new lawyers will do great job to correct the obvious wrongs in the Department of Justice, INS in particular.

The Immigration Law Clinic at University of California, Davis- King Hall SOL, I believe, does this quite effectively. I believe it is the longest continually running immigration law clinic in the country (at a law school), but could be wrong. However, they have an entire section of the clinic devoted to "ImmCon" consultations. They are training some very talented people there.

This article is helpful. It would be great if the procedure for applying for the 212h waiver and adjustment of status was explained as well.
