| Summary: | Examines registry provision found in Section 249 of Immigration and Nationality Act, which provides a mechanism for certain unauthorized aliens in U.S. to acquire lawful permanent resident status. Reviews legislative history of the registry provision, and examines legislation in the 106th and 107th Congress to update the provision. Examines pro and con arguments concerning changing the required entry date from which continuous residence had to be shown, and assesses whether registry can be viewed as a form of amnesty for long-term unauthorized U.S. residents. |
