Abstract

The number of illegal aliens in the United States with the consequent economic and social problems continues to increase. One response from the United States Supreme Court is a limitation of the waiver of deportation provision for illegal aliens who gained entry through a misrepresentation, but have families partially composed of United States citizens. The author suggests that this change in emphasis goes too far in restricting congressional intent to preserve family unity.
