Abstract

This Comment addresses the issues surrounding whether an alien had made an "entry" for purposes of determining the right of an alien to remain in the United States. The author argues that the term means much more than simply being physically present in the country and its implications are profound. The author examines the elements of the statutory definition of "entry," articulated in Section 101(a)(13) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and surveys the various interpretations thereof by federal courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals.
