GGD-98-81 Illegal Aliens: Changes in the Process of Denying Aliens Entry Into the United States
"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
A 1996 immigration reform law established new procedures for dealing with aliens entering the country with false or improper documents and for deciding who may be eligible for asylum. Known as "expedited removal," the new process gives Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) officials, rather than immigration judges, the authority to formally order these aliens removed from the country. The process also limits the rights of aliens to appeal a decision of exclusion. Aliens who fear being persecuted or tortured if they are returned to their home country are to be granted an interview, known as a "credible fear interview," to determine if their claims of asylum stand a reasonable chance of success. This report discusses (1) how the expedited removal process and INS procedures to implement it differ from the procedures used to exclude aliens before the 1996 act; (2) the implementation and results of the process for making credible fear determinations during the seven months following the implementation of the expedited removal process in April 1997; and (3) the mechanisms that INS established to monitor expedited removals and credible fear determinations and to improve these processes. GAO discusses estimates by INS and immigration judges of the costs to implement the expedited removal process and the time needed to adjudicate expedited removal cases and credible fear determinations.
