immigration laws
Entry permit statutes
Immigration laws are statutes governing who may enter, reside in, or become a citizen of a country.
They establish visa categories, set quotas, define grounds for deportation, and create pathways to legal status.
The new immigration laws tightened asylum requirements.
Immigration law as a field encompasses the regulations, procedures, and court decisions interpreting these statutes.
