IMMIGRATION LAW GUIDE |
Immigration
Law: Immigration law refers to national government policies
which control the phenomenon of immigration to their country.
Immigration law is related to nationality law, which governs the
legal status of people, in matters such as citizenship.
Immigration laws vary from country to country, as well as according
to the political climate of the times, as sentiments may sway
from the widely inclusive to the deeply exclusive, with respect
to foreign peoples from entering. Certain
countries may maintain rather strict laws which regulate the entry,
the duration of stay, the right to work, participate in government,
etc. Most countries have laws which designate a process for naturalization,
by which immigrants may become citizens. |
Naturalization: In law, naturalization is the
act whereby a person voluntarily and actively acquires a citizenship
which is not his or her citizenship at birth. Naturalization is
most associated with economic migrants or refugees who have immigrated
to a country and resided there as an alien, and who have voluntarily
chosen to become a citizen of that country after meeting specific
requirements. |
Citizenship: Citizenship is membership in a political
community (originally a city or town but now usually a country)
and carries with it rights to political participation; a person
having such membership is a citizen. It is largely coterminous
with nationality, although it is possible to have a nationality
without being a citizen (i.e., be legally subject to a state and
entitled to its protection without having rights of political
participation in it); it is also possible to have political rights
without being a national of a state. |
Illegal Immigration: Illegal
immigration refers to the immigration of people across national
borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destined
country. In politics, the term may imply a larger set of social
issues with disputed consequences in areas such as economy, social
welfare, education, health care, slavery, prostitution, crime,
legal protections, public services, and human rights. Illegal
emigration would be leaving a country in a manner which violates
the laws of the country being left. |
