In addition. although U.S. Immigration laws clearly state that an alien is subject to deportation If he receives public assistance within 5 years of entry into the United States. nevertheless. INS has ruled that an alien who receives public assistsance within 5 years after entry is deportable only if: First. the program from which the alien receives assistance requires repayment: Second. a demand for repayment hasbeen made. Third. the alien has refused or is unable to make repayment.
