Reentry after removal would also be another aggravated felony. and these provisions would result in a permanent bar to reentry and no chance of a waiver whatsoever. Now. criminalizing unlawful presence by an incarceration of more than 1 year is. to me. over the top. Millions of immigrants could be impacted and would suddenly be unable to apply for relief if they had been convicted of unlawful presence. Any immigrant who overstayed a visa and was convicted would be permanently barred from any form of immigration relief. Families who have been living and working in the U.S. for years would suddenly be ineligible for immigration relief that they would otherwise be able to receive. Virtually anyone who overstayed a visa could be guilty of an aggravated felony and thus ineligible for release. Now. the last thing I want to mention before I reserve the balance of my time is to state what we do need. And I have taken a little time to come around to this.
