白大哥的这种做法把不少移民害苦了

在法庭上讲的好好的说只要PLEAD GUILTY六个月以后
就把案子DISMISS掉不算CONVICTION。 可惜的是
移民法( IIRAIRA- Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act)特地加了一条把
CONVICTIO的定义定的非常之广

看看下面的移民法条文

8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(48)(A).

(A) The term “conviction” means, with respect to an alien, a formal judgment of guilt of the alien entered by a court or, if adjudication of guilt has been withheld, where—
(i) a judge or jury has found the alien guilty or the alien has entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or has admitted sufficient facts to warrant a finding of guilt, and
(ii) the judge has ordered some form of punishment, penalty, or restraint on the alien’s liberty to be imposed.
