The St. Cyr decision in 2001 caused the Department of Justice to publish a proposed rule on August 13, 2002, to permit certain lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to apply for relief, under former section 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, from deportation or removal based on certain criminal convictions before April 1, 1997. The proposed rule described procedures implementing the Supreme Court's decision in St. Cyr. The final rule adopts the proposed rule without substantial change.

Section 212(a)(9)(B)(iii)(1) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act states: "No period of time in which an alien is under 18 years of age shall be taken into account in determining the period of unlawful presence in the United States," meaning you can return to your mother patria, obtain a visa, and come back to los Estados Unidos in, oh, about 10 years. (Where else can you find such a crucial, relevant bit of information for millions filed away as a clause to the subparagraph of a paragraph in the subsection of a section's article except in the U.S. Code?) And it's not an innate Mexican trait to break immigration law-as I've said before, put any poor country next to a rich one; add historical symbiosis, Manifest Destiny, and saber rattling; mix in a dash of globalized ec...
