IMMIGRATION LAW—THIS LAND IS MY LAND, OR IS IT?: STATUTES OF LIMITATION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT

Authors

Lisa Marquardt

Abstract

This Article proposes a unique perspective on the problem of the undocumented population within the borders of the United States. It seeks to reframe the immigration discussion from one that maligns the undocumented as criminals to one that identifies them as simple trespassers who are entitled to a defense based on a statute of limitations. The Author’s point of view is from her experience as an immigration law and criminal defense practitioner.
