Summary:
The basic United States law governing immigration and naturalization is
contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C.
1101 -- et seq.). This report provides questions and answers to explain
the way in which the Immigration and Nationality Act as amended through
1981 regulates the entry of aliens for permanent and temporary residence in the
United States, and other major provisions of the law. Emphasis is placed on
subjects which have been of particular interest to the Congress in recent years.
This supersedes CRS Report No. 81-65 EPW.
