Criminal Aliens

"Preventing the admission of criminals has long been a concern to the public and policy makers. Even in the colonial period, there were laws against the arrival of criminals. Laws barring admission to the United States for those who have committed certain crimes remain in force today."
- Jessica Vaughan, Director of Policy Studies at CIS
