cjrl-2272	Ferguson, Robert A.	The Immigrant Plight/Immigration Law: A Study in Intractability	2012	26	.pdf	application/pdf	17253	745	54	We have, first, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is to keep people out; second, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is to restrict entry to the country to legal immigrants; and third, the Bureau of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which controls the transformation from registered legal alien to citizen while making it impossible for an illegal alien to gain that status. Immigration law forbids an illegal alien from seeking legal status, much less citizenship.41 Roughly twelve million illegal immigrants, many of whom know only the United States as their home, live without access to the opportunities that the country offers to citizens and legal immigrants, and even more draconian restrictions are on the way.	cache/cjrl-2272.pdf	txt/cjrl-2272.txt
