Does it matter? They are rarely enforced. This is why America is going down the drain.

well, there are hundreds of immigration laws, and they are quite involved. i know a little bit from experience, although i am no legal expert. it is too simplistic a question. Incidentally, anyone who has an opinion on immigration in general should be well informed on the law and international socioeconomics, or else the opinion will naturally be ignorant.
for specific current laws, y don't u go to the dept of homeland security website?
good luck.
