Immigration to the United States has always existed. The immigration papers are needed only to enter the country. As long as you are within the United States' boundaries, then this should be all that is necessary.
There are several different types of immigration.
A lot of immigration terms are used in everyday life.
The term "immigration" describes the movement or migration of people from one country or location to another, during which they are not native. Immigration is often related to one's legal status in a country where one was not born. This may be due to the need for protection, asylum, or the pursuit of better living conditions.
Many pre-World War II immigration terms are now considered offensive. Some immigration terms that were formerly acceptable include:
"Alien" and "illegal alien" (these labels often carry xenophobic and racist connotations)
"Illegal immigration" (this label implies that immigration is illegal by its very nature, rather than due to extenuating circumstances)
"Escapee" (this immigration term is dehumanizing, as it diminishes the subject's agency and implies that they are simply running away from something). Since immigration has become a global issue, immigration terms have come into usage around the world. One of the most common immigration terms used is "refugee," a person forced to leave their country to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.
The term "humanitarian migrant" has been used by the UNHCR since 2009, and it refers to migrants who cross international borders away from their home countries due to extreme duress. A notable example is the Rohingya Muslims in Burma, who have been forced to flee due to violent clashes with native Buddhists.
"Economic migrant" is a label that has come into usage in the past fifty years. This immigration term describes people who leave their home country for economic opportunity rather than personal safety. It is important to note that immigration has, historically speaking, occurred for economic reasons (including the infamous Trail of Tears).
Some immigration terms are more specific to time and place. For example, in Australia, immigration refers to physical immigration into Australia by foreigners and immigration into the Australian State of New South Wales.
Another immigration term used is "guest worker," for example, in Germany, to denote foreign workers brought into the country mainly during the 1960s and 1970s.
Some immigration terms are immigration policies, such as "refugee immigration" or "immigration reform." Although immigration policies vary from country to country, immigration policy generally tries to address three issues:
how immigration should be regulated in a country
the conditions under which immigration is allowed
how immigration will affect a country's economy and culture. These issues have been particularly prominent in recent immigration debates, such as those around guest worker programs and immigration reform in the United States.
More specific immigration terms may include "visa" or "border crossing card." A "visa" is a legal immigration document that allows its holder to enter or leave a country. Most visas are time-limited and must be periodically renewed.
An immigration term such as "border crossing cards," on the other hand, refers to immigration documents that do not require official immigration status. For example, Mexican immigration documents such as the Border Crossing Card for Mexicans living in border areas and the U.S. Virgin Islands permit their holders to cross back and forth between these two countries in place of immigration visas.
The immigration term "amnesty" refers to the legal process by which immigration status is made lawful and the immigration policy of a country in which immigration is made lawful for a specific period.
An immigration term such as "immigration reform," on the other hand, refers to policy changes, not just legal processes. Note that immigration reforms are often hotly contested in Congress.
