Immigration Legislation and Regulation

Immigration legislation and regulation refer to the laws and rules created by governments to manage the entry, stay, and status of non-citizens. In the context of immigration administrative law, this includes statutes passed by legislatures (like Congress) and detailed regulations set by agencies (like the Department of Homeland Security in the U.S.). These laws govern visas, asylum, deportation, and citizenship processes, ensuring that immigration is orderly and lawful. They also provide guidelines for how immigration authorities must operate, protecting the rights of individuals while upholding national security and public interest.
