(B) ** False

EXPLANATIONS BELOW

Concept note-1: -Asylum-seekers who cross the border illegally to be deported under new Biden administration rule. The new rule is designed to push migrants to seek asylum at official border crossings or through other legal channels rather than crossing the border illegally and then requesting asylum.

Concept note-2: -Current immigration policy offers two distinct ways for noncitizens to enter the United States lawfully: perma-nent (or immigrant) admission and temporary (or non-immigrant) admission. People granted permanent admis-sion are formally classified as lawful permanent residents (LPRs) and receive a green card.

Concept note-3: -In 1986, Congress enacted another major law – the Immigration Reform and Control Act – that granted legalization to millions of unauthorized immigrants, mainly from Latin America, who met certain conditions. The law also imposed sanctions on employers who hired unauthorized immigrants.
