INADMISSIBILITY - ILLEGAL VOTING
The unlawful voting ground of inadmissibility was added by IIRAIRA, and the government claims it has retroactive effect, at least for purposes of INA 212(a)(10)(D). See 9 FAM 40.104. The retroactive effect may also be claimed to apply to the unlawful voting ground of deportation under INA 237(a)(6). Concerning the required knowledge and intent, see McDonald v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 684 (9th Cir. Feb. 7, 2005). See also Yates (5/7/02) memo concerning unlawful voting and naturalization. No. 05030768. Thanks to D. Jackson Chaney.
