The “T” visa, which provides temporary and potential lawful permanent resident status to victims of alien trafficking, was added to the INA as a part of the 2000 Violence Against Women Act, effective October 28, 2000.[340]  All grounds of inadmissibility except for the terrorist grounds are waivable, although the DHS imposes high burdens in waiving some criminal convictions.[341]  For more information, see N Tooby & J. Rollin, Criminal Defense of Immigrants § 24.16 (4th Ed. 2007).
