Blanche v. Lau · ¶12

Because lawful permanent residents generally must be regarded as already admitted to the country, they usually do not have to reapply for admission when they return from temporary overseas travel. § 1101(a)(13)(C). But, under an exception central to this case, the Government may regard a lawful permanent resident as “seeking an admission” (and thus as not already admitted) if he “has committed an offense identified in section 1182(a)(2),” § 1101(a)(13)(C)(v), including a crime involving moral turpitude, § 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(I).
