Blanche v. Lau · ¶26

A lawful permanent resident who has “committed an offense identified in section 1182(a)(2)” may “be regarded as seeking an admission.” § 1101(a)(13)(C)(v). Section 1182(a)(2), in turn, identifes any “crime involving moral turpitude.” § 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(I). Putting the provisions together, if a lawful permanent resident has committed a crime involving moral turpitude, he may be regarded as seeking admission. And, because he is seeking admission, he “may be charged with any applicable ground of inadmissibility under section 1182(a),” § 1229a(a)(2), including being convicted of or admitting to “a crime involving moral turpitude,” § 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(I).
