Blanche v. Lau · ¶36

Lau also suggests that the Second Circuit did not go far enough: A lawful permanent resident may be regarded as seeking admission, he argues, only after being convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude. Brief for Respondent 31, 45–46; see also Brief for Immigration Law Professors as Amici Curiae 9; but see 130 F. 4th, at 47 (rejecting this argument). He cites this Court’s footnoted dictum that the phrase “committed an offense identified in section 1182(a)(2),” §1101(a)(13)(C)(v), “appears to advert to a lawful permanent resident who has been convicted of an offense under §1182(a)(2) (or admits to one),” Vartelas v. Holder, 566 U. S. 257, 275, n. 11 (2012). Brief for Respondent 31, 45.
