United States Sixth Circuit

A Colombian citizen's petition for review of a decision of the BIA finding him ineligible for relief from removal is denied as the explicit reference to section 1324a in section 1227(a)(3)(D) makes it clear that private employment is a "purpose or benefit" under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and as such, a false representation of citizenship by an alien for the purpose of obtaining private employment is a "purpose or benefit" under the Act, done, at the very least, for the "purpose" of evading section 1324a's provisions.
