Fail to Report Address Change: Do Not Pass Go
INS says foreigners must report changing their address within ten days or risk fines, jail and deportation.
It's a 50 year old law that has rarely been enforced but applies to all residents here legally who are not citizens--all ten million plus of them over the age of 14.
Considering the INS has routinely been accused of losing paperwork, we wonder who is going to process all these change of address forms.
It's an oppressive requirement likely to tear more families apart, like that of Thar Abdeljabera who we told you about in Fairness Be Damned
Denyse Sabagh, an immigration lawyer in Washington, says it best in an LA Times article today: "To put somebody in deportation proceedings for failing to report a change of address is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a fly."
