Immigration settles amnesty lawsuit

Ending a 20 year long legal battle, Immigration finally agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit regarding amnesty applicants who entered the US legally but then overstayed their visas or violated the terms of their visas. Immigration had placed the burden on the amnesty applicant to prove that their illegal status was now"known to the government". Immigration will now presume that the government knew about their violations because schools were legally required to send the notices of violation of student visa status to Immigration. This settlement will open the doors to permanent residents to tens of thousands of people.
