EOIR director Kevin Rooney summarized the plethora of appeal options available to all aliens — even criminal aliens — in his February 2002 testimony to Congress: "Even if an alien is removable, he or she may file an application for relief from removal, such as asylum, voluntary departure, suspension of deportation, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, registry or a waiver of inadmissibility."16 What does all this bureaucratic jargon spell? Delay, delay, delay. Each of the loopholes enumerated by Rooney is written into the Immigration and Nationality Act. If an alien loses a BIA judgment, he can then seek relief in the federal circuit courts of appeal.
Amazing how these clowns always seem to be lawyered up the wazoo no matter how poor and destitute they are. Immigration lawyers are about the greediest and the lowest. These days you get immigration lawyers who aren't even Americans. They are Hindu, Pakistani or Mexican or whatever and are now immigration lawyers to help their illegal alien countrymen overcome all obstacles to remain here. And line their own pockets of course.
