245(i)is part of section 245. What are you talking about. 245(i) doesnt mean illegals, it means subsection i under section 245. Again proof?

That's a fallacy of False Distinction.

Once again...

Section 245 of the Act allows an alien to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) while in the United States if certain conditions are met. The alien must have been inspected and admitted or paroled, be eligible for an immigrant visa and admissible for permanent residence, and, with some exceptions, have maintained lawful nonimmigrant status. The alien must also not have engaged in unauthorized employment. Section 245(i) of the Act allows an alien to apply to adjust status under section 245 notwithstanding the fact that he or she entered without inspection, overstayed, or worked without authorization.
LINK.

You're correct, 245(i) is a subsection of 245. It's the subsection that applies to certain Illegals.

Ignoring proof is not synonymous with proving the contrary.

Your link doesnt work. This doesnt sound like legislative language. Is this from 245(i) or is it someones summary?

I dont know what you're getting upset over. Inspection to me is a medical inspection that you get when you immigrate to this country and go through the Ellis Island type experience. If you are here on a work or student visa I dont think you go through that, therefore you havent been inspected. It doesnt mean you entered the country illegally by swimming the Rio Grande. Overstaying your visa because the INS didnt complete work on your application for change in status before your visa expires is a poor reason to call someone a criminal. As is telling someone that they are an illegal if they got paid for baby sitting one afternoon.
