It's a euphemism for "entered legally."
Proof? Read the legislation and the pertinent INS definitions of those who fall under Section 245(i). They're Illegals.
Legal foreign nationals fall under Section 245.
Huh? 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?
