Section 212(a)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act creates a number of grounds of inadmissibility related to immigration violations, many of which were added in 1996 as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.

Under the new INA §212(a)(6)(C)(ii), any alien who falsely represents, or has falsely represented, himself or herself to be a citizen of the United States for any purpose or benefit under the INA or any other Federal or State law is excludable.
