Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he Act's favorable treatment of aliens granted lawful permanent resident status does not suggest that aliens granted any lesser immigration status should be deemed to have been "admitted" by virtue of obtaining that lesser status while present in the United States. Such a conclusion would effectively redact the words "entry of the alien into the United States after" from the definition of "admission" in section 101(a)(13)(A) of the Act.”
