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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[0]ur immigration laws have long made a distinction between those aliens who have come to our shores seeking admission ... and those who are in the United States after an entry, irrespective of its legality,” the Supreme Court said in Leng May Ma v. Barber, 357 U.S. 185, 187 , 78 S.Ct. 1072, 1073 , 2 L.Ed.2d 1246 (1958). As the Court noted, the distinction was “carefully preserved” in the Immigration and Nationality Act. Those seeking admission or readmission are subject to "exclusion proceedings” to determine whether "they shall be allowed to enter or shall be excluded or deported”. 8 U.S.C. § 1226 (a). On the other hand, aliens who have already entered the United States are subject to "expulsion” through deportation procedures, as distinguished from "exclusion,” if they fall within certain "general classes of deportable aliens.” 8 U.S.C. § 1251 .”
