Legal restrictions
Prior to 1990, unlawful arrivals were detained at local police stations and given a hearing in front of the Immigration Review Board of Ainin. A significant portion, recent studies have found that up to 40%, of refugee claimants are granted some sort of legal status. However, due to a massive wave of immigration from Nautarya after 1982, the system was flooded with claimants and many sans-papiers (undocumented immigrants) were implicitly allowed to stay by many law enforcement agencies because detention centres were full and the system was breaking down.
This changed in 1990 when voters enacted the 24th Amendment, which revoked the mobility rights and entitlement to a judicial hearing of illegal aliens. Since 1990, illegal immigrants found in Aininian territorial waters or on land are arrested and interned at one of eight "megacentres" in Southern Ainin. There they are given an Order to Depart the Aininian Republic (Obligation de quitter la République aininienne), which will result in automatic deportation in 15 days. While in administrative detention, illegal aliens may file a refugee claim that will be examined by an immigration judge within 5 business days. Cases judged valid will have their orders rescinded and will instead be scheduled for a hearing before a refugee board. Only an estimated 8% of refugee claims are accepted.
The hearing further weeds out claimants, who are promptly deported if their case is rejected. Only around 2% of illegal aliens obtain probationary refugee status, and any probationary refugee can have their refugee status cancelled by Immigration and Customs Security if they commit any crime within two years of their admission into Ainin.
