Are there any Buffistas who know about immigration law?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I know about student visas, tommy, if that is helpful, but almost nothing else.

I have some completely hypothetical questions (for a possible story)....
If you're a non-US citizen in the US, you are guaranteed certain rights based on your country of residence, right? What about a non-US citizen in the US who has no country of residence? I mean, like no country, ever.
Only a US citizen can have a US passport, right? Let's say a certain agency of the US govt. wants to give a non-US citizen permission to enter the US (what a passport does) and this person has no country of residence to give her a passport - could she enter the US legally if the govt. gave her some passport-like document to present? (eta: Or could the govt. just give her a passport to the US anyway, even though she's not a citizen?)
(I said completely hypothetical, right?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gnarrgh. Took new pain meds this morning and they made me so unintelligible I had to skip my massage--I tried to compose a response text message to my masseuse, and, well, crazy talk. At least I could tell. I sure hope I didn't post here.
Tried a new pizza place just now. Quite tasty! And cheap. Thumbs up to Maria.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hmm. Now there's a tornado in the northern suburbs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Did the new meds work on the pain, at least, ita?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Crap. There was a huge crack of thunder just a second ago and I literally jumped. Owen looked up with huge eyes and said, "Somebody's roaring."
ita, I hope you got a little pain relief along with the incoherence.

Yes, I think there is something they can do yes. One of my best friends from prep school fled Iran just before the revolution. I'm pretty sure she didn't still have an Iranian passport at one point and the US hadn't yet granted her political asylum because I remember her getting that paperwork (which still wasn't a US passport I'm pretty sure). And yet she was able to come to school here from Paris. I think she needed the political asylum thing to stay post-school though.

I like Typo's mom.
Stephanie has worked in immigration law, I think.
