(U.S. GOVERNMENT) successor to the investigations and processing arm of the former Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) of the USA. In 2003, the INS was dissolved and its enforcement arm transferred to the new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The INS had formerly been part of the Justice Department; the CIS is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The CIS is responsible for incarcerating hundreds of thousands of people each year, mostly for petty paperwork filing errors or traffic stops.
She spent months struggling with the wretched, burned-out bureaucracy of the Citizenship and Immigration Services, wondering how anyone could enter the country legally without violating the laws of physics.

Immigration Sex

Share definition
The act of moving from one place to another during sexual intercourse mid-session. Immigration sex is a great way for men to last longer, a nice change of pace, and preventing rugburn of the knees/ass.
Jess: I'm inventive. We started our immigration sex in the shower once and ended up in the bed.

Me: Orly? Did being all wet make you slip on the way to the bed?

Jess: Yeah it did, but as we slipped his dong landed right in my vag, definitely crossing my border.

Me: Were you okay with that? Some girls I know are against border hoppers.

Jess: Oh yeah, immigration sex definitely improved this country. ;)

(US GOVERNMENT) Former agency of the US government responsible for the enforcement of immigration law, and the processing of visa/permit requests. After the attacks of 11 September 2001, Congress passed a bill creating the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); the INS was split up into its enforcement functions (which became part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its processing functions (Citizenship and Immigration Services, or CIS).

Prior to its dissolution in 2003, the INS was part of the Department of Justice. The CIS and ICE are both part of the DHS.
Because of its extraordinary power over the lives of millions of US nationals and residents, the Immigration and Naturalization Service gained lasting notoriety. Seven years after it was superseded by the CIS, most people associated visa regulations with the INS.

"Brother from Another Planet" was a brilliant parody of INS agent behavior.

Phrase used to describe immigration reform that provides an equal opportunity for any illegal with a clean record to win their American citizenship. One convicted felon is removed from the prison system, and with feet and hands bound, strung up at the town square. A small group of illegal immigrants are provided a set of golf clubs to choose from, are blindfolded and the fun begins.
Illegals wielding a wood or driver are given 2 swings, while iron club users get 1 swing before moving to the next participant. The wetback that delivers the deathblow is granted American citizenship. The general public is encouraged to gather round and enjoy the festivities.
Juan: I can’t wait for my chance to become an American. I’ve been practice swinging down at the range all week!
Carlos: Yes señor Juan, I too have dreamed of this day of Piñata Immigration Reform! Town square is decorated nicely and will be quite the fiesta today!
