What is the “one-year bar”?

The “one-year bar” is a legal concept in the field of Immigration Law as it relates to deportation in Arizona. This bar essentially acts as a one-year waiting period for individuals who have been deported from certain countries or who have willfully failed to appear in court. The bar applies to those who have been removed or deported from the United States for any reason within the past 12 months. This means that if they were deported, they cannot be readmitted into the United States for at least a year after their removal. This rule is in place to ensure that the individuals are not immediately returning to the country, as they could have a potential security risk. It also serves as a deterrent for individuals seeking to illegally immigrate to the United States. In the event that the individual is found to be in the country illegally, they are subject to deportation and potentially banned from re-entry for a period of time. The length of the ban is dependent on the severity of the violation and can range from six months to five years or longer. In extreme cases, the individual could be banned from re-entering the United States for life.

La llamada "barra de un año" es una ley de inmigración que se aplica en el estado de Arizona. Esta barra hace referencia a una ley que prohíbe que alguien que haya sido deportado por hacer algo ilegal (o incluso alguien que haya dejado el país por su propia voluntad) vuelva a entrar a los Estados Unidos durante al menos un año. Esto significa que si una persona ha sido deportada por alguna infracción en el pasado, no podrá volver a entrar a los Estados Unidos hasta que haya pasado por lo menos un año desde su deportación inicial. Esta barra fue establecida para que las personas que sean deportadas no vuelvan inmediatamente a cometer infracciones. Dado que la deportación es una sanción drástica, esta ley pretende disuadir a la gente de hacer cosas ilegales que les llevarían a ser expulsadas del país.
