Christopher Adams is a practicing Immigration lawyer in Washington DC
will shade some light on immigration statistics for the year 2005
concerning our Moroccan community in the USA. The U.S. Government
supplied these statistics.
Compared to other
ethnic groups, the Moroccan community in the US is steadily improving.

citizens in 2005 .

2005.
3. 18,721
Moroccans came to the USA in 2005 with a nonimmigrant admission (I-94
only.)
(compare this with 26,002 in 1999 and 26,870 in 2000.)
4. 14,093
Moroccans came to the USA as tourists in 2005 (except visa waiver.)
.

French citizen, comes to the US with a European Union [French]
passport)
14.
93 Moroccans
were formally removed in year 2005. (40 for criminal status plus 53
for non-criminal status = total: 93)
(We may see some
improvement if we compare this to 2004 where 44 were formally removed
for criminal status and 69 for non-criminal. Thus, a total of 113.)
15. 278
Moroccans were deportable in year 2005. “Deportable” means that
“subject to deportation.” (This number is somehow slightly low
compared to other groups such as Jordan with 309 and Egypt with 291.)
