Border Patrol Entrance Exam Prep

Category - Border Patrol Entrance

If a non-immigrant alien (for example, a tourist) enters the United States illegally or enters legally but violates his or her non-immigrant status, the alien is considered to be an undocumented alien. If an alien accepts unauthorized employment, remains longer than permitted, or commits one of several other violations, the alien has violated his or her nonimmigrant status. Some of these undocumented aliens purchase counterfeit documents or assume another person’s identity by using fraudulently obtained genuine documents. R.G. is a non-immigrant alien who is living in the United States.
  1. If R.G. is an undocumented alien, then R.G. must have entered the United States illegally
  2. If R.G. has violated non-immigrant status but has not remained in the United States longer than permitted, then R.G. has accepted unauthorized employment
  3. If R.G. has not remained in the United States longer than permitted, R.G. is not an undocumented alien
  4. If R.G. is an undocumented alien, then R.G. entered the United States legally
  5. If R.G. is not an undocumented alien, then R.G. has not accepted unauthorized employment
Explanation
Answer: E - Based on the information in the first sentence, if R.G. is not an undocumented alien, then R.G. has not violated his/her nonimmigrant status. Based on the information in the second sentence, if R.G. has not violated his/her non-immigrant status, then R.G. has not accepted unauthorized employment. Therefore, if R.G. is not an undocumented alien, the R.G. has not accepted unauthorized employment, Response E.

Responses A and D are invalid because it cannot be determined whether or not R.G. entered the United States illegally based only on the information that R.G. is an undocumented alien because R.G. may have violated his/her non-immigrant status. Response C is invalid because R.G. may be an undocumented alien for several different reasons even if R.G. did not remain in the United States longer than permitted. Likewise, Response B is invalid because R.G. could have committed a violation other than accepting unauthorized employment that resulted in violation of non-immigrant status.
