Hi jessejames,
"Will the warrant show up in the immigration computer and will this
result in either arrest or deportation."
Yes, outstanding arrest warrants show up, and if there is a warrant
out for your arrest, you will be arrested (INS inspectors have the
authority to make arrests).
The Inspection Process:
The primary inspection process:
"When aliens disembark from an airplane, they initially go through the
primary inspection process. The primary inspection area is staffed by
inspectors who ensure that the I-94 form (Arrival/Departure Record) 15
is complete, legible, and contains current information; briefly
interview aliens to determine the purpose of their visit and the
proposed length of stay; and check documents presented to determine
their authenticity as well as expiration dates. The inspector looks at
the I-94, visa, and passport, as well as any other documents that
should be presented (such as an I-20), in order to determine if these
documents are valid, authentic, and complete. The inspector may also
review the passport for the last exits and entries to the United
States to see if the aliens overstayed their previous authorized
admissions."
"If the passport contains a machine-readable visa or encoding on a
passport's biographical page, the inspector swipes the passport
through an automated reader. This initiates a number of automated
checks in the Interagency Border Information System (IBIS), which
contains "lookout" databases maintained by the U.S. Customs Service;
the State Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; the
Drug Enforcement Administration; the Royal Canadian Mounted Police;
and other law enforcement agencies. It also includes warrants and
arrests from the FBI's National Crime Information Center database
(NCIC) and lookouts posted in the INS's National Automated Immigration
Lookout System (NAILS)."
"If the primary inspector determines that the alien is subject to a
"hit" in the computer databases or does not have a valid passport or
visa, the primary inspector should refer the person to "secondary
inspection" for further interview and review by a secondary inspector.
The primary inspector does not have the authority to deny the alien's
entry. Rather, the primary inspector's job is to process people as
quickly as possible and to refer them to secondary inspection if there
is any concern about their admissibility. Primary inspectors are
expected to spend no more than 45 to 60 seconds on average with each
passenger."
The secondary inspection process:
"At major POEs, the secondary inspection area is typically staffed by
one or two senior immigration inspectors, a supervisory inspector, and
several experienced inspectors. The secondary inspector re-interviews
the alien, reviews his or her documentation, and runs additional
computer checks. The secondary inspector has access not only to IBIS
and other law enforcement databases but also to several additional INS
databases, including the INS's Central Index System (which shows
whether the INS has an alien file (A-file) on the person), NIIS, STSC,
22 and CLAIMS."
"The secondary inspector may determine that the person should not be
admitted and that "adverse action" is warranted. Adverse action
generally means removal or exclusion based on a violation of the INA
or other federal statutes. The secondary inspector must get approval
from a supervisor prior to taking adverse action."
