Answer: What is Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act mean?

The Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994 (or H. R. 783) was an act by the United States Congress "to amend title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act to make changes in the laws relating to nationality and naturalization." The act amended the Immigration and Nationality Act by allowing to provide for the acquisition of United States citizenship from either parent for persons born abroad to parents, only one of whom is a United States citizen.

The act was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, who said in his signing statement that act would correct the injustice towards persons born outside of the United States, and only one of whose parents was a United States citizen. Prior to the act, such persons could only acquire citizenship if that parent was the father. The act amended this condition to allow acquisition of US citizenship when either of the parents was a US citizen. The act also added additional weapons offenses, some theft and burglary offenses, prostitution, tax evasion, and certain categories of fraud to the definition of aggravated felonies, under which non-citizens were subject to deportation.
