Where do you guys come up with these nonsense?
The 10 year BAN refers to the "get tough" stance of the 1996 immigration law that was passed which among other things said Illegal aliens with six to 12 months of unlawful presence are barred for three years; those here for more than a year illegally are barred for 10 years.
In other words, 1996 dropped the gauntlet and said "Hey you illegals! This is your last warning. Get the hell out of the US now on your own and we'll let you leave without a penalty, but if we catch you and throw your ass out, if you've been here for less than a year we'll ban you for 3 years or otherwise we ban you for 10 years before ever being able to come here".
