• concluding that a post-entry adjustment of status constitutes an “admission” for purposes of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii)
• concluding that in such circumstance date of adjustment qualifies as \date of admission\
• noting that Congress would not create a loophole to removability for aliens who entered without inspection and were later convicted of an aggravated felony after adjusting status
• expressing disbelief that Congress “would create a loophole in the removal laws” to benefit unlawful entrants who committed aggravated felonies
• rejecting port-of-entry definition because otherwise the law would create “a loophole in the removal laws for [immigrants] who enter the country without inspection”
• rejecting argument that alien who adjusted to lawful status after illegal entry was never admitted for purposes of § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii)
