据MSN网站4月12日报道 唐纳德·川普政府近期宣布，美国境内的所有移民，包括持有合法工作或学生签证者，必须全天候随身携带其合法身份的相关证明文件。这一新规的执行，源于美国法院批准实施一项颇具争议性的政策，要求无证移民向政府登记并携带相关证件。

该规定作为川普总统“保护美国人民免受外来威胁”行政命令的一部分，已于4月11日正式生效。此举是川普政府打击无证移民、加快驱逐无合法居留身份人员进程的一系列措施中的最新一项。
新规所依据的，是1940年通过的《外国人登记法》（Alien Registration Act）。虽然该法早已要求所有移民在美登记，但长期以来执行并不一致。如今，政府计划对此法规进行严格落实。
谁必须登记？合法移民是否包括在内？
新规的核心目标是非法或无证移民。具体而言，所有在美国停留30天以上、年满14岁的非公民，必须填写“G-325R表格”进行登记；14岁以下的非公民则需由其父母代为登记。
此外，4月11日及之后入境的人员，须在抵达美国30天内完成登记。若违反规定，可能面临罚款、监禁，或双重处罚。
如若更换住址，必须在10天内向政府报告，否则最高可被罚款5,000美元。
移民子女年满14岁后，也必须在30天内重新登记并提交指纹信息。
H1-B签证持有者与绿卡居民需注意事项
对于持有合法签证（包括工作签证H1-B或学生签证）以及绿卡的移民，政府视其为已完成登记，无需再次提交表格。因此，许多持H1-B签证的技术人员和留学生将不受登记义务限制。
但需要注意的是，所有18岁及以上的非公民，必须随身携带有效身份证明文件。移民官员有权随时查验，如无法出示，可能面临执法后果。
美国国土安全部（DHS）已被指示优先执行这一规定。国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）在声明中表示：“不遵守新规者将无法获得庇护。”
登记是否意味着可以合法留美？
并非如此。国土安全部明确指出，登记的主要目的是让政府掌握在美非公民的基本信息。若当事人无法提供合法居留证明，政府仍将依法采取遣返措施。
“G-325R”表格中要求填写住址、家庭成员信息、移民身份及其他个人资料。申请人还需申报是否曾涉及刑事犯罪，政府将根据所提供的信息决定是否提出指控。
