A quick definition of Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act:

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) is a law that made U.S. immigration laws stronger. It made it harder for people who are not supposed to be in the U.S. to stay here. The law also made it easier to deport people who commit crimes while in the U.S. or who stay here for too long. The law also added rules for people who want to ask for protection in the U.S. called asylum. If someone is in the U.S. illegally for a certain amount of time, they may have to leave the U.S. for a long time before they can come back. The law was made to help control who comes into the U.S. and to make sure people follow the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) is a law that made U.S. immigration laws stronger. It increased the punishment for undocumented immigrants who commit crimes while in the United States or who stay in the U.S. for a certain amount of time. The law was created to improve border controls and make it easier to deport people who are in the country illegally.

For example, the law made it a crime to smuggle undocumented people into the United States or to create fake immigration documents. It also allows for the deportation of undocumented immigrants who commit a misdemeanor or a felony. The law also added restrictions on applying for asylum, such as requiring a petition for asylum to be made within a year of arriving in the U.S.

The law also has consequences for undocumented immigrants who have been in the U.S. for a certain amount of time. If they have been in the U.S. for 180 days but less than a year, they must leave the country for three years unless they are pardoned. If they have been in the U.S. for a year or more, they must leave the country for ten years unless they obtain a waiver. If they come back to the U.S. without a pardon, they must wait ten years before they can apply for a waiver.

Overall, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 made it harder for undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States and increased the punishment for those who commit crimes while in the country.
