From the introduction:

“Although not a conviction for immigration purposes, a delinquency adjudication still can create problems for immigrants.

The following are commonly applied conduct-based grounds of inadmissibility and/or deportability and the juvenile court dispositions that might provide the government with evidence that the person comes within the ground.”
