Song about U.S. Grounds of Inadmissibility on YouTube

An amusing YouTube video is currently going viral on the Internet. The video shows an individual singing the questions that typically appear on USCBP/USCIS/DOS forms and which are intended to determine whether you are legally inadmissible to the United States.

I feel the need to clarify that these questions do not actually appear on the Customs Declaration Form, as is suggested by some individuals. A sample image of the declaration form appears here; the questions are nowhere to be found on this form.

On the other hand, some or all of these inadmissibility questions appear on Form I-94Ws used by aliens entering the United States under the visa waiver program, Forms DS-156 and DS-160 used by DOS in nonimmigrant visa applications, Form DS-230 Part 1 used by DOS in immigrant visa applications, and on the Form I-485 adjustment of status application used by USCIS in permanent residence applications. As a result, these questions may be surprising to United States citizens, who complete the Customs Declaration Form each time they enter the United States but who will probably never see the above USCBP/USCIS/DOS forms.

The YouTube video appears here.
