That sentence, in plain words

The words in this part carry set meanings. An older immigration law gives them.

What this is about

That law is the Immigration and Nationality Act. A reference to a section means one in it. That is unless the text says otherwise.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
