Mr. Chairman. this is one of the sections of the bill which provides for the deportation of aliens who have actually been admitted into the United States. This particular. section provides for the deportation of aliens who have committed offenses involving moral turpitude. The proviso that I desire to amend is this: Any alien who is hereafter sentenced to imprisonment for a term of one year or more because of conviction in this country of a crime involving moral turpitude committed within five years after the entry of this alien. My amendment provides that after a second offense committed by such an alien. or where he has been for the second time convicted. the fiveyear limitation should not apply. In other words. even though he may have been residing in the United States for five years or more. if he is for the second time convicted of any offense or crime involving moral turpitude. he should be deported. The provisions in this act covering the majority of cases place the limitation at five years. A little later on. after the adoption of this amendment.
