Mr. Chairman. a few moments ago my colleague from Illinois called the attention of the committee to the provision which gives the judge the right of recommendation as to whether or not a man so sentenced should be deported. The provision reads: Provided further. That the provision of this section respecting the deportation of aliens convicted of a crime Involving moral turpitude shall not apply to one who has been pardoned. nor shall such deportation be made or directed if the court sentencing such alien for suclh crime shall. at the time of imposing judgment or passing sentence.. make a recommendation to the Secretary of Labor that such alien shall not be deported In pursuance of this act .-nor shall any alien convicted as aforesaid be deported until after the termination of his imprisonmen t. I am trying to perfect the amendment. I have had no chance to talk to the chairman of the committee about the amendment. but I am trying to give the court jurisdiction so that it call. at any time after imposing judgment. make a recom mendation that the alienbe not deported. I believe this is a fair amendment. Frequently during the trial of a case the judge may omit or forget to make a recommendation. and thereby the alien may be deprived of the provisions of this act and of the benefits which we are trying to give him.
