Oh. his act would still be a judicial act. and if a man has not strong enough moral fiber to resist that sort of pressure. he ought not to be a judge. My belief about most of the judges of our country is that they are not improperly swayed by pressure. and I do believe that a judge has a right and ought to have a right under this somewhat severe provision to have all of the facts presented to him and act on the facts. just as a governor acts in relation to a pardon case. A judge sentencing a mail for a felony may not know of the existence of this Federal statute. A man might come around in 48 hours afterwards and say. "This man that you have sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for felony will at the expiration of that time be deported." and the judge will say. "That is too bad. that ought not to be". and then the reply would be. "Well. you have the right to stop that by recommendation "-
