The proviso contained in section 2 of the present Immigration bill. intended to admit into the United States persons who had actually been convicted of an offense purely political. not involving moral turpitude.

Castro. the former President of Venezuela. though charged with murder committed in the course of one of the numerous revolutions In which he was a participant. and Millus. who had been convicted of publishing a libel on the King of England. were entitled to admission.
