H. R. 5573. That bill provided that at any time after entry the alien is convicted of an offense which may be punished by imprisonment for a year or more. or of a crime involving moral turpitude that he should be deported. whether imprisoned or not. Under the bill H. R. 6391. which we have before us today. we find the provision that the alien must hereafter be convicted in the United States within 5 years of the institution of deportation proceedings against him of a crime involving moral turpitude for which the alien is committed to an institution as a result of such conviction. in other words. the present bill requires that the crime must have been committed after the enactment of this act. regardless of what that crime was. That is point number 1. Number 2: The crime must have been committed in the United States.
