That. of course. is customary in criminal statutes. Offenses are punishable by a fine of not more than $10.000. or imprisonment for not more than 10 years. or both. within the discretion of the court. Title II amends the immigration laws with reference to the deportation of aliens. It does not repeal existing law. but superadds and superimposes additional provisions on existing law. It provides that any alien of the classes specified shall. upon warrant of the Attorney General. be taken into custody and deported. The classes of aliens specified are the following: Any alien who. at any time within 5 years after entry. shall have. knowingly and for gain. encouraged. induced. assisted. abetted. or aided any other alien to enter or to try to enter the United States in violation of law. It must be for gain. If a father should be found guilty of slipping into the country. his son. his wife. or another member of his family. he would not come within the prohibition. but If an alien should sell a passport to another man. and the other man should enter the country on it. the alien would be guilty. and would be deportable. Any alien who. at any time after entry. shall have on more than one occasion. knowingly and for gain. encouraged. induced. assisted. abetted. or aided any other alien or aliens to enter or to try to enter the United States in violation of law. In other words. if. on account of love and affection. an alien should commit the offense once. he would not be liable. but if he should do it the second time he would be liable to deportation. Any alien who. after entry. shall have been convicted of possessing or carrying. in violation of law. any weapon which shoots or is designed to shoot automatically or semiautomatically. such as sawedoff shotguns. automatic machine guns. and things of that kind. Any alien who. at any time within 5 years after entry. shall have been convicted of violating the Alien Registration Act. Any alien who. at any time after entry. shall have been convicted more than once of violating the provisions of title I of the Alien Registration Act. That is the proposed act. The bill provides that no alien who is deportable under the provisions of paragraphs 3. 4. or 5 of subsection (b) of section 20 shall be deported until the termination of his imprisonment. or the entry of an order releasing him on probation or parole. Those are substantially the changes in the deportation law.
