As I read that section. the words in it are as follows: "willfully or knowingly"-I emphasize the words "willfully and knowingly"-"willfully or knowingly encourages or induces. or attempts to encourage or Induce. either directly or indirectly. the entry into the United States of any alien. including an alien seaman. not duly admitted by an immigration officer or not lawfully entitled to enter or reside within the United States under the terms of this act." and so forth. One who comes within that description shall be deemed guilty of a felony. The provision starting in line 18 it seems to me nullifies the other language. A man does not subject himself to any penalty unless it can be shown that he has willfully or knowingly induced the admission or entry of such aliens.
