This is precisely what the Supreme Court in the Sung case condemned. At the top of page 118 of the bill it is stated: The procedure so prescribed shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for determinIng the deportability of an alien under this section. In any case in which an alien is ordered deported from the United States under the provisions of this act. or of any other law or treaty. the decision of the Attorney General shall be final. That. to my mind. means that hereafter. so far as statute law is concerned. the Supreme Court cannot declare the procedure to be unconstitutional. There is certainly danger that the Immigration Service will claim that this is the case. The way is left open for the socalled special inquiry officer. who is really a hearing officer. to crossexamine and. In effect. therefore. to prosecute. While he cannot investigate the particular case in question. he can be investigating other cases and. hence. develop the frame of mind of an investigator. This is primarily the way the work of the Immigration Service has been conducted.
