Mr. President. in addition. I am offering another amendment to restore judicial review to aliens who may be deported on the grounds of exclusion under section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. As everyone who follows immigration law knows. section 212(a) as now written. Is hopelessly vague and out of date. In fact.the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy voted to throw it out and completely rewrite itwhich is the intention. I know. of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Policy. However. until that is accomplished. I believe there must be some recourse to judicial review for persons caught in the vague and arbitrary exclusion provisions of existing law.
