For example. section 5502 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act made aliens who committed acts of torture or extra judicial killings abroad a ground of inadmissibility and a ground of deportability. That provision applies to offenses committed before. on. or after the date of enactment. The Holtzman amendment. enacted in 1978. rendered Nazi criminals excludable and deportable. It applied to individuals who ordered. advocated. assisted. or otherwise participated in persecution on behalf of Nazi Germany or its allies at least 33 years earlier. between the years of 1933 and 1945. It is clear from past experience. as well as common sense. that the only actions we would be taking in this legislation would be to say to those who have had their day in court. who literally thumb their nose at our legal system and at our court system. you will not be rewarded with the benefits under this act. that you will lbe excluded.
