32 F.2d 623 | S.D.N.Y. | 1929
The relator, an alien seaman, having on August 1, 1924, been permitted to land temporarily in the United States pursuant to section 19 of the Immigration Act of 1924 (8 USCA § 166) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and having remained here for a longer time than permitted by the regulations, may he taken into custody and deported at any time after his entry, pursuant to section 14 of said act (8 USCA § 214). The limita
It may be added that the codifiers of the United States Code have included in one section (title 8 [8 USCA] § 166) the provisions of section 19 of the Act of 1924 and the provisions of section 34 of the Act of 1917, with some change of language which conveys the impression that deportation of alien seamen under section 19 of the later act is limited by the special limitation contained in section 34 of the earlier act. But by express provision of the enacting clause of the United States Code, the codification neither amends, repeals, nor adds to the preexisting statutes.
Accordingly, the writ is dismissed, and the relator is remanded to the custody of the respondent.
