Book Synopsis

The question presented by the instant appeal is a narrow one. The relator, Forino, a citizen of Italy, admitted to the United States for permanent residence, on December 5, 1932, and within five years after his entry, pleaded guilty in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, to an indictment charging him with murder. The court fixed the degree of his guilt as murder in the second degree and sentenced him to imprisonment for a term of not less than eight nor more than sixteen years. On January 11, 1933, a warrant for Forinos arrest was issued by the Secretary of Labor to deport him as an undesirable alien within the purview of Section 19 of the Immigration Act of 1917, as amended, 39 Stat. 889, 8 U.S.C.A. § 155, which provided in pertinent part that "* * * any alien who, after May 1, 1917, is sentenced to imprisonment for a term of one year or more because of conviction in this country of a crime involving moral turpitude, committed within five years after the entry of the alien to the United States * * * shall, upon the warrant of the Secretary of Labor, be taken into custody and deported: * * * Provided further, That the provision of this section respecting the deportation of aliens convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude shall not apply to one who has been pardoned * * *."
