The judicial recommendation against deportation pursuant to section 241(b) 

(2), Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, made by the court 

following respondent's conviction for violation or 8 11.8M. 1324(a) (2), is 

ineffective to defeat his deportation under section 241(a) (13) of the Act for 

knowingly and for gain assisting other aliens to =lawfully, enter the 

United States. 

• Cana: z 

Order: Act of 1952—Section 241(a) (13) [8 Q.S.C. 1251(a) (13)1—Knowingly and for gain encouraged, induced, assisted, 

abetted or aided any other alien to enter the United 

States in violation of law. 

The case comes forward on 'motion of counsel requesting that the 

matter be reopened, reconsidered and reversed. 

The record relates to a native and citizen of Mexico, a permanent 

resident who was found deportable by a special inquiry Officer on October 22, 1905 on the charge stated above based upon events which occurred on or about July 1965. The special inquiry officer found re-

' spondent ineligible for discretionary relief and ordered deportation. 

The present motion is supported by a •ertified copy of an order of 

judgment entered in the United States:District Court for the Western District of Texas, El Paso Division, entered November 12, 1965 

in which the respondent was convicted upon his plea of pay of the 

offense of knowingly and unlairfully transporting aliens in the United

addition, the court recommended that the defendant be not deported under section 1251(b) (2), Title .18, United States Code (go). 

The recommendation against deportation was made in accordance 

with the provisions of S U.S,C. 1251(b) (2), (section 241(b) (2) of 

the Immigration and Nationality Act), which provides that the provisions of section 241(a) (4) respecting the deportation of an alien 

convicted of a crime or crimes shall not apply if the court sentencing 

such alien for such crime shall make, at the time of first imposing 

judgment or passing sentence, or within 30 days thereafter, a recommendation:to the Attorney General that such alien not be deported. 

It is hello-yea that the decision in the case of Jew Ten v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 307 F.2d 832 (1962), cert. 

denied, 371 U.S. 968, is dispositive of the instant case. In that case 

the alien was On February 15, 1954 convicted- of conspiracy to assist 

Other aliens who entered the United States in violation of law and 

the District Court, pursuant to the provisions of section 211(b) (2) 

of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1251(b) (2), 

recommended that the petitioner be not deported. Thereafter a 

special inquiry officer on. July 18, 1955 directed the alien to be deported from the United States under section 241(a) (13) of the Immigration and' Nationality Act, the decision being affirmed by the 

Board on December 20,1955. 

The court held that section 241(b) can only mean that the sentencing court is limited to making recommendations in 241(a) (4) 

convictions. The defendant however was found to be depOrtable 

under section 241(a) (13). The only significance attached to the 

petitioner's conviction was that the conviction.made it easier to prove 

that the alien did in fact commit acts proscribed by section 241(a) 

(13). The judicial recommendation that an alien convicted of conspiracy to assist other aliens who entered the United. Statea,in violation of the law be not deported, while rendering inapplicable the 

statutory provision permitting deportation of. aliens under section 

241(a) (4), did not preclude deportation muter section 241(a) (13) 

of the Immigration and Nationality Act. 

We believe the cited case is diapositive of the issue. Here, the 

respondent was found deportable; not under section 241(a) (4) of 

the Immigration and Nationality Act, but under•section 241(a) (13) 

for knowingly and for gain assisting other aliens who entered the 

United. States. The recommendation against deportation pursuant 

to section 241(b) (2) is ineffective to defeat deportation. The motion 

will 'be denied. 

ORDER: It is ordered that the motion be and the same is hereby 

denied:
