Syllabus

<p>1, Constitutional Daw (§ 70*) — Regulation of Immigration — Matters Sub- ■ ject to Judicial Inquiry.</p> <p>TJie power and authority of the United States, as an attribute of its sovereignty, to either prohibit or regulate the immigration of aliens, are plenary, and Congress may choose such agencies as it pleases to carry out whatever policy or rule of exclusion it may adopt, and, so long as such agencies do not transcend the limits of the authority or abuse the discretion reposed in them, their judgment is not open to challenge or review by the courts.</p> <p>LEd. Note. — For other cases, see Constitutional Law, Cent. Dig.1 §§ 129-132; Dec. Dig. § 70.*]</p> <p>2. Habeas Corpus (§ 92*) — Exclusión of Immigrants — Review of Order ok Immigration Officers.</p> <p>Where an alien immigrant was before tlie board of inspectors, so that they had an opportunity to inspect and examine him in person, and ho was given a fair hearing and full opportunity to present evidence, an order denying him admission on the ground that he is likely to become a public charge cannot be reviewed by the courts in habeas corpus proceedings as not supported by evidence.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Habeas Corpus, Cent. Dig. §§ 81-95; Dec. Dig. § 92.*]</p> <p>3. Aliens (§ 51*) — Order for Deportation of Immigrant — Review by Courts —¡Sufficiency of Record.</p> <p>While the record of proceedings before the immigration officers must show a regular procedure in accordance with the requirements of the law to justify an order for the deportation of an immigrant when attacked in habeas corpus proceedings, it is only a substantial conformity of the procedure to such requirements that is demanded, and a technical precision in the exemplification of the record is not to be expected. ■ •</p> <p>(Ed.
