Portrait of Tom C. Clark Tom C. Clark Rogers v. Quan — Opinion of the Court

However, under neither of the exclusion sections, i.e., § 237 (a) of the present Act or § 18 of the 1917 Act, is the deportation authority confined, as respondents contend, to those situations where deportation is immediate. Neither section, when read in its entirety and in context, fairly suggests any such limitation. Nor are there reasons of policy to compel such a result. As the desie to remain increases, those knocking on our doors quite naturally become more litigious, and contested departures often involve long delays.
