Gong Sic Or v. White
Opinion of the Court
The appellant claimed to be entitled to admission to the United States as the foreign-born son of a Chinaman named Gong Bing Gow, whose citizenship here is not questioned. They arrived at the port of San Francisco on the same ship, and the right of the alleged son to enter this country was questioned, on the ground that the relationship did not, in fact, exist, which question came on for hearing before a board of special inquiry under the statute of the United States upon the subject, before which it appears from the rec
Such appeal was taken January 13, 1921, and the record, including all the exhibits that were introduced, was forwarded to the Secretary of Labor, before which officer the applicant was represented by attorneys, who filed a brief in his behalf, and who subsequently were granted an oral argument before the Secretary. The result was that the Secretary of Labor affirmed the action of the board of special inquiry, and the applicant directed accordingly to be deported. We see in the record no ground for the sole contention here made that the applicant was not afforded a fair hearing before the officers of the Immigration Department. See Jeung Bock Hong v. White, 258 Fed. 23, 169 C. C. A. 161; Quock Ting v. United States, 140 U. S. 417, 420, 11 Sup. Ct. 733, 851, 35 L. Ed. 501.
The judgment is affirmed.
