Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We agree with the respondent that if his conviction has been expunged ... he is no longer deportable.... For many years this Board has recognized that a criminal conviction that has been expunged ... may not support an order of deportation.... However, an exception to this rule exists for expunged drug convictions.... Congress did not intend for aliens convicted of drug offenses to escape deportation on the basis of a state procedure authorizing a technical erasure of the conviction. [Drug crimes are] an exception to the line of cases by this Board ruling that a conviction which has been expunged ... could not be made the basis for deportation proceedings.... However, the Attorney General specifically limited this exception to drug offenses.... [That exception] should not be extended beyond drug cases.”
