““The question is whether by so doing he made a new entry into the United States which left him amenable to the provisions of the act of 1924. * * * The relator’s arrival in the United States in April, 1929, was an entry into this country notwithstanding he was a member of the crew of an American ship which had made a round trip voyage. He came from a place outside the United States, and from a foreign port or place, within the meaning of the immigration laws. United States ex rel. Claussen v. Day, 279 U.S. 398 , 49 S.Ct. 354 , 73 L.Ed. 758 .””
