2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A]s a matter of general structure and context, ... Congress included a cata-logue of aggravated felonies and described each by reference to criminal offenses outside the confines of the INA; viz., offenses contained in titles 18, 21, 26 and 50 of the United States Code. Specifically, subparagraphs (D), (E), (H), (I), (J), (K), (L), (M), and (P) of INA § 101(a)(43) define aggravated felonies by specific reference to section numbers of the Code and then include a parenthetical setting forth the general nature of the referenced offenses. This leads us to conclude that these parentheticals are intended only as a general illustration of the referenced criminal statutes.”
