““The point to be determined by us is whether the appellant had a fair hearing, and, if it appears from the record that ho had, we are not at liberty to disturb the decision of the lower court. The truth of the facts is for the determination of the immigration tribunals, and where its procedure and decision are not arbitrary or unreasonable, and the alien has had a fair hearing, the result must be accepted.””
