1. “Under this statute [ 8 U.S.C. § 1323 (a), (b) ], the carrier had the duty of ascertaining, prior to his [the alien’s] embarkation, that the alien passenger was in possession of documents valid for admission into the United States. It does not contemplate that this or any other carrier will embark aliens for the United States when they lack visas, with the hope that liability can be avoided by the granting of a waiver or parole to the individual alien subsequent to his arrival in this country. This section of the law was clearly enacted to prevent speculation such as this on the part of the carrier’s bringing aliens to the United States, (emphasis added).”
