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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“section 1324(a)(2) punishes those who participate in the process of bringing illegal aliens into the United States, and ... the offense does not end at the instant the alien sets foot across the border. The illegal importation of aliens, like the illegal importation of drugs, see United States v. Leal, 831 F.2d 7 , 9(1st Cir.1987), United States v. MacDougall, 790 F.2d 1135 , 1150-51, 1153 (4th Cir.1986), continues at least until the alien reaches his immediate destination in this country.”
