...illegal aliens are not entitled to the protection of the exclusionary rule in civil deportation hearings because such a rule would unduly "burden" the administration of immigration laws.

...lighthearted, however, were the pamphlets and broadsides delivered by the local Irish Republican Committee encouraging anti-British protesters to confront the Queen. At the Davies Symphony Hall's morning entertainment (which included, à la campy Carmen Miranda, two women with hats bearing huge models of downtown London and San Francisco), an Ulster émigré named Seamus Gibney screamed, "Stop the torture!" He was hauled out, Mary Martin calmly finished singing Getting to Know You, and the Queen's press secretary said he thought Gibney had only coughed...
