Guardado-Garcia v. Holder, 615 F.3d 900 (8th Cir. Aug. 4, 2010) (federal conviction of violating 42 U.S.C. 408(a)(7)(B) constituted crime of moral turpitude, since intent to deceive for the purpose of wrongfully obtaining a benefit was an essential element of this offense; the fact that Congress chose to exempt a certain class of noncitizens from prosecution for certain acts did not necessarily mean that those acts do not involve moral turpitude).

jurisdiction:
