United States v. Cox, 536 F.2d 65 (5th Cir. 1976) (conviction of vagrancy for prostitution held crime of moral turpitude for impeachment purposes);
Matter of GR, 5 I. & N. Dec. 18 (BIA 1952) (conviction of crime of vagrancy, lewd under California Penal Code § 647.5 (“Every idle, or lewd, or dissolute person, or associate of known thieves . . . is a vagrant and is punishable . . . .”) is not a crime involving moral turpitude);
Matter VS, 2 I. & N. Dec. 703 (BIA 1946) (conviction of the crime of vagrancy in Canada or in New York is not an offense involving moral turpitude, inasmuch as the courts in those jurisdictions characterize the offense as punishing the condition of vagrancy into which the person had fallen and not as an omission or commission punishable by law).
