Sec. 1260. Removal of aliens falling into distress

    The Attorney General may remove from the United States any alien who 
falls into distress or who needs public aid from causes arising 
subsequent to his entry, and is desirous of being so removed, to the 
native country of such alien, or to the country from which he came, or 
to the country of which he is a citizen or subject, or to any other 
country to which he wishes to go and which will receive him, at the 
expense of the appropriation for the enforcement of this chapter. Any 
alien so removed shall be ineligible to apply for or receive a visa or 
other documentation for readmission, or to apply for admission to the 
United States except with the prior approval of the Attorney General.
