1Opinion of the Court
CANBY, Circuit Judge.
These consolidated cases present the question whether structuring financial transactions with domestic financial institutions to avoid currency reports, in violation of 31 U.S.C. §§ 5324(a)(3) and 5322(b), is a crime involving moral turpitude within the meaning of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”). We hold that it is not. Accordingly, we grant the petition for review in No. 91-70573, reverse the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), and remand with instructions to terminate the deportation proceedings. 1
