text: a section a penultimate sentence shows that congress meant the term aggravated felony to capture serious crimes regardless of whether they are made illegal by the federal government,a state,or a foreign country.but luna view would substantially undercut that function by excluding from the act coverage all state and foreign versions of any enumerated federal offense containing an interstate commerce element.and it would do so in a particularly perverse fashion excluding state and foreign convictions for many of a gravest crimes,most child pornography offenses,while reaching convictions for far less harmful offenses,operating an unlawful gambling business.luna theorizes that such haphazard coverage might reflect congress belief that crimes with an interstate connection are generally more serious than those without.but it is implausible that congress viewed the presence of an interstate commerce element as separating serious from conduct.luna theory misconceives the function of interstate commerce elements and runs counter to the penultimate sentence central message that the state,federal,or foreign nature of a crime is irrelevant.and his claim that many serious crimes excluded for want of an interstate commerce element would nonetheless count as a f crime s of violence provides little comfort that alternative would not include nearly all such offenses,nor even the worst ones.
