Today, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) announced the passage of the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act. The legislation aims to close a loophole that previously allowed certain immigrants with criminal backgrounds to remain in the United States.
Hinson stated, “Illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds – especially those who have committed sexual assault – should be immediately deported. I cosponsored the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act to make it clear that any violent illegal alien Biden let into our country should be at the top of the deportation list. This is just commonsense. Any Democrat who voted against this bill should be asked why they think illegal immigrants who have committed sexual assault should be allowed to stay in the U.S.”
The act specifies that aliens convicted of sex offenses or domestic violence, or those admitting to such crimes, will not be admissible to the United States. Furthermore, any alien convicted of a sex offense or conspiracy to commit such an offense will face deportation.
