House Passes Bill to Deport Illegal Aliens Convicted of Sex Crimes
145 Democrats voted no, 51 Democrats voted yes.
The House of Representatives passed the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act (H.R. 30), which forces the government to deport illegal aliens who have been convicted of sex crimes.
It passed 274-145, with 61 Democrats voting yes and 15 lawmakers not voting.
Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced the bill last year. 51 Democrats joined the Republicans then.
“Endorsed by Elon Musk, this bill will deport illegal aliens convicted of r*pe, m*rder, and p*dophilia,” Mace wrote on X after the House passed the bill. “Hold the line.”
From The Washington Examiner:
Several frontliners voted in favor of the bill, including many freshman members who represent swing districts.
Seven Democrats — Reps. Jim Himes (D-CT), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Greg Landsman (D-OH), Terri Sewell (D-AL), Darren Soto (D-FL), Ritchie Torres (D-NY), and Lori Trahan (D-MA) — voted “yes” on the bill after voting against it last Congress.
Two Democrats, Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) and Adam Smith (D-WA), voted against the bill after voting “yes” the first time. Rep. Frank Mrvan (D-IN) voted “yes” vote first time but did not cast a vote a second time.
The Republicans promised to tackle illegal immigration, especially after President-elect Donald Trump won on November 5.
“Preventing violence against women by illegal aliens is just one of many bills Republicans have proposed that will help close immigration loopholes, reverse the disastrous policies of the Biden-Harris administration and implement President Trump’s enforcement agenda,” said Rep. Laurel Lee (R-FL) during the debate on the floor.
Then there’s Democrats like Pramila Jayapal who accused the Republicans of weaponizing “it against domestic violence victims.” She also claimed it would make “it easier to deport survivors who act in self-defense.”

As is normal, most of the communists love their sex offenders and want to keep child molesters around.
These are the same perverts who voted to have men in women’s showers. After all, Biden had lots of practice with a little girl. It must have been fun, he wanted others to participate.
But it’s perfectly ok to have a sex offender in the White House? Interesting!
Don’t worry, Johnny. The sex offender will be gone in four days.

Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M
What a jury “found” is irrelevant. The fact remains that Biden is a sex offender (Tara Reade) and Trump is not.
>>House Passes Bill to Deport Illegal Aliens Convicted of Sex Crimes<<
That's good. But how about we pass legislation into law that allows the deportation of all the illegals currently in the United States no matter their criminal history.
Exactly
Good question. Notwithstanding your worthy point, in the real world we have to look at things as they are, There are 10-12 million illegals in the U.S., at least 80% having arrived before 2020. No matter what the contents of your wet dreams, we will not round all of them up. To do so would be a logistical, economic, political, and in some cases moral nightmare.
So what to do? The answer is to go after the criminals and the unproductive, and devise a naturalization process that is easier and simpler than today’s. Couple it with much tighter border enforcement, and replacement of the “diversity lottery” with skills-based immigration in the future.
Republicans should approve of this, because even if you have to do it through clenched teeth, the politics would be HUGELY favorable. You’d see millions of Mexican-Americans and Central Americans, both current citizens and new ones, vote Republican for a long time.
Do you really think we are going to corral 10 million people in refugee camps? That dog ain’t gonna hunt. So instead, you pick and choose, deploy both the stick and the carrot. This will be a political I.Q. test for the new administration and the Republican Party.
Let’s look at some numbers here. During World War II, the U.S. put 120,000 Japanese-American citizens in internment camps. Today, there are 1.9 million Americans in prisons and jails of various kinds. If we were to incarcerate all of the illegal immigrants, it would be an additional five to six times as many people.
If we succeeded in expelling them, this would not happen all at once. There would be millions of people interned. The logistics alone would be daunting to say the very least. Now, let’s look candidly at the nature of illegal immigration. Simply to be here illegally is not the same kind of crime that lands people in jail or prison; most of the “undocumented” are here to work, and the large majority have been doing that.
The illegals are otherwise law-abiding people in the main. Even if we could somehow conquer the logistics, it would be widely seen as outlandishly unfair and punitive toward people who have come here for a better life. My point is that the illegals are not a single, undifferentiated mass, but in fact are an aggregate of the good (mostly) and the bad (too many, but not anywhere near all.)
I need to say that I am quite far from a liberal Democrat on this. If possible, and legally authorized, I would end so-called “birthright citizenship” for future babies born to illegal immigrants. My reading of the 14th amendment’s history says it would be legal, but there is the distinct possibility that it would take a constitutional amendment. I would support that, but I very much doubt it could get the requisite two-thirds of both houses and three-fourths of state legislatures to be enacted, and that in any case it would take years.
Similarly, if I were emperor, only citizens would be counted for purposes of congressional representation, but this also might and I think probably would require a constitutional amendment. I would support it, but our constitution is purposely difficult to amend.
All of my analysis is grounded in the practicalities of our system. Thus, to deal with illegal immigration simply will NOT be a simple matter even if many here would want it to be. This, to me, argues very strongly for a (don’t kill me for using the word) “nuanced” approach.
I think this will be the first big issue facing the new administration and Congress. Piss and moan to your heart’s content, but understand this: The stakes are high, both immediate and long-term. Do this right, and it will pay very large positive dividends for the country and for the Republican Party. Do it wrong, and both the country and the Republican Party will wind up snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
It’s a big test at a number of levels, and we will soon learn just how intelligent and competent the conservatives really are.
“The illegals are otherwise law-abiding people in the main.”
Correction; 100% of the illegal aliens broke the law.
Look, everyone breaks this or that law. This does not mean they cannot be otherwise law abiding. This should be obvious to anyone with any miles on the tires.
“Thus, to deal with illegal immigration simply will NOT be a simple matter even if many here would want it to be.”
We should start small, by hanging the people directly responsible for ignoring their duty to enforce clear immigration law, deiberately creating a mess that will cost the country decades of labor to correct or absorb.
Carrot and stick.
Tell illegals:
Register with authorities and self-deport (and offer to pay their passage – make it as easy for them to leave as possible). You will be considered for legal admission five years hence, and every three years thereafter, until you are admitted or decide to stop trying. If, after self-deporting, you attempt to re-enter the country illegally, you will be ejected and permanently barred from seeking any form of admission, much less put on a path to citizenship. If you do not register and are expelled by the authorities, you will likewise be permanently banned from re-entry for any purpose.
Then sit back and see what happens.
Note that anyone who self-deports without registering and then subsequently re-enters the country and is caught will then be in the latter category – a person illegally in the country who was not registered to self-deport, and will be expelled and permanently barred from re-entry, so there’s no loophole to be exploited by slinking away and re-entering illegally. (Although they could possibly try to re-enter legally, and that would be fine – the idea is to get them to go home, if they come back legally, that’s not a problem.)
Reagan did that, and they voted for Democrats. What makes you believe that these money grabbers won’t vote for Santa Claus and a never ending tit of free stuff?
We don’t need to round them up. Just simply require birth certificates and other documents whenever anyone applies for federal benefits.
For a brief period of time, I collected food stamps while an E2 in the AF after my son was born. I had to show many forms of proof that I was born in the US, including a BC, my military ID, my residences going back 10 years, and I don’t remember what else.
No documents, not benefits.
Anyone alive today has school records, diplomas, credit application records, apartment lease agreements, a drivers license, auto loans, and lots of other proof.
No tickey, no laundry. And your children are denied too.
“You’d see millions of Mexican-Americans and Central Americans, both current citizens and new ones, vote Republican for a long time.”
Good to meet you, and welcome to You Bet Your Life! Prove you know the secret word, and win a hunnerd dollars.
What a shallow, stupid response. You don’t have to agree with me. In fact, I often consider agreement boring. But your no less of a knee-jerk type than those harpies who were screeching at Hegseth a couple days ago. Did you put the third digit of your I.Q. in a blind trust?
If these illegal aliens that have been arrested and convicted of sex crimes, WHY would you let them go??? Don’t you think that they will return to the US if they get away with these crimes? Being illegal should mean that they are not protected under US laws and they should face the max penalties for their crime. We should not house and feed them in our prisons and in the case such as Laken Riley’s murder, the thug should be put to death. Firing squad or O’l Sparky should be in order.
Firing squads are fine with me!
I looked at the details of the bill, and it puts domestic violence in the same bucket as serious sex crimes. Believe me, I am no advocate of domestic violence, but really, the death penalty? Once you stop scratching your nuts, think about that.
Domestic violence already jumped the shark long ago, in the Lautenberg Amendment. It’s now so felony-adjacent that it IS a felony for all practical purposes.
What’s your point? I don’t know what the Lautenberg Amendment is, but would I be correct in thinking that you approve of it?
The Lautenberg amendment permanently deprives anyone convicted of a misdemeanor categorized as “domestic violence” of their second-amendment rights (all felonies already do that, even non-violent ones).
This was retroactive, so people who had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, having been assured that the penalty was small enough to not be worth fighting, suddenly found themselves deprived of a fundamental constitutional right. The courts rejected all challenges, and it remains the law.
And no, I’m fairly sure Henry does not approve of it. His point is that we crossed that bridge a long time ago; the injustice that you correctly pointed out is not new.
Can I be the one to flip the switch?
None of this stuff matters. It will still take 10 to 20 years for these cases to wind their way through the court system and, at sometime in the near future and before these cases are resolved, most of these illegals will be amnestied. It really won’t matter if these illegals are child rapists, they will still be here in 20 years.
Let them fight it in court from Mexico. They crossed the border illegally, send them back.
Why not
Why not execute any child molesting illegal caught? Deportation is not punishment since we have illegals who have been deported more than ten times. Deportation to a pervert is no punishment but death ends it once and for all.
So rediculous. Deport ALL Foreign illegal invaders, you can do this already. What is this f ing age that we are living in
But it’s perfectly ok to have a sex offender in the White House? Interesting!
It’s not perfectly OK, but thankfully he’s leaving on Monday.
