ICYMI: House Passes Bill to Deport Illegal Immigrants with History of Sex Offenses; 145 Democrats Voted Against It

House passes bill to deport illegal immigrants with history of sex offenses:

The House passed a bill to deport illegal immigrants with a history of violence against women on Thursday, one of several Republican messaging bills that have a shot at becoming law thanks to the party’s new control of Washington.

The Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), received bipartisan support, with all Republicans and 61 Democrats voting in favor of the legislation.

Democratic support came as no surprise, after 51 Democrats voted for the bill in the last Congress.

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.

Mace introduced the legislation two months before the 2024 election as Republicans zeroed in on illegal immigration and the spike in crossings at the southern border. The bill is also one of 12 pieces of legislation that were fast-tracked for a vote on the floor under the House rules package. —>READ MORE HERE

145 Dems Vote Against Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act:

The confirmation hearings have simmered down a bit since yesterday, and while Adam Schiff appears to be minding his Ps and Qs, a sizeable contingent of House Democrats remain as agenda-driven and intransigent as ever. Thursday, the House passed the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act by a vote of 274 to 145.

Any guesses who the 145 were? The Washington Examiner notes that all members of the GOP voted in favor of the bill, and 61 Democrats joined them. If the bill, which Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced, becomes law, illegal aliens who have been convicted of sex crimes and acts of violence against women and children would be deported. One would think that even the most passionate defenders of illegal immigration would be able to get behind a bill like this. In fact, one might suspect that many illegal aliens would support it, too. After all, the U.S. does not need any more sex offenders. But 145 Democrats did not concur.

Just walked off the floor – after HR30 passes the House for a second time – 145 Democrats have a lot of explaining to do after being given a second chance to protect women and girls from illegals who r*pe, m*lest and m*rder them. pic.twitter.com/lm9oP6ibcr

Fox News reports that during the debate on the bill, Mace spoke passionately about the need to pass it:

Our country has been ravaged by a horror of illegal immigrants…violently raping American women and girls. I know the lifelong scars, the irreversible scars these heinous crimes leave behind.

The House Democrats who opposed the bill fell back on the flimsiest of excuses, namely that the bill would harm survivors of domestic abuse who chose to fight back and would broaden the definition of abuse to include those survivors.

The bill, which has the ardent support of Elon Musk, is on its way to the Senate. Musk has called for the names of those who voted against the bill to be published as a list so that constituents can vote them out. One of those House members was, unsurprisingly, Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.). —>READ MORE HERE
