More than 150 House Democrats voted against a bill that would have deported illegal immigrants convicted of sexual offenses or conspiracy to commit such crimes.
With a vote tally of 266 to 158, the bill Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act saw every present Republican in favor, alongside 51 courageous Democrats who showed some sanity by crossing party lines to vote in favor of the bill.
The bill, H.R. 7909, which is sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace, seeks to make illegal aliens who have committed heinous acts, such as domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and sexual offenses, inadmissible and deportable from the United States.
According to the Congressional Budget Office:
Yet, Democrats like Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal from Washington could not resist painting the bill as “xenophobic,” absurdly accusing Republicans of “scapegoating immigrants” rather than addressing the very real issue of dangerous criminals slipping through the cracks of the immigration system, according to Fox News.
Further, a conviction for domestic violence, stalking, or child abuse, child neglect, or child abandonment renders an alien deportable.
