The House on Thursday passed the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act authored by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).
The measure mandates the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes against women, including domestic violence, sex crimes, and other offenses.
The bill was passed in a 274 to 145 vote, with 61 Democrats joining 213 Republicans who voted for the proposed legislation. It was opposed by 145 Democrats.
In a speech on the House floor on Thursday, Mace said, “Under the open border policies of Joe Biden and border czar Kamala Harris and Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas, our country has been ravaged by a horde of illegal aliens molesting American children, battering and bruising and beating up American women, and violently raping American women and girls.”
The lawmaker further explained that the bill “makes it very clear that if an illegal alien commits a sex crime or an act of domestic violence, they are inadmissible, and deportable.”
She blasted Democrats opposing the bill accusing them of trying to “minimize this issue because they refuse to acknowledge the consequences that their open borders agenda is here.”
The lawmaker further questioned whether the Democrats who voted against the bill the last time it was up for consideration would “apologize to American women and girls today and do the right thing for our citizens.”
She added: “A vote against this bill is a vote against deporting illegal aliens who rape and abuse women and children” and a “vote to invite illegal aliens who rape and abuse women and children into the United States of America.”
So, for democrats it’s all about “The Party” and not what’s good for the country. And they call us fascists!
I’d like to know why 146 democrats think it’s not a good idea to deport criminals who’d were here illegally in the first place.
