Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed sex offenses or domestic violence are inadmissible and deportable.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen immigration law by expanding grounds for inadmissibility and deportability for non-citizens who have committed certain crimes, specifically focusing on sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and violations of protection orders. The bill modifies the Immigration and Nationality Act to make any alien who has been convicted of, admitted to committing, or admits to the essential elements of these types of crimes ineligible for entry into the United States or subject to deportation. The bill uses specific legal definitions from other acts, such as the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, to define these offenses. It broadens the definition of domestic violence to include any crime that meets the definition in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, regardless of whether the jurisdiction receives grant funding. The legislation seeks to provide additional legal mechanisms to prevent individuals with a history of violent or sexually abusive behavior from entering or remaining in the United States, with the stated goal of protecting potential victims from harm.
