Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make voting in a Federal election by an unlawfully present alien an aggravated felony, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Voter Integrity Protection Act," proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make voting in a federal election by an undocumented immigrant (referred to as an "unlawfully present alien") an aggravated felony. Specifically, the bill would modify existing immigration law to add voting by an undocumented person to the list of aggravated felonies, which are serious crimes that can trigger severe immigration consequences. The legislation would also make such voting a deportable offense, meaning that an undocumented immigrant who votes in a federal election could be removed from the United States. The changes would be made by adding a new provision to Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which defines aggravated felonies, and by adding a new subsection to Section 237(a)(2), which lists grounds for deportation. The bill targets violations of Section 611 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which relates to voting by aliens, and applies specifically to individuals who are unlawfully present in the country.
