Bill > S158

This bill, titled the "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act," amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to strengthen provisions related to inadmissibility and deportability for non-citizens who have committed specific types of offenses. The bill expands grounds for inadmissibility and deportation to include individuals convicted of or who admit to committing sex offenses (as defined by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act), domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, or violations of protection orders. Specifically, the bill adds new provisions that make non-citizens ineligible for entry into the United States or subject to deportation if they have been convicted of or admitted to these types of offenses. The legislation broadens the definition of domestic violence to include crimes defined under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, regardless of whether the jurisdiction receives grant funding. By implementing these changes, the bill aims to enhance public safety by creating stricter immigration consequences for non-citizens who have committed violent or abusive crimes.
