Bill Summary
A bill to amend the definition of aggravated felony in the Immigration and Nationality Act to include certain serious drunk driving offenses.
AI Summary
This bill, titled "Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving," proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, which is the primary law governing immigration to the United States. Specifically, it seeks to expand the definition of an "aggravated felony" to include certain serious drunk driving offenses. Under the proposed changes, an alien convicted of driving while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or other illegal substances, where that offense resulted in the death or serious bodily injury of another person, will be considered to have committed an aggravated felony, regardless of how the conviction is classified under federal, state, or local law. Furthermore, any alien convicted of, admitting to, or admitting to acts constituting such a drunk driving offense will be deemed inadmissible to the United States, meaning they can be prevented from entering or remaining in the country. These changes are intended to take effect immediately upon enactment and apply to actions occurring on or after that date, even if the criminal conviction happened earlier.
