This bill, titled the "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act," aims to amend existing immigration laws regarding the inadmissibility and deportability of certain non-citizens. Below are the main components of the proposed changes:

1. Inadmissibility Criteria

The bill proposes adding clauses to the Immigration and Nationality Act that state:

• Sex Offenses: Any non-citizen who has been convicted of, admits to committing, or has committed acts constituting a sex offense will be considered inadmissible to the United States.
• Domestic Violence and Related Crimes: Any non-citizen convicted of or admitting to committing:
• A crime of domestic violence
• A crime of stalking
• A crime of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment
• A violation of a protection order concerning threats of violence or harassment

will also be deemed inadmissible.

2. Deportability Criteria

The proposed legislation also seeks to amend the deportability section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to include:

• Sex Offenses: Non-citizens who have been convicted of a sex offense will be classified as deportable.
• Domestic Violence and Related Crimes: Non-citizens convicted of domestic violence, as defined in applicable laws, would also be deportable, regardless of if the jurisdiction has federal grant funding related to violent crime control.

3. General Impact

The overall intent of the bill is to enhance restrictions on non-citizens who have committed serious crimes, particularly those against women, children, or related to sexual offenses. By doing so, the legislation aims to strengthen protections for vulnerable populations in the U.S. The changes could significantly impact how immigrant-related offenses are handled by U.S. immigration authorities.
