The majority united in its support of the legislation.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which the House of Representatives passed on Thursday. The legislation would deem illegal immigrants convicted or admitting to sexual assault, child abuse, or domestic violence inadmissible to the U.S. Any alien who is convicted of such an offense may be deported.
“No family should endure the heartbreak the families of Laken Riley, Mollie Tibbetts, Karina Vetrano, and Maddie Hines have experienced. Every woman and every girl deserves to feel safe in their own community,” said Representative Mace. “This isn’t complicated—keeping criminal illegal aliens out of our country and off our streets is just common sense. Women should be able to walk down the street without fear, and families should feel safe in their own neighborhoods.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Representative Mace as she seeks to ensure the safety of and protection for women.
- For members of the Senate as they consider the legislation to prevent illegals from committing violent acts against women.
