House Sets Vote on Crucial Illegal Immigrant Sex Offender Deportation Bill
In a decisive move to strengthen national security, House Republicans are advancing legislation that would require the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes, with a vote scheduled for next week ahead of President-elect Trump’s inauguration.
The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, championed by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), has already garnered significant support, including a powerful endorsement from tech billionaire Elon Musk. The bill previously passed the House with unanimous Republican support and 51 Democratic votes, only to be blocked by the then-Democrat-controlled Senate.
Musk took to X over the weekend, calling for electoral consequences for those who opposed the measure. “There is no excuse,” the billionaire declared, demanding accountability for legislators who “want to keep illegals who are convicted sex offenders in America.”
The legislation represents part of a broader Republican push to enhance border security and public safety. House GOP leaders, energized by their party’s November sweep of Congress and the White House, are moving swiftly to implement their agenda.
Additional border security measures introduced on the first day of the 119th Congress include:
– Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-Texas) legislation requiring proof of citizenship in voter registration
– Rep. Mike Collins’ (R-Ga.) bill directing federal authorities to detain illegal aliens who commit theft-related crimes
Collins’ legislation is also slated for a House vote this week, demonstrating Republicans’ commitment to rapid action on border security and immigration enforcement.
“Let’s get it passed through both chambers of Congress this go around,” Rep. Mace urged on social media, highlighting the renewed opportunity for passage with Republican control of both chambers.
The swift legislative action signals that House Republicans are prepared to deliver on their campaign promises to secure the border and protect American communities, working in tandem with the incoming Trump administration.
