During the recent vote for the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, 145 Democrats voted to oppose the legislation. The House bill seeks to deport illegal immigrants who have been convicted of sex crimes, passing in a vote defined by partisan lines 274 to 145. Last year, 158 Democrats voted against the bill.
The bill, introduced to the 118th Congress by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), follows numerous high-profile murders allegedly perpetrated against young American women by illegal immigrants. Prominent examples include 22-year-old Laken Riley’s and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray’s murders, which have fueled the Republican deportation agenda.“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,” Mace said. “The radical left doesn’t agree with this. 145 liberals in Congress love illegal immigrant rapists and murder.. House Republicans united to expand protections for women and put the safety of Americans first.”
