Why don’t they just admit that they prioritize illegal aliens and fake asylum seekers, even if they committed crime, above American citizen. Seriously, this gaslighting is absurd and transparent to most Americans
Social posts target Democrats’ vote on migrant offenders bill. Here’s why they say they opposed it.
U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., reintroduced legislation Jan. 3 she said would keep dangerous immigrants out of the country — people who have committed sex crimes or domestic abuse.
On social media, critics used the occasion to deride House Democrats who first voted against the bill in September.
“There is no justification. 158 Democrats voted against deporting illegal immigrants who are convicted sex offenders,” one Jan. 5 Instagram post said. (big snip)
But Democrats and domestic violence groups who opposed the bill told PolitiFact that the law already provides for deportation of migrants convicted of sex offenses and crimes against children. And the bill’s language could have the unintended effect of harming immigrant domestic violence survivors, they warned.
“I voted against this bill for several reasons. First, it is redundant because all serious sexual and violent offenses already render someone deportable under the law,” U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., wrote in an email to PolitiFact.
Except, they aren’t really being deported. “Ibarra had been previously arrested by both federal and state officials in multiple jurisdictions. In September 2023, Ibarra was arrested in New York City and charged with “acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.” He was arrested for crimes again after that in Georgia. And, yet, the Biden-Harris admin failed to deport him.
Current U.S. law already makes inadmissible people convicted of crimes “involving moral turpitude,” which courts generally define as crimes involving harm to people or property or fraud offenses.
And yet the Biden-Harris admin has allowed murderers, rapists, child abusers, arsonists, gang members, and members of Islamic terrorist groups into the U.S., when they are supposed to be turned away immediately.
Mace’s bill would add sex offenses and broaden the definition of domestic violence offenses in the “deportable aliens” section of the federal criminal code.
That’s a good thing, right? Or, do Democrats no longer want to protect women?
North Carolina University law professor Rick Su said aggravated felonies are already deportable offenses. Those are currently defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act — a law enacted in 1952 that governs U.S. immigration policy — to include rape, sexual abuse of a minor, all crimes of violence, child pornography and sex trafficking, Su said.
Refer back to part about the Biden-Harris admin barely deporting them, and not working particularly hard to catch them.
Another section of current law already makes domestic violence, stalking or violation of a protection order, and crimes against children deportable offenses, Su said. The law also makes “crimes involving moral turpitude” deportable offenses.
“Even if domestic violence and sex crimes were not explicitly noted as deportable offenses, they would almost certainly fall under a ‘crime involving moral turpitude,’” Su said.
Again, those laws are barely being applied. And they keep on giving excuse after excuse, ending with
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee said in a fact sheet that despite the bill’s name focusing on “illegal aliens,” the bill would “sweep in green card holders, those seeking to come to U.S. lawfully, and DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and TPS (Temporary Protected Status) recipients.”
So, they do not want non-citizens who break the law to be deported. Why, is the real question. What is in it for Democrats?
