On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would require the federal government to deport undocumented immigrants with criminal history involving domestic violence and sex offenses. The bill, titled The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, was introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and passed the lower chamber 266 to 158, with 51 Democrats joining all Republicans to advance the measure, The Washington Examiner reported.
If signed into law, the legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act so that “aliens” convicted of or who have committed sex offenses or domestic violence are “inadmissible and deportable.”

Is this just “a Republican attempt to “scapegoat and fearmonger about immigrants””?
