On Wednesday, Congressman John Moolenaar voted for legislation to protect women and children from violence by making any illegal immigrant convicted of sexual assault deportable and inadmissible for re-entry into the United States.

“Kamala Harris and Joe Biden created a crisis at our southern border, allowing over 10 million illegal immigrants into our country. Tragically, thousands of these illegal aliens have attacked innocent women and girls. This bill is common sense, and it will ensure perpetrators are held responsible for their crimes, deported, and unable to return to America,” said Moolenaar.

According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 4,390 non-citizens were arrested for sexual assault in 2023. 

The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act passed the House of Representatives 266 to 158.
