(Worthy News) – The U.S. House on Thursday passed a bill that would lead to the deportation of foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally who commit sex crimes or domestic violence.

The “Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act” passed 274 to 145, with 61 Democrats joining 213 Republicans in voting to approve; 145 Democrats voted against it and 15 members did not vote. No Republicans voted against the measure.

The proposed legislation would make “any sex offense (including crimes against minors) or conspiracy to commit a sex offense a basis for deportation. The bill also expands the domestic violence crimes that make a non-U.S. national deportable to include physical or sexual abuse or a pattern of coercive behavior when it occurs within certain close relationships,” according to a summary of the bill’s language.

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC, sponsored the bill. Mace wrote on X as the bill was being debated: “The Left justifying why they are against deporting r*pists, p*deophiles, and m*rderers who are here ILLEGALLY, never ceases to amaze me.”
