Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act

This bill aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, significantly expanding the categories of aliens deemed inadmissible and deportable from the United States. Its core purpose is to prevent individuals who have committed or been convicted of specific violent and sex-related offenses from entering or remaining in the country. By doing so, the legislation seeks to enhance public safety and strengthen immigration enforcement against such offenders.

The legislation introduces new grounds for inadmissibility, applying to any alien convicted of, admitting to committing, or admitting to acts constituting the essential elements of a sex offense, as defined by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. Additionally, aliens are inadmissible if they have committed or been convicted of crimes related to domestic violence, stalking, child abuse (including neglect or abandonment), or violating a protection order involving credible threats of violence, repeated harassment, or bodily injury. Furthermore, the bill expands the grounds for deportability by explicitly making any alien convicted of a sex offense subject to deportation and clarifies the definition of domestic violence within existing deportability provisions for broader application.
