This bill proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by significantly expanding the criminal grounds for deportability for non-citizens. Specifically, it introduces a new provision stating that any alien who has been convicted of a felony or two misdemeanors, at any time after admission, will be subject to deportation. These convictions can originate under either State or Federal law , broadening the scope of offenses that would trigger deportability. The amendment aims to clarify and strengthen the legal framework for removing aliens with certain criminal records from the United States.
