This legislation, titled the "Deport Illegal Voters Act of 2025," seeks to significantly alter the Immigration and Nationality Act. Its primary objective is to designate unlawful voting as an aggravated felony under federal law. Specifically, the bill amends Section 101(a)(43) of the Act to include voting in violation of any Federal, State, or local constitutional provision, statute, ordinance, or regulation as an aggravated felony. Furthermore, it revises Section 212(a)(10)(D) to explicitly state that any alien who has voted unlawfully is inadmissible to the United States, thereby strengthening the grounds for denying entry. The bill also makes a conforming amendment to remove a previous deportability clause related to voting, streamlining the enforcement of these new provisions.
