This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish new grounds for inadmissibility and deportability for aliens involved in driving while intoxicated (DWI) or impaired offenses. It specifically targets individuals who have been convicted of, or admit to committing, acts that constitute the essential elements of such an offense. Under this legislation, these individuals would be deemed inadmissible to the United States. Additionally, the bill mandates that any alien convicted of a DWI or impaired driving offense will be considered deportable from the country. The definition of driving while intoxicated or impaired is determined by the law of the jurisdiction where the offense occurred, encompassing driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These provisions apply universally, irrespective of whether the conviction or offense is classified as a misdemeanor or felony under federal, state, tribal, or local law.
