The U.S. House passed a bill last week to deport and make inadmissible criminal foreign nationals convicted of domestic violence and sex-related offenses, including sex crimes against children. It passed with bipartisan support but with the majority of Democrats, 158, voting against it.
The bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act “to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed sex offenses or domestic violence are inadmissible and deportable.” This includes stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, violation of protective orders, including credible threats of violence, repeated harassment, and conspiracy to commit a sex offense as grounds for deportation, according to the bill language.
It also includes crimes defined in the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006: child sex offenders, sexual predators, child sex traffickers, using minors in a sexual performance, soliciting a minor to practice prostitution, producing or distributing child pornography, transporting with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, among others.
The greatest number of Democrats by state who voted against it are 36 from California, 13 from New York, 12 from Illinois, and nine from Texas, according to an analysis of the vote by The Center Square. In Massachusetts and Maryland, where violent offenders are being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, eight and seven Democrats, respectively, voted against deporting such offenders.
These Democrats voted against some current practices of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers who under the Biden-Harris administration are arresting sex offenders thousands of miles from the border in major cities. In Boston, Baltimore and New York, for example, ICE ERO agents are arresting foreign nationals who illegally entered the country after being previously deported and who were convicted of crimes in other states.
In Massachusetts, ICE ERO Boston officers recently arrested a Brazilian national charged with indecent assault and battery against a Nantucket resident over age 14. They also arrested a Salvadoran national charged with numerous sex crimes against a child on Nantucket Island, including child rape and indecent assault and battery.
They also recently arrested a Guatemalan national convicted of molesting a Missouri minor. He was previously deported, illegally re-entered the country and has an extensive criminal history, according to ICE.
In another case, they arrested a Guatemalan national charged with raping a Massachusetts resident. This is after he was convicted of assault and battery on a family or household member and arraigned on two counts of rape and indecent assault and battery on a person over 14. ICE said, “he posed a significant threat to the members of our community.”
In another case, they arrested an 18-year-old Haitian national charged with indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 in Massachusetts.
In Maryland, ICE ERO Baltimore officers apprehended a Mexican national in Gaithersburg convicted of sex crimes against a minor. He illegally entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location and has an extensive criminal history. They also arrested a sex offender from Honduras who was convicted of sex crimes against a minor. He was previously deported and has an extensive criminal record.
They also arrested a Honduran national illegally in the U.S. who was convicted of raping a Maryland resident. His “landmark arrest” was the 153rd noncitizen sex offender arrested in Maryland this fiscal year, ICE reported.
ICE-ERO-New York officers recently arrested a Honduran man and sex offender who was previously deported four times. He was most recently convicted by a court in Philadelphia for unlawful sexual contact with a minor, indecent assault of a person less than 13 years old, among other charges. He also has an extensive criminal history.
Several House Democrats said they voted against the bill claiming it would hurt victims. Others said it was a political bill in an election year and attacked its author, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC. Others claimed the bill didn’t close a loophole in the law that Mace and others claim it does.
Despite their claims, ICE field office directors repeatedly argue it is necessary to deport sex offenders. In their press releases, they repeatedly describe the violent crimes committed against Americans and against migrants, including children.
Their focus as law enforcement is “on prioritizing public safety by apprehending and removing egregious noncitizen offenders” who present a “significant threat to our youngest residents and the community as a whole.”
ICE agents will “relentlessly pursue heinous predators who prey on our children and remove them from the United States,” they maintain.
The 158 Democrats voting against the bill “shows the American people they care more about illegal aliens than our women and children,” Mace said.

What is so surprising to anyone with this response from congressional Democrats? This is who they have been for quite some time. The Republican members of Congress were essentially asking the Democrats to authorize deporting some of their new voter base just for committing vile criminal acts. Democrats have been soft on all illegal alien criminals across the country on the local, state and federal level. This is who the Democrat Party is. Open your eyes and stop expecting something different.
this is an absolute disgrace. How can the democrat party claim to support women yet vote to allow sexual predators, domestic abusers, etc. who are in this country illegally to remain here? whose side are they on? clearly not ours.
Democrats no longer represent U. S. citizens. In fact, it appears that they hold Americans in complete and utter contempt. A vote for a Democrat is a vote for someone who despises you, so why would one do so. Hate yourself, maybe?
So the majority of House Democrats voted AGAINST deporting sex offenders, and quite recently, every House Democrat who voted voted against requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. This should tell you all you need to know about the Democrats. What’s more, it tells us all we need to know about anyone who still, after those two votes, chooses to vote for Democrats.
What Representative Nancy Mace said in the last sentence of this article puts much in perspective . Praise for Bethany Blankley for presenting this information . It is very good that the bill passed. It indicates that there is hope for maintaining a civilized society, and preserving this Constitutional Republic and having a sense of honor In the spirit of Faith,Family and Freedom.
These 158 Demorats are truly despicable and not worthy to hold office!
dems claim they are for women yet they want guys in women’s sports now they want illegals to assault and rape women and children, anything for the vote
Check those dems for child porn. That might be why they aren’t opposed it deporting. Birds of a feather…
It does little good to deport them with a porous border. Look at the examples. Deported multiple times, returned and continued ravaging our youth. They need to be executed.
What would make this reporting much more effective would be to call out and list the 158 Democrats that voted against the bill.
There are people responsible for this despicable mess. No, not the border patrol and not the police force. Those ,whose laws and decrees allowed it. They are the true culprits, allowing and abetting the crime against the citizens who pay for their slop. They need to be put on trial, instead they will be reelected.
It should be an embarrassment to all Democrats that this happened. Reminds me a lot of the voting for the Civil Rights Bill. Living in Texas, I’m truly disgusted with the fact that any Democrat from this State voted against the Bill since our state is in the crosshairs of illegal immigration which puts our children at great risk. This should be a wake-up call not to vote Democrat if you value the welfare of our children and our society.
No surprise. The Fascist democrats as usual protecting their criminals from their Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion. Once again putting Americans lives and Safety last. They want their Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion to vote Illegally over Americans safety and sovereignty.
Still think you’re SAFE under Fascist democrats?
Think again. Millions upon millions from their Illegal Alien Terrorist Invasion keep pouring in on a daily basis with Dictator Beijing biden, Communist harris, and democrats blessing.
Democrats and RINOS are all about America Last. It’s sad that the House even had to draft up and vote on this legislation. After all, ILLEGAL ALIENS aren’t supposed to be here in the first place, so deportation should be automatic.
They don’t want sex offending immigrants deported??? Fine! Pass a law that requires everybody voting against this commonsense sex offender bill to take them into their homes.
How do we decide how many they have to take into their homes? Round up all he sex offending immigrants, and divide that number into the number of representatives that voted against the bill. The resulting number would be the number each of those Vile representatives would be required to take into their home.
How about a list of names of these “patriots”
Dems ARE IN ON crimes
Can you believe it? I just read that in this election the Republicans are in danger of losing its majority in the House! I am so tired of hearing, “the American are not stupid” Who are these voters voting in these deranged people?
Anyone who voted against this bill needs to be voted out!!!
Michael Savage always said that liberals/democrats suffer from a mental disorder,
158 democrats just proved it!!
Dems would change their minds if they were a victim. They only have common sense when it happens to them!
The names of the 158 Democrats who voted against deporting sex offenders should be listed and published across this nation for everyone to see and for all to know. It’s time for The People to get informed on what their representitives are doing and how they are representing them..
worthless POS, just wondering how they would feel if it was their daughter their wife or perhaps their son.
The Democrats are The Domestic Terrorists.
They are Communists! Plain and simple!
It is really quite simple. Democrats are liars as we all know. They can only pull the wool over their supports eyes for so long until even their staunchest supports begin to see the light. The only way they can continue to win is by renewing the voter base, so in come the illegal aliens to fill the democrat voter pot, and the democrats don’t care what these illegals have done or will do in the future so long as democrat power is maintained.
The Progressive Leftist thrive on chaos and anarchy. They create problems then justify spending more money to expand Government and take more power and authority. Why Americans can’t see what’s happening is beyond my comprehension.
Not only would I not deport such career criminals but I would ensure that they would never be able to commit such crimes again anywhere. Execute them. It’s what they deserve. But because I’m a Christian, I would do it in the least painful way possible. After all, they’ll burn in hellfire forever. A simple injection of sodium pentathol to put them to sleep then remove any organs that are needed as well as the blood that could save many lives.
158 Democrats voting against the bill “shows the American people they care more about illegal aliens than our women and children,” Mace said.
(SICK))
Sick !!!
Sick – WoW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Democrats empathize with criminals, traitors, and perverts, because they ARE crimnals, traitors, and perverts
IMO.
Someone needs to explain why anyone would vote against this. That’s sick.
Have to compliment Rep Schrier of Washington for finally getting one right. Not often but this time. Of course, our favorite shiff show did not. Scumbag. Maybe these nays would like to house some of these poor unfortunate offenders. 🙂
The Fascist democrats fly Zelensky to Pennsylvania on taxpayer expense to campaign today for the Fascist democrats to help support their Communist agenda.
THOSE 158 PEOPLE THAT VOTED AGAINST THIS BILL SHOULD BE DEPORTED AS TRAITORS TO AMERICA AND THEY ARE ALL EVIL, EVIL, EVIL
THOSE 158 NEED VOTED OUT OF OFFICE THIS NOVEMBER AND THAT VOTE SHOULD BE SHOUTED OUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS OF WHO THEY ARE SO VOTERS IN THEIR STATES KNOW.
Demoncrats (Democrats) are synonyms with criminals.
How do people still vote for the Democrats after they learn how devious and evil they are? They either never seek out nor want to seek out what is going on in our country or they only read or watch the far-left biased media. Apathy and lies are what the Communists count on to change countries into a Communist countries. Many will never be aware that their chosen party voted against heinous crimes committed against we, the people.
Isn’t it pitiful that the democrats have to depend on crooks of every kind to win an election? Mrs. Harris is a desperate politician.
Who in their right mind would believe democrats? They have done nothing but lie and everything to destroy our country and destroy morale values on top of it. Just remember that in California you can kill the baby even after it’s 10 days old (California law).
Now we know we have 158 sick-os and perverts in Congress who are probably doing the same offensive things as those they don’t feel should be deported. Vote these corrupt perverts and sick-os out of office. Those of you who still believe this is the Democratic Party are sadly delusional. The Democratic Party died more than 40 years ago. What’s left is nothing democratic in any form or fashion. I went Independent more than 30 years ago because of the BS socialist and communist garbage this “democratic” party supports and pushes out. They are lairs and criminals and any true Democrat should be ashamed for supporting them. The majority of these “democrats” should be tarred and feathered, and run out of town on a rail. Thank you RFK Jr. for finally seeing the truth and getting out. Hopefully, others will follow. Real Democrats should force these communists/socialists/maoists/marxists etc to give up the name democratic party and name their party what it is, the communist party.
Simple solution, convict, then execute, problem solved. Why keep recycling the unrecyclable trash, do we do that with hazardous waste, no, we bury it.
My first reaction is total disgust, but it’s really NOT surprising. If I’m completely honest, I would say don’t deport–put their sorry butts against a wall and OPEN FIRE! I know that’s not very Christian of me, but the Bible does say God abhors those who harm children, and that sexual crimes are heinous sins. Lock and load!
folks commenting that the names should be published – in the article itself I you mean? else, click the hyperlink included in the article for voted against and you can see the names, filter to your state – and send them a message or give them a call
To “Democrats”, it doesn’t matter if a would-be constituent is a violent rapist, bugger, or murderer. “A vote is a vote.”
Of course, this disposition does fly in the face of the “faux compassion” that they incessantly claim while on the stump…. but, “Hey… it’s still another vote!”
No surprise they do not care about anyone but the party first and themselves second.
daaa. that would mean they would have to deport many of their own. ain’t never happenin’
“Its for the children!” Nancy said once… now we know what she meant. Every vote counts… even if its a pedophiles!
These Democrats believe that crimes their illegal potential voters commit are just collateral damage is their “noble” quest to win every election.
Most democrats are obstructionist, voting against whatever republicans are in favor of. Arresting and deporting rapists would harm victims? What twisted thinking is that?
What plan to the Democrat politicians have for those illegals who commit serious crimes if they do not want them deported. Do they want them to continue their horrific behavior, especially those deported and somehow find their way back in the US?
Kinda’ makes one wonder how many of these bottom feeding 158 are card carrying members of NAMBLA and the like. They support all the other radical leftist groups out there, from Soros down. Just a thought…
May the perverts, pedos and rapists focus on the children and grandchildren of the 158. Awful statement…absolutely, but if the trash that does this is focused on their supporters then they are leaving me and mine alone. And, since they approve of those behaviors invite them over for lunch.
