Congresswoman Mace Introduces Legislation to Protect Women from Violence by Illegal Aliens

(Washington D.C., April 9th, 2024) -- Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC01) unveiled the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act today. This bold legislative move is a direct response to the left's egregious exploitation of women for political gain while turning a blind eye to the very real threats posed by violent illegal aliens. This action not only helps to secure our border, it will protect women and children from by bringing justice and accountability where it is needed the most. 

"This legislation isn't just about protecting women like Laken Riley and countless others who have been brutalized by these lawless predators,” said Rep. Mace. “It's about exposing the presidential administration and the left's callous disregard for the safety and well-being of American women."

Under the proposed bill, aliens convicted of sex offenses or domestic violence, or those who admit to committing such atrocities, will be deemed inadmissible into the US, and those convicted of a sex offense or conspiracy to commit such an offense will be deported.

Congresswoman Mace's unwavering commitment to protecting women and upholding the rule of law exemplifies her dedication to serving the interests of all Americans.
