H.R. 30: Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act

H.R. 30 would make domestic violence, stalking, child abuse and sex offenses grounds for barring a non-citizen from entering the United States, and would widen the crimes for which a non-citizen can be deported. A non-citizen would be inadmissible after admitting to or being convicted of acts that make up stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, a sex offense, conspiracy to commit a sex offense, violating certain protection orders, or domestic violence.

The bill would also make any sex offense, including crimes against minors, or conspiracy to commit one, a ground for deportation. It would widen the domestic violence crimes that lead to deportation to include physical or sexual abuse, or a pattern of coercive behavior, within certain close relationships.
