House Democrats voted against legislation that would deport illegal alien drunk drivers from the United States following their convictions.
150 House Democrats voted on Wednesday against the “Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act” introduced by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL).
The bill would make sure driving grounds for ineligibility to be in the U.S.
The law would also make sure that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents can take illegal aliens convicted of drunk driving into their custody before being deported.
However, just 59 House Democrats voted for the bill, joining 215 House Republicans in passing it.
“There was a newlywed couple from my hometown of Enterprise, Alabama, named Angel and Jeremy Seay. I knew them personally,” Moore said on the House floor.
“Angel and Jeremy were riding their motorcycle together when an illegal immigrant under the influence of alcohol collided into them with his pickup. Their lives were cut dramatically short.”
“Sadly, tragedies like this are not uncommon across our country,” Moore said.
Also, this week, 155 House Democrats voted against new legislation that would ensure ICE agents can deport illegal aliens convicted of Social Security fraud against American citizens.
Just 55 House Democrats joined 217 House Republicans to pass the bill.
Social Security fraud by illegal aliens, is widespread.
In 2018, 39 million cases of identity theft by illegal aliens were reported, according to an Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) investigation.
The Washington Examiner reported on a “thriving black market” used by illegal immigrants to get Social Security numbers needed to get a job.
The outlet notes:
Their report draws attention to a move by former President Barack Obama to stop sending so-called “no match” letters to employers notifying them that numbers used by employees on the wage forms do not match their identity.
The change followed the president’s decision to approve amnesty for some 700,000 younger immigrants let into the U.S. under his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Some of those have been dubbed “dreamers.”
Several groups promoting immigration reform and limitations have shown that illegal immigrants compete with low-income Americans for jobs.
“The Social Security numbers of young children are especially sought by illegal aliens, as this theft is likely to go undetected for years. As children reach late teenage years and apply for credit for cars, student loans, and other needs, they may find that their credit has been compromised with mortgages, credit cards and criminal records attached to their identities,” said the group.
