Mace's bill that would ensure undocumented immigrants convicted of sex
offenses are deported or deemed inadmissible to the country.
The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act passed in a 266-158

Mace told WCIV in Charleston, South Carolina, that the legislation will
protect women across the country.
"We are fed up with headlines about women losing their lives or becoming victims of assailants who trespassed into our country illegally under

about immigrants, instead of working together to fix the immigration
system," Jayapal said during a debate on the bill.
"I probably shouldn't be too surprised. Scapegoating immigrants and
