Anyone that surprised by this is just not paying attention.
Democrats clearly stating that they don't care about women at all, and will gladly exchange their pain, suffering, and death for votes, illegal or not.
What a great party.
Full List of 158 Democrats Who Voted Against Sex Crime Ban on Immigrants
More than 150 Democrats voted against Republican Representative Nancy 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 vote on Wednesday. Every Republican present voted for the bill, as did 51 Democrats, while 158 Democrats voted against it.
The bill would also deport or deem inadmissible to the country undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of, or admit to having committed, sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse or violating a protection order.
It comes as immigration is among the most important issues on the minds of voters ahead of November's election, with former President Donald Trump and Republicans repeatedly claiming that President Joe Biden's immigration policies have led to a spike in violent crime by people who are in the country illegally. Studies have generally found no link between immigration and violent crime.
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 the Biden-Harris border crisis," Mace said. "This legislation sends a strong message: If you are an illegal who has committed acts of violence against women, you will not find sanctuary here."
She said those opposing the bill "voted against deporting rapists, pedophiles and murderers of women and kids."
Opponents of the bill said it was demonizing immigrants.
Representative Pramila Jayapal said the bill would hurt survivors of domestic violence, whom she said are often arrested, charged and convicted along with their abusers.
