US House of Representatives Passes Bill Allowing Gov't to Easily Deport Immigrants Who Commit Violent Crimes

The United States House of Representatives has passed a Bill allowing the government to easily deport immigrants who commit violent crimes.

The new piece of legislation, dubbed "The Community Safety and Security Act", defines what  a violent crime is and addresses an issue in a previous law that was earlier this year declared vague by the US Supreme Court.

The previous law stated that government can deport an immigrant found engaging in a “crime of violence" but did not state what constitutes violent crimes.

The new bill lists the following as crimes of violence that qualify for a perpetrator's deportation: murder, voluntary manslaughter, assault, sexual abuse or aggravated sexual abuse, abusive sexual contact, child abuse, kidnapping, robbery, carjacking, firearms use, burglary, arson, extortion, communication of threats, coercion, fleeing, interference with flight crew members and attendants, domestic violence, hostage taking, stalking, human trafficking, piracy

In a tweet, President Donald Trump hailed the passing of the Bill by the Republican-controlled House.

"Under our horrible immigration laws, the Government is frequently blocked from deporting criminal aliens with violent felony convictions. House GOP just passed a bill to increase our ability to deport violent felons (Crazy Dems opposed). Need to get this bill to my desk fast!" Trump said.

The legislation will however need to be passed by the Senate before President Trump sign it into law.

I agree with stalking. It’s creepy and frequently lead to serious crimes like murder, rape etc. i think the assault one is open for various interpretation. I know a lady who caught a felony assault( assaulting a federal officer) charge for spitting towards a postman. I wonder what would constitute verbal abuse in this case

Wamarekani wa asili ya Yuropa wanadhani au wanafikiria ya kwamba, nchi (Marekani)ambayo mababu zao waliiba na kuwaua wenye nchi ni yao!

Hamna tofauti na jinsi Waingereza walivyofanya walipoiba nchi ya Kenya na kuifanya yao na vile Wanayuropa walivyofanya walipoiba nchi ya Marekani na kuifanya nchi yao.

Waswahili husema, "MWENYE NGUVU MPISHE."

@ Imara, you hit the nail on the head.This law is "coded".Its obvious that the current administration views people from shithole(thirld world) countries as the perpetrators of these crimes.It is as though if an american(born) commits them its less serious.
One thing that is obvious in many racists minds,but too sensitive to bring about is," if a naturatilized citizen commits one of these serious crimes,withing 2 years ,or less of becoming a citizen,his or her citizenship should be revoked".Dont be fooled,many would love this to happen.Naturalized americans are never fully embraced as american citizens.Case in point, when Gheb, the naturalized Eritian won the Boston Marathon after Kenyans ( foreigners) had dominated for years, some news papers went as far as questioning if Gheb was "real american".
Yes the TRUE american,or should I say the real american is the so called American Indian.Those whom foreigners found here,and mercilessly took their land,not to mention oppressed them as well.

I am just sitting at home predicting these news from mwakilishi........Diaspora remittances increased 120% in the month of September. Yes, when they scare us, we remember to transfer our savings to equity bank.

Ndugu@Maxiley:

Nimekwenda kuwatembelea wenye nchi (The Indigenous People) mahali walisukumwa na majambazi kutoka Yuropa. Hali yao ni mbaya sana hata kuliko tunakotoka!

Hawapendi kubandikwa majina ya ajabu na kuitwa "American Indian." Unajua, Christopher Columbus alipofika hapa tuliopo, alifikiri ya kwamba alikuwa amefika nchi ya India. Ndiyo sababu akawaita "Indian."

Wenyenchi ambao ni kama mataifa 500, wanapendwa kuitwa mataifa yao kama walivyojiita kabla majambazi ya Yuropa kufika hapa.

Si watu wote kutoka Yuropa walikuwa majambazi! Yuropa ina mataifa mengi. Mataifa yaliyo majambazi kutoka Yuropa ni:

1. Waingereza

2. Wafaransa

3. Wadachi

4. Wareno (Portuguese)

5. Waspania

6. Wajerumani

7. Wadenish

8. Wataliani

9. Warusi

10 Wabeljiji

Ukitazama ramani (map) ya dunia yote, utaona jinsi hawa ndugu kumi walivyonyakua nchi za wenyewe. Jambo la ajabu ni kuwa majambazi hawa wote ni wafuasi wa dini ya Mwana Mariamu - Yeshua/Yesu. Majambazi hawa kutoka Yuropa walinyakua: Greenland, Canada, Marekani, Mexico, nchi zote za Marekani ya Kati na ya Kusini, visiwa vyote vya Caribbean, Australia, Tasmani, New Zeland, na Visiwa vyote vilivyomo bahari ya Pacific. Afrika ilinusurika kunyakuliwa kabisa lakini ikaokolewa kwa bahati tu wakati vita ya Pili ya dunia ilipoanza na kuwamaliza nguvu Waingereza na Wafaransa.

Popote Ndugu hawa kumi walipokwenda, waliwabandika watu majina yao, mila yao, imani yao, na hata kubadilisha watu kula chakula chao. Ndio sababu mimi nasema ya kwamba, TUCHUKUE TEKNOLOJIA YAO peke yake halafu tuitumie kujenga mataifa yetu.
