Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
<p><b>Voter Integrity Protection Act</b></p> <p>This bill imposes additional immigration-related penalties for non-U.S. nationals (<i>aliens</i> under federal law) who vote in an election for federal office.</p> <p> It shall be an aggravated felony for a non-U.S. national who is unlawfully present to violate an existing prohibition against a non-U.S. national voting in a federal election. (An aggravated felony conviction carries various immigration consequences, such as rendering the non-U.S. national inadmissible, deportable, and barred from establishing good moral character for naturalization.)</p> <p>A non-U.S. national who is unlawfully present and who knowingly violates the prohibition against voting in a federal election shall be deportable.</p>
The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.
The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
