While the bill has some bipartisan support, immigration enforcement measures often face significant hurdles and gridlock in a divided Congress.

Key Points

  • This bill changes immigration law to label certain drunk driving crimes as aggravated felonies. It specifically targets cases where a person drives under the influence of alcohol or drugs and causes someone else to die or suffer a serious injury.
  • If this becomes law, any non-citizen convicted of such a crime would be barred from entering the United States. This rule applies even if the person admits to the crime but was not formally charged with a felony in a local court.
  • The new rules would allow the government to deport non-citizens who have these specific convictions on their record. This would apply to past crimes as well as new ones once the law is signed.
  • The bill covers driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal narcotics, or any other intoxicating substance. It treats these offenses the same way whether they happened in the United States or in a foreign country.
