This bill would classify unlawful voting by non-citizens as an aggravated felony under federal immigration law, making it grounds for deportation. Currently, voting by non-citizens is a crime, but this legislation elevates it to a more serious category that triggers mandatory removal proceedings. The bill affects non-citizens, including lawful permanent residents and visa holders, who vote in any federal, state, or local election in violation of voting eligibility requirements. The legislation also declares such non-citizens inadmissible to the United States and removes certain deportability protections. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the bill text, as it primarily amends existing immigration law definitions and procedures.
