Violence Against Women By Illegal Aliens Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. MACE. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Jim Jordan for his leadership.

I find the debate on my bill, the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, shameful. I, myself, am a survivor of rape. I understand the lifelong trauma as someone who has survived rape, as someone who has been in a domestic violence situation where I was also the victim.

I don't want to hear it. If you are here illegally at all, you should be gone. Today, we are only dealing with a very limited number of issues, meaning the worst of the worst, the criminal illegal aliens who are here illegally, committing some of the worst crimes against women and underage girls.

Joe Biden and border czar Kamala Harris have opened the floodgates, welcoming countless criminal illegal aliens into our country to prey upon American women and American girls.

Thanks to the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, these criminal illegal aliens who have no business, they have no right to step foot into our country now roam the streets of our communities, inflicting senseless acts of sexual and domestic violence and murder while they hurt American women and girls.

These Biden-Harris criminal illegal aliens have molested American children, battered and bruised American spouses, and violently raped American women and girls.

In April 2022, an illegal alien was arrested in my home State of South Carolina for sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl, after being previously deported not once but twice.

In May of 2022, an illegal alien and Guatemalan national raped and impregnated a 9-year-old girl in Ohio.

In April 2023, an illegal alien broke into a woman's house in Indiana in the middle of the night, physically assaulted her, and held a box cutter to her throat while he raped her.

In July 2023, an illegal alien and Honduran national raped a 13-year- old girl in neighboring Virginia, just 25 miles from where we stand today.

In March of this year, an illegal alien followed a woman from a train station, grabbed her, robbed her, and sexually assaulted her.

On March 25th of this year, an illegal alien was arrested and charged with raping a mentally incapacitated 14-year-old girl in Alabama.

On May 13th of this year, a serial rapist illegal alien was arrested in California for raping two women in a van which authorities referred to as his ``rape dungeon on wheels.''

In April of this year, an illegal alien was charged after breaking into a mobile home in Michigan and viciously sexually assaulting two young girls under the age of 13.

In May of this year, an illegal alien abducted an 11-year-old girl in Florida, forcing her into his van and brutally raping her.

On June 17th of this year, two illegal aliens raped and strangled 12- year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Texas.

Just last month, an illegal alien was arrested after raping a 10- year-old boy in Mississippi.

Earlier this month, an illegal alien convicted of a violent assault in Massachusetts was released and went on to rape a child.

This is hardly an exhaustive list. We see more tragedies like these with every passing week. The blood and the physical and emotional scars of these tragedies rest on the hands of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Not only has the Biden-Harris administration caused this problem, they are actively enabling it.

Listen to this. In a September of 2021 memo, Secretary Mayorkas specifically argued domestic violence shouldn't be categorical grounds to apprehend and remove an illegal alien. How many American women and girls have been battered and bloodied due to this insanity?

Under my bill, any illegal alien who commits a sex crime or act of domestic violence is inadmissible to our country and immediately deportable.

We shouldn't let them into our country under any circumstances, and if we catch them, we send them back. They have to go.

As a survivor of rape, I know firsthand the devastating toll these heinous acts can take on a woman and the lifelong scars and the lifelong trauma that they leave behind. One woman or one child violated by an illegal alien is one too many.

Each and every sex crime or act of domestic violence committed by an illegal alien was preventable. They have no single right to be here today.

I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put politics aside and protect American women and children from being victimized by criminal illegal aliens.
