H.R. 58
Voter Integrity Protection Act
In Plain Language
This bill makes it a serious felony for undocumented immigrants who vote in federal elections, which can lead to deportation and prevent them from ever becoming citizens. It also makes any undocumented immigrant who knowingly votes in a federal election deportable. The bill treats voting by undocumented immigrants as an aggravated felony, which has major immigration consequences beyond just deportation.
Official Congressional Research Service summary
Voter Integrity Protection Act This bill imposes additional immigration-related penalties for non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who vote in an election for federal office. 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.) A non-U.S. national who is unlawfully present and who knowingly violates the prohibition against voting in a federal election shall be deportable.
