U.S. Representative Tracey Mann from Kansas has cast his vote in favor of H.R. 30, known as the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act. This legislative measure, which was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives with a vote tally of 274-145, aims to set grounds for inadmissibility and deportation of illegal migrants convicted or admitting to sex crimes or domestic violence. The bill also addresses a loophole that allows individuals with domestic violence convictions to enter the United States.

Rep. Mann expressed his concerns following the vote: "One of Kansans’ top concerns is the wide-open border," said Rep. Mann. "Under President Biden’s failed leadership, more than 16 million illegal immigrants entered the country without any formal vetting or background checks." He highlighted statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, stating, "Since October 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has convicted more than 1,500 cases related to assault, battery, domestic violence, and sexual offenses by individuals in the country illegally."

He further elaborated on his support for H.R. 30: "We cannot and should not allow women and children to be put at risk in pursuit of a radical, out-of-touch political agenda. I supported the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act because it is a common sense, no brainer solution to keep bad actors out of the country and keep our women and children safe."

Rep. Mann has consistently raised alarms regarding President Biden's border policies since assuming office. He recently backed the Laken Riley Act requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest illegal immigrants committing crimes until their removal from the country can be arranged.

His efforts include supporting legislation aimed at preventing federal land use for housing illegal migrants, completing construction on the border wall, and holding the current administration accountable for perceived failures in enforcing border laws.

H.R. 30 will now move forward to be considered by the U.S. Senate.
