This amendment expands the already tough grounds of inadmissibility and the criminal penalties in the current immigration law. We target essentially the same provisions as Senator CORNYN but in many instances go further. This amendment bars the admission of sex offenders who dont register as required and makes them subject to deportation as well. ft ensures that wife beaters. child abusers. stalkers. and others who prey on the vulnerable are inadmissible to the United States. It ensures that a drunk driver who is sentenced to 1 year of prison cannot be admitted to the United States and can be removed as well. Our drunk driving provisions. which require only one felony conviction. are even more restrictive than Senator CORNYNS. which requires three convictions before a drunk driver becomes inadmissible. We increase the penalties for illegal entry. We ensure that immigration fraud is subject to perjury charges. We toughen the penalties for firearm offenses. We are tough. but we are practical too.
