DOGE co-chair and X owner Elon Musk is correct on this one. Last September, the House passed a bill that would expel illegal[aliens] convicted of sex offenses. The vote then was all 215 Republicans present voted Aye, 58 Progressive-Democrats Aye, and 158 Progressive-Democrats Nay.
In addition to those deportations, the bill would
deem illegal [aliens] who admit to domestic violence or sex-related charges—or are convicted of them—to be inadmissible in the US.
Musk wants those shameful 158 voted out of office at the next election. He posted on X
There is no excuse. Please post the list of people who opposed this law and want to keep illegals who are convicted sex offenders in America[.]
Mario Nawfal, self-styled Host of the Largest Show on X:
WHY DID 158 DEMOCRATS VOTE TO KEEP SEX OFFENDERS IN THE U.S.?
In September 2024, the House passed a bill to deport undocumented immigrants convicted of sex crimes.
Every single Republican and 51 Democrats voted in favor. Shockingly, 158 Democrats opposed it.
The bill targeted rapists, pedophiles, domestic abusers, and stalkers, ensuring they couldn’t stay in the U.S.
Opponents claimed it “demonized immigrants,” but how does protecting convicted predators help anyone—especially their victims?
Deporting violent offenders isn’t “fearmongering”—it’s basic public safety.
Why would anyone vote to keep criminals who prey on women and children?

As a Texan, I’m most disgusted by those shameful nine; although, with Casar and Castro at the head of that list (if only alphabetically), I’m not at all surprised that these Progressive-Democrats are so protective of such heinous illegal aliens. Party has been all too protective of criminals and dismissive of victims these last years.
