Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving

This bill, HR 8302, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to change how certain driving offenses are treated for immigration purposes. It expands the definition of an "aggravated felony" to include offenses where a non-citizen drives while intoxicated or impaired and causes death or serious bodily injury to another person, regardless of whether the conviction is classified as a misdemeanor or felony under local law. Consequently, any non-citizen convicted of such an offense would be deemed "inadmissible" to the United States. These provisions take effect upon enactment and apply to relevant actions taken on or after that date, even if the underlying conviction occurred before the bill's passage.
