HR 58 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Voter Integrity Protection Act
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make voting in a Federal election by an unlawfully present alien an aggravated felony, and for other purposes.
Summary
The Voter Integrity Protection Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish voting in federal elections by unlawfully present aliens as an aggravated felony and a deportable offense. The bill designates violations of federal voting laws by unlawfully present aliens as aggravated felonies under the immigration statute, which carries more severe immigration consequences than simple deportable offenses. It also creates a specific provision making unlawfully present aliens who knowingly violate federal voting laws subject to removal and deportation proceedings. These amendments apply to federal election violations committed by aliens unlawfully present in the United States.
