WASHINGTON — U.S. House Republicans, along with 37 Democrats, passed Rep. Barry Moore’s bill that would make undocumented immigrants who drive drunk or impaired eligible for deportation.
Moore, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said the bill, The Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act, was in honor of a couple from Enterprise who were killed by a migrant drunk driver while they were riding a motorcycle.
“Their lives were cut short by the senseless act,” Moore, R-Enterprise, said on the House floor. “Tragedies like this are not uncommon across this country.”
In 2023, 12,429 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. There is no data on how many crashes involve noncitizens.
