          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill establishes certain criminal grounds for making non-U.S. nationals (&lt;em&gt;aliens &lt;/em&gt;under federal law) inadmissible and expands the crimes for which a non-U.S. national is deportable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, the bill establishes that a non-U.S. national is inadmissible if the individual has admitted to or is convicted of acts constituting the essential elements of stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, a sex offense, conspiracy to commit a sex offense, a violation of certain protection orders, or domestic violence (including physical or sexual abuse or a pattern of coercive behavior when it occurs within certain close relationships).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next, the bill establishes additional grounds for deportation. Under current law, a non-U.S. national is deportable for certain criminal convictions, including domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse. The bill makes any sex offense (including crimes against minors) or conspiracy to commit a sex offense a basis for deportation. The bill also expands the domestic violence crimes that make a non-U.S. national deportable to include physical or sexual abuse or a pattern of coercive behavior when it occurs within certain close relationships.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
