U.S. Senator Tim Scott, along with Senator Bill Hagerty and 11 other Senate colleagues, has introduced the Protect Our Communities From DUIs Act. The legislation aims to prevent illegal migrants who have committed a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offense from entering the U.S. and mandates the automatic deportation of illegal migrants who commit DUIs within the United States.

Senator Scott criticized President Biden's stance on DUI offenses committed by illegal immigrants, stating, "President Biden’s willful act to protect illegal immigrants who break the law over American citizens is a disgrace." He emphasized the importance of prioritizing the safety of American communities, especially as migrant crime rates rise.

The Protect Our Communities From DUIs Act has garnered support from several other senators, including Marsha Blackburn, Katie Britt, Ted Budd, and others. The legislation underscores the need for Congress to prioritize the safety and well-being of American citizens above all else.

Senator Scott has been a vocal advocate for pushing back against the Biden administration's open border policies and has consistently fought to protect Americans from potential threats posed by illegal immigration. The introduction of the Protect Our Communities From DUIs Act is another step in his ongoing efforts to safeguard the interests of American citizens.
