What this bill does

The bill bars non-U.S. nationals convicted of drunk or impaired driving from entering the United States.
It also makes such a conviction grounds for deporting non-U.S. nationals already in the country.
The law applies to those convicted of DUI or who admit to the offense's elements.

01
How should immigration enforcement balance public safety concerns about impaired driving with concerns about deportation for a single offense?
02
What evidence exists that excluding or deporting non-citizens convicted of DUI significantly reduces drunk driving incidents in the United States?
03
Would this policy affect legal permanent residents and visa holders differently, and should their immigration status influence DUI consequences?
