Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new paragraph to INA § 237(a)(2) making any alien convicted of a felony or two misdemeanors (state or federal) deportable after admission. This expands immigration enforcement by increasing the number of criminal convictions that trigger deportability, with no offsetting restrictions or limits on enforcement.
