The House of Representatives passed on Thursday the Agent Raul Gonzalez Safety Act, which determines that migrants who evade Border Patrol in high-speed chases become ineligible for asylum and enables their deportation from the country. The bill also imposes a life sentence if someone is killed during the chase or apprehension.
The bill passed with bipartisan support, with 50 Democrats joining all Republicans present in support. 155 Democrats voted against it.
