Rep. Moore Cracks Down on Drunk Driving Immigrants

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is fighting to keep our streets safe with his latest bill, aimed at preventing what he calls "liberal states" from releasing undocumented immigrants charged with serious crimes back into our communities.

The "Protect Our Communities Act"

Moore's bill, the Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act of 2025, recently cleared the Judiciary Committee. The gist? Any undocumented person convicted of, or admitting to, driving under the influence would face immediate deportation.

A Second Try

Moore tried to pass similar legislation last year, but it stalled in the Senate. He recently discussed the issue, highlighting tragic cases where repeat DUI offenders who were undocumented immigrants caused fatal accidents.

Bi-Partisan Support Fading?

While the bill has seen some bipartisan support in the past, Moore is now seeing resistance from Democrats on almost any type of immigration enforcement. He emphasized the importance of holding everyone accountable, stating, "It is an honor to be in this country. You are to treat it as a privilege. You shouldn't be out here, breaking our laws and risking our lives."
