Texas Republican Rep. Troy Nehls introduced legislation Wednesday that would amend the Crime Victims Fund (CVF) to expand funds to angel families, who are related to victims of homicide by an illegal immigrant.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the legislation, which is titled the Justice for Angel Families Act. The bill’s introduction comes just days after an illegal immigrant from Mexico reportedly killed a man, Cecil George, in Stafford, Texas.

“Under the so-called ‘leadership’ of Joe Biden, terrorists, rapists, murders, and other bad hombres are infiltrating our country and committing violent crimes, sometimes taking the life of an American citizen,” Nehls told the Caller before introducing the legislation.

“Just this week, an illegal alien in my district was involved in a hit-and-run crash, resulting in the death of one of my constituents. Unfortunately, the relatives of my constituent are being left with the financial and emotional burden of the criminal acts of the illegal alien, with no support from the Biden Administration. Americans should not have to pay the consequences of an illegal alien’s criminal actions. I’m proud to reintroduce this legislation to support these families who fall victim to illegal alien crime so they can focus on what is important—grieving and rebuilding after losing their loved ones,” Nehls added.

Nehls was joined by Nevada Rep. Don Bacon, Florida Rep. Kat Cammack and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar in cosponsoring the legislation.

The legislation also picked up the support of National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE), Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime (AVIAC) and Texans for Strong Borders.
