| Message | So, if a foreign diplomat commits rape, he is expelled from the country? That's a real deterrent, right? We think not. |

| Message | This bill guarantees foreign governments that their delegations will be protected, and will not be prosecuted unfairly. If what you described happens - which is highly unlikely, we can expel him, revoke his credential, and request the foreign government to turn him over for a trial, if needed. That's how civilized world works. |
