as they would not want their partners deported. Others are saying this is already the law.

I am not really buying either of those as a legitimate reason not to vote for it. If it is already the law then this just reiterates that. If someone is violent enough to have to call the police for domestic violence then the perpetrator needs to be removed from their partner and this country if they don't have a right to be here.
