Immigration Rules Tightened: Deportation for Government and Public Benefit Fraud.
This bill introduces stricter immigration rules targeting non-citizens involved in financial misconduct. Any non-citizen convicted of defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving public benefits (federal, state, or local) will be deemed both inadmissible and deportable. This change aims to safeguard taxpayer money and ensure public assistance programs are used correctly.
Key points
Non-citizens convicted of defrauding the U.S. government will be barred from entering the country (inadmissible).
The law makes non-citizens deportable if they are convicted of illegally receiving public benefits, such as welfare or food assistance.
