AN ACT To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that aliens who have been convicted of defrauding the United States Government or the unlawful receipt of public benefits are inadmissible and deportable.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026," amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make it clearer that non-citizens convicted of defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving public benefits are both inadmissible, meaning they can be denied entry into the country, and deportable, meaning they can be removed from the country. Specifically, it adds new categories to existing laws that define who is inadmissible and deportable, covering a range of offenses including violations related to food assistance programs (like SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Social Security fraud, theft or bribery concerning federal funds, identification document fraud, major fraud against the U.S., mail fraud, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., and any other offense involving defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving federal, state, or local public benefits. Furthermore, individuals falling under these new provisions will be ineligible for any form of immigration relief.
