Bill > HR1958

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand grounds for inadmissibility and deportability for non-citizens who have been convicted of, admitted to, or committed acts involving fraud against the United States government or unlawful receipt of public benefits. Specifically, the bill adds new provisions that would make an alien (non-citizen) inadmissible or deportable if they have been convicted of or admitted to committing offenses related to defrauding the government or improperly receiving federal, state, or local public benefits. The bill references specific definitions of public benefits from the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, and includes conspiracy to commit such offenses as grounds for inadmissibility or deportation. This means that non-citizens who are found to have committed fraud or illegally obtained public benefits could be prevented from entering the United States or could be removed from the country, strengthening immigration enforcement against individuals who misuse government resources or benefits.
