Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that aliens who have been convicted of defrauding the United States Government or unlawfully receiving public benefits are inadmissible and deportable.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand grounds for inadmissibility and deportability for non-citizens who commit fraud against the United States government or unlawfully receive public benefits. Specifically, the bill adds new provisions that make an alien (non-citizen) inadmissible and deportable if they have been convicted of, admitted committing, or conspired to commit offenses involving fraud against the government or unlawful receipt of federal, state, or local public benefits. The definitions of "public benefits" are referenced from the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, which provides specific legal definitions for federal, state, and local public benefits. By adding these provisions to existing immigration law, the bill creates clearer legal grounds for preventing individuals who have committed fraud from entering or remaining in the United States, effectively expanding the government's ability to remove non-citizens who have engaged in fraudulent activities.
