Bill > S3606

This bill, titled the "Fraud Accountability Act," aims to strengthen consequences for individuals convicted of fraud. Specifically, it amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make any alien convicted of a crime involving fraud, regardless of the amount lost, deportable, meaning they can be removed from the United States. This is a significant change as it removes a previous threshold for what constituted a serious enough fraud to warrant deportation. Furthermore, the bill mandates that any court that convicts a naturalized United States citizen of a criminal offense, including fraud, must automatically revoke their citizenship and cancel their naturalization certificate, granting these courts the authority to do so. The provisions regarding denaturalization apply to fraud committed on or after September 30, 1996, as long as the individual was not arrested, charged, or indicted for it before the bill becomes law.
