Bill Summary

A BILL To subject aliens convicted of fraud to deportation and to bestow concurrent jurisdiction to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized United States citizen convicted of fraud on any court that enters such a conviction.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Fraud Accountability Act," aims to strengthen consequences for individuals convicted of fraud by making it easier to deport non-citizens and revoke the citizenship of naturalized citizens. Specifically, it amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure that any alien convicted of a crime involving fraud, regardless of the amount of money involved, is subject to deportation, and it also mandates that courts automatically revoke the citizenship of any naturalized citizen convicted of a crime that would make them deportable. This means that courts that convict a naturalized citizen of certain crimes will now have the authority to cancel their citizenship, and this provision applies to fraudulent conduct that occurred after September 30, 1996, as long as the individual was not already arrested or charged for it before the bill becomes law.
