Bill > S3674

This bill, known as the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act or SCAM Act, aims to expand and clarify the reasons why someone could lose their U.S. citizenship after it has been granted through naturalization. It proposes that if a naturalized citizen is convicted of, admits to, or commits acts constituting fraud against any government (Federal, State, local, or tribal) totaling at least $10,000, or if they affiliate with a foreign terrorist organization, or if they commit an aggravated felony or espionage offense, this will be considered strong evidence that they were not of good moral character, attached to the U.S. Constitution, or well-disposed to the country's good order and happiness at the time they became a citizen. Such actions, if occurring within 10 years of naturalization, could lead to the revocation of their citizenship, making it as if they were never a citizen, and they could be subject to expedited removal from the country. The bill also includes a fallback provision stating that if the 10-year timeframe is found unconstitutional, it should be interpreted as a 5-year period.
