The U.S. House of Representatives just passed landmark legislation aimed at slamming the door shut on illegal immigrants who have been shamelessly looting welfare programs designed for citizens only.
The bill, dubbed the “Deporting Fraudsters Act,” passed by a vote of 231–186, with nearly every Democrat voting against it and Republicans uniting behind the measure.
The legislation would amend federal immigration law to make welfare fraud a deportable offense, ensuring that illegal immigrants caught defrauding taxpayer-funded programs can be removed from the country.
Republican lawmakers framed the bill as a long-overdue safeguard for American taxpayers, arguing that public benefits should be reserved strictly for U.S. citizens and legal residents.
