House Narrowly Passes Welfare Fraud Crackdown on Illegal Immigrants Despite Democratic Opposition

The House just passed a bill aimed at cracking down on welfare fraud committed by illegal immigrants, and most Democrats voted against it. According to Fox News, the Deporting Fraudsters Act passed by a 231–186 vote. The bill would make fraud a deportable offense under immigration law, with Republicans arguing that noncitizens who steal taxpayer-funded benefits should not be allowed to stay protected by legal loopholes.
