The House of Representatives narrowly passed legislation Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigrant welfare fraud, despite fierce objections from most Democrats.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers voted <\/strong>231-186 <\/strong>to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act with 186 Democrats opposing the measure.<\/p>\n

The bill, sponsored by Rep. David Taylor, R-Ohio, would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly define fraud as a deportable offense. Republicans said the legislation is necessary to ensure that noncitizens who steal taxpayer dollars<\/a> are no longer eligible for immigration relief services or legal protections.<\/p>\n

“If you admit to or you\u2019re convicted of fraudulently receiving public benefits, you are out of here on the next plane and can never return,” Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said Wednesday on the House floor.<\/p>\n

Democratic lawmakers largely opposed the GOP-authored bill, arguing that noncitizens convicted of fraud are already eligible for deportation.<\/p>\n

“Another week, another redundant and completely unnecessary immigration crime bill,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said during debate on the measure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Democrats also sharply criticized the measure for eroding legal immigrants\u2019 due process rights by permitting noncitizens to be deported prior to prosecutors securing a conviction.<\/p>\n

“By bypassing the conviction requirement, this legislation would hand a liberal get-out-of-jail free card to immigrants who commit fraud by deporting them without going through the criminal justice system and giving their victims a day in court,” Raskin said.<\/p>\n

GOP lawmakers<\/a> countered that there is no language in the bill that prevents noncitizens from being prosecuted for alleged fraud prior to removal from the country.<\/p>\n

The bill is likely dead on arrival in the Senate given widespread opposition from Democrats. Under Senate rules, most legislation must overcome a 60-vote threshold to advance to a vote on final passage.<\/p>\n

The vote follows heightened scrutiny from House Republicans on welfare fraud nationwide.<\/p>\n

The House Oversight Committee in December launched a probe into massive welfare fraud<\/u><\/a> involving Minnesota\u2019s social services programs. Federal prosecutors say as much as $9 billion in taxpayer money may have been stolen in various fraud schemes and have charged nearly 100 individuals, including many of Somali descent.<\/p>\n

House Republicans have also spotlighted reporting from independent journalist Nick Shirley, who has probed alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota and California.<\/p>\n

“We have already seen why action is needed,” Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., said Tuesday during a House GOP leadership news conference. “Independent journalist Nick Shirley helped expose a massive fraud scheme, showing how organized and widespread these scams can become even when oversight fails.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
