Almost 200 House Dems vote against deporting people who commit welfare fraud

[FoxNews] Dave Taylor's Deporting Fraudsters Act passes despite Democratic opposition, faces uphill battle in Senate

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigrants participating in welfare fraud despite fierce objections from most Democrats.

Lawmakers voted 231-186 to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats opposing the measure.

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 are no longer eligible for immigration relief services or legal protections.

"If you admit to or you’re 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.
