America is bleeding from within, hemorrhaged by foreign fraudsters who exploit our generosity, steal billions from hardworking taxpayers, and laugh all the way back to their homelands. As we all now know, the Minnesota fraud scandal—where Somali-run schemes posing as daycare centers, food programs, and health clinics siphoned off an estimated $9 billion in federal funds—isn't just a local outrage; it's a national emergency.
This brazen theft, unfolding under the watch of disinterested government officials, has destroyed lives, eroded trust, and exposed gaping holes in our immigration system. But finally, a group of principled Senate Republicans, led by Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, is fighting back with Senate Bill 3606, the Fraud Accountability Act. This legislation sends a clear message: if you are a non-citizen fraudster—or if you obtained citizenship and then betray this country by committing fraud—there will be a high price to pay.

For too long, we've allowed criminals to game the system, hiding behind outdated laws that protect the guilty while punishing the innocent. The Immigration and Nationality Act, enacted in the 1950s, has become a relic, riddled with loopholes that let fraudsters off the hook unless their theft tops $10,000.
S. 3606 shatters that absurdity by making any fraud conviction a deportable offense, with no dollar threshold. It mandates detention for noncitizens during deportation proceedings, ensuring they can't vanish into the shadows. And for naturalized citizens who betray their oath by committing fraud? Automatic denaturalization—revoking the privilege of American citizenship they disrespected. This bill even includes a retroactivity clause, reaching back to fraud committed on or after September 30, 1996, to root out long-buried crimes. No more safe havens for scammers; any court can handle these cases, streamlining justice and slamming the door on endless appeals.
No excuses. No loopholes. No special treatment.
