Washington, D.C. - In an effort to combat social security fraud, Rep. Barry Moore has voted in favor of H.R. 6678, the Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act. This legislation, sponsored by Rep. McClintock (R-CA), aims to ensure that illegal immigrants who engage in social security fraud and other identification document fraud are not only inadmissible but also removable from the United States.

The motivation behind this legislation is to protect American taxpayers who have diligently contributed to the Social Security system. Rep. Moore emphasized the importance of safeguarding the benefits that hardworking Americans have earned over the years. He expressed concern that the current open border policies under the Biden administration allow illegal immigrants to easily defraud the system and steal the benefits that rightfully belong to U.S. citizens.

"American taxpayers spend years paying into Social Security and look forward to using those benefits in retirement," said Rep. Moore. "Biden's open border policies allow illegal immigrants to throw their identification down before crossing the border and defraud Social Security to steal the benefits of hardworking Americans. In 2017 alone, 1.2 million illegals used Social Security numbers that belonged to someone else. Rep. McClintock's legislation holds these illegals accountable for stealing from the American people."

The Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act seeks to address this issue by making it clear that those who engage in social security fraud will face serious repercussions, including deportation. By holding illegal immigrants accountable for their actions and preventing them from exploiting the system, this legislation aims to protect the integrity of the Social Security program and ensure that it remains sustainable for future generations.

It is worth noting that the legislation sponsored by Rep. McClintock aligns with the concerns of many Americans who believe that stronger measures are needed to address the issue of social security fraud committed by illegal immigrants. The legislation serves as a reminder of the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and the need to strike a balance between compassion and the enforcement of laws.

Rep. Moore's support for this legislation highlights his commitment to protecting the interests of American taxpayers and ensuring the proper functioning of the Social Security system. By voting in favor of the Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act, he is sending a clear message that those who defraud the system will not go unpunished.
