Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act

HR 6678 would add Social Security fraud to U.S. immigration law as grounds for denying entry or deportation. Specifically, non-citizens convicted of or admitting to fraud involving Social Security numbers (42 U.S.C. 408) or fake identification documents (18 U.S.C. 1028), including conspiracy to commit these acts, could be barred from entering the U.S. or removed from the country. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to include these offenses under existing inadmissibility (Section 212(a)(2)(J)) and deportability (Section 237(a)(2)(G)) provisions. This directly affects non-citizens who commit these specific frauds, not the general public or U.S. citizens.
