House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., has introduced a plan to end the rampant fraud not only in his home state of Minnesota but across the country.

In response to massive amounts of fraud uncovered in Minnesota—most prominently at the hands of the state’s large Somali population—Emmer has introduced the SCAM Act to denaturalize fraudsters, terrorists, and felons throughout the country.
“If you came to this country to harm and take advantage of the American people, I’ve got news for you: You’re going home,” Emmer said in a press release of the announcement.
Emmer introduced the SCAM Act, or the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act, on Tuesday.
“Some naturalized citizens have treated their new citizenship status as a purely administrative benefit they can leverage for their own personal gain,” Emmer told The Daily Signal. “They won’t get away with that anymore,” Emmer added.

The legislation notes that, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, during the naturalization process, applicants must demonstrate that they are persons of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well-disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.
The SCAM Act would clarify what good moral character means and allow the government to prove that a person did not meet the requirements. Anyone who has been convicted of government welfare fraud, is affiliated with a transnational criminal organization like a terror group or a drug cartel, or convicted of an aggravated felony within 10 years of naturalization is in jeopardy of being denaturalized.
“The SCAM Act will expand and clarify the grounds for denaturalization, making it easier to denaturalize criminals who commit fraud, an aggravated felony, espionage, or join a terrorist group within ten years of their naturalization,” said Emmer.
There are about 7 million people in the U.S. who have been naturalized in the past 10 years who would be subject to denaturalization if found guilty of any of the crimes Emmer lists.
The Department of Justice recently launched an investigation into multiple Minnesota state officials, including Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, to uncover if there is a connection to the fraud schemes.
The DOJ has charged roughly 100 people in Minnesota with fraud-related charges as of late. A large majority of them are of Somali descent.
The Treasury Department and the IRS have also launched multiple investigations and audits throughout the state related to fraud.
Senator Eric Schmitt just introduced ‘The SCAM Act’, which would revoke the citizenship of legal migrants who commit fraud and serious felonies, including the Somalis in Minnesota:
“It’s evidence they never qualified for citizenship in the first place”

The Senate is pushing a similar piece of legislation, also called the SCAM Act, introduced by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., the day prior.

Lord, we are thankful that our representatives want to support legislation that would make denaturalization easier when foreigners come into this county and harm others with their plots, schemes and fraudulent acts. We ask that this legislation go forth and be successful to protect all Americans. Border protection is not enough, if they are allowed to enter and cause so much harm to others. God, we ask for mercy for your people.
Praise God for these right efforts. Lord, deliver us from evil. Forgive us for lack of discernment; lack of obedience to YOUR truth. Have mercy on us. Open our eyes and raise up pastors to teach the truth. Deliver many ‘Sauls’ from the depths of Islam to conversion by Holy Spirit to KNOW Jesus as Lord and Savior!! Fill our hearts and minds with Your glory and your word, your Holy Spirit so we might KNOW Truth and recognize what is false. SCAM Act! INDEED! May many people be educated of the systematic subversion of our nation, our communities and SCHOOLS! Ashamed of Christian expressions, yet accommodating, even teaching Islam, while Americans are looking another direction. THANK YOU, God for legal clarity of Rep Emmer and Sen Schmit. May Your Name be praised and glorified, Lord. Your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Christ followers must acquaint themselves with the Word of God, the Bible. Luciferic attempts at confusing people with Islamic phiolosophies, posing as a religion, has indeed caught Jesus’s followers off gard. “My people are destoryed through lack of knowledge.” This bible fact serves as a warning and wakeup call to us in the USA regarding sharia law. Deception has been the signature of satan from the beginning. Any joran surah requiring lying to promote its agenda is clearly in opposition to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Intercessors, I will be on the MINNESOTA IFA STATE PRAYER CALL tonight. (MONDAY, 7 P.M. Phone: 667-930-8252; ACCESS CODE: 3666604) Tom Emmer’s bill, the SCAM ACT, is a step in the right direction. How wise to create a path to denaturalize fraudsters! A prayer: “Father, we adore You! Righteous anger in our hearts over all that has been exposed in MN. Zephaniah 3:17 says: The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; he will exult over you with loud singing.” I rejoice over every investigation launched by the Department of Justice over MN state officials. If a connection is found to fraud schemes I pray that justice will prevail & they will be prosecuted. Thank You that leadership is arising from MN to address corruption in America. You are very good at bringing “beauty from ashes”. Let Your church arise & pray ceaselessly for MN & America! In Jesus name I pray this. Amen.”
Bless you, Patricia!!! Praise God
LOVE AMERICA

Yes!! Finally, someone is stepping up to do something to correct this heinous act against the people of America. This should have been done long ago. Upholding our Constitution is the first step. We will pray for our leaders to stand up for this Act and for righteousness to uphold it thru to it’s entirety. Thank you.
