BLOCKBUSTER 231-186 VOTE — The Democratic Party is Never Coming Back from This
Washington, D.C. - June 11, 2026
House Passes Deporting Fraudsters Act to Make Public Benefits Fraud Deportable Offense for Noncitizens
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 231-186 on Wednesday to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act, legislation that would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to classify fraud involving public benefits as a deportable offense.
The measure was introduced by Rep. David Taylor (R-Ohio) and is intended to strengthen enforcement against noncitizens who defraud taxpayer-funded programs such as welfare and other public assistance.
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said during floor debate:
“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.”
Republicans argued the bill closes loopholes and ensures that those who abuse public benefits are removed from the country and barred from reentry.
Most Democrats opposed the legislation, describing it as unnecessary and redundant because existing law already permits deportation for noncitizens convicted of fraud. They also expressed concerns about due process protections.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) stated:
“Another week, another redundant and completely unnecessary immigration crime bill.”
Raskin further warned that the bill could allow deportation without a criminal conviction, potentially denying victims their day in court.
Republicans responded that the measure preserves existing legal processes and does not prevent criminal prosecution prior to removal.
The bill now advances to the Senate, where it is expected to face strong Democratic opposition and will likely require 60 votes to overcome procedural hurdles.
In a separate development highlighting Republican momentum, RNC Chairman Joe Gruters said on Breitbart that the party is positioned to outspend Democrats or reach financial parity in the 2026 midterm cycle for the first time in recent history.
Gruters stated the RNC currently holds approximately $125 million, while the DNC has reported negative cash reserves. He estimated the broader conservative collective could have access to around $800 million compared with roughly $350 million on the left side.

Gruters added that Republican Senate and House committees each hold about $80 million and that unified coordination across the conservative movement provides a significant structural advantage heading into the midterms.
