I proudly co-sponsored the Deporting Fraudsters Act because it’s common sense: if you steal from the United States and the most vulnerable in our society, you have no right to be here.
Support legislation to deport aliens who defraud the United States government or unlawfully receive public benefits.
Occurrences
celebrated House passage of the Deporting Fraudsters Act, introduced by Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH), which he co-sponsors. This bill would render aliens, or non-U.S. nationals, inadmissible and deportable from the United States if they admit to, or are convicted of, defrauding the United States government.
Evidence
The site’s latest news says Carter cast a key vote for the Secure America Act, describing it as a budget reconciliation bill that fully funds Border Patrol and ICE.
The homepage also highlights his floor remarks on the same day, where he tied the vote to illegal immigration and called for ICE and Border Patrol funding.
Assessments
Carter has recent official-record evidence of supporting a major immigration-enforcement bill and publicly advocating stronger ICE and Border Patrol action in the current term. That gives him some credit on the deportation-enforcement portion of the promise. But the available evidence does not show that he specifically supported legislation aimed at deporting aliens for defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving public benefits, which is the narrower promise language. On this record, the promise is only partially fulfilled rather than fully delivered.
