When someone comes to our country illegally and commits crimes, they should not get to stay here and hide behind loopholes,\u201d Fedorchak said. \u201cThese bills strengthen existing law, speed up deportations of criminal illegal immigrants, and give federal officials the tools they need to protect our communities.\u201d\n\nIt also allows an alien\u2019s own admission of fraud to trigger deportation, making sure prosecutors cannot shield individuals by avoiding formal convictions. The legislation permanently bars anyone who defrauds the United States from receiving immigration relief, making clear that those who exploit American taxpayers cannot remain in the country indefinitely.\n\nThe Federal Working Animal Protection Act protects America\u2019s law enforcement animals by making any alien who harms them inadmissible and removable from the United States.
