Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) is taking the gloves off against foreign nationals who've been gaming America's welfare system, introducing bombshell legislation that would mandate swift deportation for non-citizens convicted of fraud while the Trump administration's investigations expose rampant corruption in Democrat-controlled states.
The Arkansas conservative's new bill, dropped Thursday, sets mandatory minimum sentences for foreign fraudsters and creates automatic deportation triggers for those caught stealing from hardworking American taxpayers. This comes as President Trump's second-term crackdown on welfare abuse reveals the shocking extent of fraud that flourished under the Biden regime.
"We're done playing games with people who come to our country and immediately start ripping off the system," Cotton declared, as Trump administration investigators dig deeper into what sources describe as systematic welfare fraud concentrated in blue states that rolled out the red carpet for illegal immigrants.
Democrat States Under the Microscope
The timing couldn't be more perfect. While Cotton pushes for tougher penalties, Trump's team is uncovering evidence of widespread fraud that exploded during Biden's open-border disaster. Sources familiar with the investigations tell us that certain Democrat-run states essentially looked the other way as foreign nationals—many here illegally—milked welfare programs for millions.
"This isn't just about a few bad actors. We're talking about organized fraud that Democrat politicians either ignored or actively enabled," one administration source revealed.
Cotton's legislation would end the revolving door of foreign fraudsters who currently face minimal consequences for stealing from programs meant to help struggling Americans. Under his plan, conviction equals deportation—no exceptions, no sob stories, no activist judges letting criminals stay.
The senator's move perfectly complements President Trump's broader agenda of putting America First and ending the welfare magnet that draws fraudsters to our shores. Combined with the ongoing investigations into Democrat state failures, we're finally seeing real accountability after four years of Biden administration negligence.
Patriots across America are watching closely as Trump's team exposes just how badly the previous administration failed to protect taxpayer dollars. The question now: how many Democrat officials will be held accountable for enabling this massive theft from the American people?
