Feenstra Backs Legislation to Deport Illegal Immigrants Who Steal Taxpayer-Funded Benefits

January 13, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) cosponsored the Deporting Fraudsters Act , which would ensure that illegal immigrants who defraud the U.S. government or steal taxpayer dollars are deported and inadmissible for re-entry into the United States. “Programs like Medicare and Social Security are vital taxpayer-funded programs and must be safeguarded against fraud. Illegal immigrants who fraudulently enroll and exploit these programs must be held accountable for their crimes,” said Rep. Feenstra . “That’s why I’m glad to support legislation to ensure that illegal immigrants who defraud taxpayers are deported and never allowed back into our country. I will always protect Iowa taxpayers from fraud and honor our promise to Iowa seniors and workers that they receive the benefits they have earned.” ###
