House Passes AMAC Action-Backed “Deporting Fraudsters Act” to Punish Illegal Alien Welfare Fraud

On Monday, the U.S. House approved the Deporting Fraudsters Act (H.R. 1958), legislation aimed at cracking down on individuals who steal taxpayer-funded benefits while unlawfully present in the United States. The bill will require the deportation of illegal aliens who commit fraud against federal programs and prevent them from returning to the country. AMAC Action was an early vocal supporter of the bill, highlighting the urgent need to stop widespread fraud that is draining taxpayer-funded programs. We are now urging the Senate to pass the legislation quickly and help restore accountability to these critical benefits programs.

AMAC Family Businesses and Farms Win Big Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts

For millions of Americans, family businesses, farms, and ranches represent a lifetime of hard work and a legacy meant to be passed on to the next generation. But for years, the federal estate tax, often called the “death tax,” has threatened to force families to sell those businesses just to cover a massive tax bill. Recent tax reforms championed by President Trump and congressional Republicans are helping change that by increasing and permanently expanding estate tax relief for family-owned enterprises. The new law offers greater certainty for small business owners and protects the livelihoods and legacies that so many seniors have spent decades building.

Legislation and Policy Support

Colorado House Bill 26-1110 – Adults’ Security and Safeguards from Exploitation in Transactions (ASSET) Act

Seniors are a prime target of fraudulent financial schemes. In Colorado, this act would build a safety net strong enough to withstand such exploitation by requiring a qualified individual at a financial institution to act when they suspect that a vulnerable adult is the victim of financial fraud. These individuals would be empowered to notify appropriate local law enforcement or the county agency managing adult protective services and notify a third party previously designated by or associated with the eligible adult. Additionally, disbursements may be delayed if exploitation is suspected until the results of an internal review or law enforcement investigation are available.

Updated Campaign: Encourage US Senate Support for the SAVE America Act

Over 80% of Americans back the bill’s provisions! This is an updated campaign from our previous effort in February.

Iowa HF 2601 – Stop Foreign Influence in Iowa Elections

HF 2601, a critical bill to ban foreign funding in ballot measure campaigns in Iowa, is at risk of being derailed by last minute amendments that would turn it into something entirely different. Instead of protecting election integrity, this amendment would undermine free speech and weaken the bill’s purpose—giving leadership an excuse to abandon it altogether.

Kentucky Senate Bill 51 – Lower Property Taxes for Seniors

This legislation proposes to create a new section of the Kentucky Constitution to exempt homeowners aged 65 years and older from increases in the valuation of their primary residence. The value of their primary residence would be locked in or frozen. SB 51 has already passed unanimously in the Senate and now the Kentucky House needs to approve it. Once the House approves it, SB 51 would head to voters for their approval in a statewide referendum. If you live in Kentucky, click here to learn more and contact your state senator.

Term of the Week: Balkanization

“Balkanization is a term used to describe the division or fragmentation of a larger sovereign state or region into smaller, often ethnically similar, regions or states. First coined in the early 19th century, the term comes from the breakup of the Balkan Peninsula, which was ruled almost entirely by the Ottoman Empire, into several smaller states between 1817 and 1912. It came into more common use in the immediate aftermath of World War I, about the many new states that arose from the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. While typically caused by differences in ethnicity, culture, and religion, such breaking up may also coincide with other regional political movements such as nationalism, independence, imperialism, and anti-colonialism.” (Longley, Robert. “What Is Balkanization?” ThoughtCo, Dec. 5, 2022, thoughtco.com/what-is-balkanization-1435451.)

In Hillsdale College’s 12-lesson, free online course Public Policy from a Constitutional Viewpoint, learn how the Founders designed the Constitution to limit government and protect natural rights, and how early Progressives later challenged those limits across many areas of public policy.

Quote of the Week

“We must not be deceived by the mere fact a person can read or write. Unless he has received that broader training which enables him to know the object of education, the uses of education; unless he receives that broader training which will make him realize that book education is useless without character, without industry, without the saving habit, without the willingness to contribute his part to law and order and the highest and best in the community, his mere book education will in many cases mean little or nothing.

— Booker T. Washington
