House Republicans unleashed a bombshell bill that could finally slam the door on the Somali fraud rings bleeding several states dry. Introduced by Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), H.R. 6946 terminates Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from the nations of Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and Sudan, forcing self-deportation within 180 days.
This is a long-overdue hammer on the welfare scams and terror ties festering in blue states. And ACT for America? We're one of the first to stand up, support this bill, and encourage every red-blooded American to rally behind it. We've been sounding the alarm on these dangers for years—now it's time to act.
This bill is a reaction to the Minnesota mess where a billion-dollar fraud empire flourished in plain sight. Somali rings—many on refugee status—forged documents, propped up empty daycares, siphoned cash to hawalas, and funded Al-Shabaab jihadists overseas. This isn't just about fraud; it's about protecting the U.S. Constitution from foreign legal systems that stand in direct opposition to American values.
Wesley Hunt, a former U.S. Army officer, understands what is at stake. For him, this is personal.
“As somebody that has lived under Sharia law, somebody that has deployed to the Middle East, this is also a broader conversation about keeping people that hate our country out of here.” Rep. Hunt added, "It's important we ensure those entering our country are properly vetted, and they clearly have not been."
