Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act aims to expand and clarify grounds for civil denaturalization.
The Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act, or SCAM Act, expands and clarifies the grounds for civil denaturalization proceedings. It targets individuals who, at the time of their naturalization, lacked good moral character, attachment to the Constitution, and disposition to the good order and happiness of the United States. The bill specifies that actions such as defrauding a governmental program, affiliating with a foreign terrorist organization, or committing certain criminal offenses within 10 years of naturalization provide sufficient evidence for denaturalization.
