They have never been brought before a tribunal for their crimes. In most cases. they never will. Yet. as the law stands now. they can collect Social Security. This is particularly unfair when individuals deported under the other 18 paragraphs of the Immigration and Nationality Act cannot collect Social Security. To add insult to injury. this loophole is often used as a basis to plea bargain with these criminals. I am outraged that these criminals are enticed tn admit to persecutions under paragraph (19) in order to continue to receive Social Security benefits. Mr. Speaker. for thse reasons I am introducing this amendment and I urge the support of my colleagues.
