It's a Numbers Game: Sen. Eric Schmitt on Immigration Fraud, Denaturalization & Ending Taxpayer Abuse

U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt joins the show to break down his latest legislative push to crack down on immigration fraud and reform the denaturalization process for individuals who obtain U.S. citizenship under false pretenses.

Schmitt argues that fraud must carry real consequences, including prosecution and the loss of citizenship for those who abuse the system. He highlights recent high-profile fraud cases in Minnesota involving members of the Somali community, emphasizing the need to protect taxpayer dollars and restore accountability in immigration enforcement.

The conversation expands to the broader immigration debate in Washington, where Schmitt explains why bipartisan cooperation in the Senate has stalled and why Democrats continue to resist meaningful reform. He also discusses the economic impact of remittances leaving the U.S. and outlines his proposal for a remittance tax designed to reduce incentives for illegal immigration.
