A bill to strengthen the consequences of the fraudulent use of United States or foreign passports and other immigration documents.
Summary
This bill seeks to increase the legal penalties for crimes involving the fraudulent use of both U.S. and foreign passports. It broadens the legal definition of "passport" to include those issued by other countries and classifies passport fraud and making false statements on applications as "aggravated felonies" under immigration law. For individuals, these changes mean that such offenses would carry more severe consequences, including mandatory detention hearings and a higher likelihood of deportation for non-citizens, regardless of the length of the prison sentence imposed.
