The bill’s name is a wink. The politics behind it are not. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer is preparing to introduce the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act — the SCAM Act — a proposal designed to make it easier for the federal government to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans convicted of fraud and other serious offenses.
