I will point out to my colleague that, yes, gas jumped in the last month, but it is still a lot less expensive than it was under President Biden.

The need for legislation like H.R. 1958 is not hypothetical. Fraud is a serious crime, and it is essential we ensure foreign national fraudsters cannot continue to exploit the American taxpayers. While my colleagues will argue that there is no fraud currently, here are just a few recent examples: 'A 3-year-old girl's Social Security number had been used for two credit cards and two auto loans, with an outstanding balance of more than $25,000.' The second example is: 'Fraud by illegal immigrants destroying children's lives.' Including the life of: 'A 9-year-old boy who was denied Medicaid because wages were reported on his Social Security number. A 13-year-old girl who was denied as a dependent on her family's tax return because she supposedly made too much money.' These are because illegal aliens are stealing Social Security numbers and using them.
