Rep. Andy Ogles Introduces the Remigration Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Andy Ogles introduced the Remigration Act, legislation to revoke citizenship and immigration status from individuals who abuse America's laws, defraud taxpayers, support terrorism, or threaten national security.

The bill would revoke naturalized citizenship for individuals convicted of aggravated felonies, government-benefits fraud, certain serious federal crimes, or material support for a foreign terrorist organization within ten years of naturalization. It would also create a DHS task force to review Biden-era asylum, refugee, and adjustment-of-status grants issued from January 20, 2021, to January 20, 2025.

The Remigration Act requires English-language proficiency for naturalization, terminates nonimmigrant status for serious criminal convictions, revokes certain immigration benefits for nationals from designated high-risk countries, ends birthright citizenship for children of illegals, and makes any alien deportable for anti-American statements or affiliations that threaten national security or public safety.

"America is not a dumping ground for criminals, terrorists, fraudsters, or people who hate our country," said Congressman Ogles. "If you abuse our generosity, break our laws, or threaten our people, you should be sent home."

"Citizenship should mean something. Assimilation should mean something. This bill puts Americans first and restores sovereignty to our immigration system," Congressman Ogles said.
