Eric Schmitt rips Hirono over denaturalization bill: 'You're damn right we're deporting' criminals

Sen. Eric Schmitt criticized Sen. Mazie Hirono during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over her opposition to the SCAM Act, which targets denaturalization of citizens convicted of fraud and crimes. Hirono, a naturalized citizen, argued the bill imposes second-class citizenship on naturalized individuals, while Schmitt defended deporting criminals who exploit the system. The Trump administration highlighted anti-fraud efforts recovering billions.
