Rep. Jeff Crank, R-Colo., told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Tuesday night that the current Minnesota fraud scandal has emboldened Congress to make changes to the law to give federal authorities more power to investigate the exodus of U.S. money to foreign countries, especially from illegal aliens.

"We have to do it. It's embarrassing that Congress hasn't done this before," Crank said. "These are financial controls that any company would have on corporate money. Any good company would have it. The board of directors would fire them if they didn't. I don't know why in the world we wouldn't have those kinds of controls."
