Hard to believe this is real coming from a "Republican", but here we are. A few links and copy paste below.

I hope this is DOA and never sees any light in Congress.


H.R.4393 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025 | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

Brick Suit on X: "The "DIGNIDAD" Amnesty act will create up to THREE processing centers in Central and South America that will be used to pre-screen foreign nationals for "family reunification". In other words, our tax dollars will fund and expedite chain migration. https://t.co/X4WmAQgvEF" / X

Worst Thing GOP Could Do For Midterms Is Embrace Amnesty

Rep. Mara Elvira Salazar Joins Bipartisan Leaders to Launch National Dignity Coalition and Nationwide "Dignity Tour" | Representative Maria Salazar

So, I did exactly what you asked and I sat down and read ALL 261 pages of your bill.
It does support mass amnesty and I'll tell you exactly where:
Pages 162-170... The Dream Act:
You grant conditional lawful permanent resident status to ILLEGAL ALIENS who:
>Have been continuously present in the U.S. since January 1, 2021
>Entered before age 18
>Meet education, employment, or military service requirements
>Pass criminal background checks
On top of this, in Sec. 2102(b)(3)(B), DACA recipients get fast-tracked to conditional green card status.
...which is literally mass amnesty
BUT THE BILL GOES EVEN FURTHER!!!
On pages 204-217, you present the Dignity Program:
This is a separate track for illegal aliens who don't qualify for the Dream Act.
If you are an illegal aliens who:
> Was continuously present since December 31, 2020
>Pay a $1,000 upfront "restitution" fee
>Submit biometrics, pass a background check
>No felony convictions
You get work authorization + travel authorization + deferred removal for 7 years
After completing the 7-year program (paying $7,000 total in fees, staying employed, obeying laws, paying back taxes):
We grant you:
> "Dignity Status" which is essentially a lawful nonimmigrant status, which is renewable any number of times
>Work and travel authorization
But the most important bit that you're hiding here is that it totally suspends deportation of anyone who qualifies for this.
This would effective end ALL MASS DEPORTATIONS in the United States immediately.
You are a liar, you are a fraud, everything you stand for is fake... did YOU read your own bill?
Because I just did, and you are a damned LIAR!!!!!


DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican Hello Representative Salazar,
You probably don't even know this... but he word "dignity" in your bill's title carries decades of political science literature behind it.
Dignity shifted from something that originates within the individual to something engineered from above by institutions. When the UN, NGOs, and multilateral bodies invoke dignity, they mean the replacement of organic, inherited civic bonds with managed, contractual ones administered by a professional class. That is the tradition your bill's language is drawing from, whether you intend it or not.
On the substance: the DIGNITY Act is amnesty. Symbolic barriers to permanent residency do not change that the bill provides a path to legal status for tens of millions of people who entered the country unlawfully. Others have dissected the policy details thoroughly, so I won't repeat their work here.
But I want to press a different question. Why the insistence that this isn't amnesty? The most straightforward explanation is that you know your constituents oppose it. They voted for enforcement, in the most demographically diverse Republican coalition in modern history. That coalition didn't ask for managed integration. It asked for sovereignty.
The Founding Fathers built a republic from the bottom up, starting with human nature as it actually is: rooted in specific communities. The rules-based international order builds from the top down, starting with an abstract ideal and engineering populations to match it. Your bill, whatever its intentions, belongs to the second tradition, the one that is non-American. It assumes that cohesion can be manufactured through NGO programs... public schools, civic integration, managed assimilation... rather than protected through enforcement of the boundaries that a self-governing people chose to establish.
That is not a conservative position. It is not a republican position in any meaningful sense.
And your constituents can see it.
We see you.
You are a fraud, Representative Salazar.

Screw that. Round up every single illegal alien and deport their asses back to their home country. They can hang out at the airport until the rest of the family arrives.

Maria Salazar has been the biggest RINO in Congress when it comes to amnesty. She pushes it every single time.

If I was in her district, I'd vote the Democrat to be rid of her for good. Then take back the seat in 2028.

Would be the height of dark irony if the SAVE Act dies and the Republicans "give" us amnesty instead ahead of the midterms.

They don't care. They only care about about their donors. The system has failed us.

Republicans want to lose the next election and democrats want to destroy the country.

What would they be doing differently to convince you otherwise?

Wouldn't shock me at all. There are almost no conservatives in Congress. Just pretenders.

I am FOR it.

Republicans and Democrats have made a deal with the devil on using illegal labor for a long time.

The outrage from "Republicans" is laughable.

I haven't heard a coherent plan on how to deport millions of people who may have U.S. Citizens attached to their families. It is all stupid rhetoric

But I will concede a point for those who want mass deportations of people who have been here for 5 plus years or more…..fine every person in the United States $1,500 for every instance they utilized illegal labor.

Those are great stats for a President who wants to do immigration reform . He can actually use these stats you posted when he gives legal protection to millions.

Are you crashing out? The bill in the OP has not been passed and wont be.

Crashing out? I am not in high school.

I suppose "Republicans" thought they were voting for mass deportations. You are not going to get it.

What is your plan to deport millions? Including United States citizens? Most of the "outraged" Repub reps have ZERO plan. Just outrage to fire up their base.

Fine every person who paid for illegal labor. Whether consciously or unconsciously. That should pay for mass deportations

There should not be an amnesty act. I agree that the US Immigration System needs to be overhauled, but we must allow CBP to turn back people who cross illegally and ICE to pursue and enforce visa overstays. A good starting point for the US Congress would be to crackdown on illegal employment. Economic opportunity is the main force driving migration. Therefore, since illegal employment is a magnet for illegal immigration, it only makes sense that the United States government must find ways to take that magnet away. We must continue to step up work site enforcement, which requires Congress to fund more law enforcement positions for ICE to actually investigate companies across the nation. But first and foremost, E-Verify needs to be mandatory.

Totally agree. Our government needs to tighten E Verify. And severely punish those that benefit from illegal immigration.

Until then, these Republicans that are against the Diginity Act are just kicking the can down the road….with ZERO solution for human beings who were attracted to the system that was created
