Maria Elvira Salazar Fires Back at Brandon Gill Over DIGNITY Act
Floridian Press ^ | 04 08 2026 | Joseph Quesada

Posted on 04/08/2026 4:48:01 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) has fired back at fellow GOP Texas Congressman Brandon Gill over his remarks on the Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act (DIGNIDAD).

“The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters,” Rep. Gill claimed in a post on X.

In response via X, Congresswoman Salazar wrote, “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” “Calling the DIGNITY Act 'amnesty' isn’t just wrong. It’s a deliberate distortion and it exposes just how little you know about the bill,” Rep. Salazar countered.

Introduced in July 2025 by Reps. Salazar and Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), the bipartisan proposal seeks to overhaul U.S. immigration by increasing border security while providing a multi-year path to legal status for undocumented immigrants who arrived before 2021.

“This is enforcement first: zero tolerance for criminals, permanent border security, and hard, earned requirements to step forward and face the law, so American workers are protected, not undercut,” Rep. Salazar continued.

Why the convoluted name?

I’m sure Salazar and Escobar have no ulterior motives.

To make the bill’s short name be in Spanish. Kind of like the sponsors’ last names.

Does she not understand that amnesty would not only be the death of the Republican Party but the death of our country!?!? Who does she thinks the new citizens are going to vote for? I’ll take The Party of Free Stuff for $1000 Alex.

Salazar is a lying sack of shit.

This is an amnesty push on steroids. Aside from the amnesty points discussed over the last few days, today’s discovery is a section that allows any illegal alien deported prior to 2017 may have that reversed.

These people are a sick joke. Someone is paying these treasonous bastards to push this BS, and I wonder who that is.

The Dignity act forgives the college loans of lawyers who represent illegals. Never trust a Cuban...

Co-sponsor Mike Lawler just destroyed his own bill.

Democrats are very successful at infiltrating the Republican party.

If Republican voters have a choice between two Democrats, they’ll choose the one with the ‘R’ after their name. The voters will then continue reelecting that same Democrat for 20-30 years because “the worst RINO is better than the best Democrat”. This is why conservatives are a small minority in their own party.
