GOP Rep. Maria Salazar (FL) : Americans Need Illegal Migrants to Defend the USA
breitbart ^ | 21 Jul 2026 | Neil Munro

Americans cannot defend the United States without the help of illegal migrants, said Republican Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) on Monday.

Salazar’s comments came as she joined Democrats to tout her “Dignidad” amnesty for at least 15 million illegal aliens, saying:

Let them stay … Let them continue contributing to the number one economy in the world, so we can continue being the number one military in the world. [If] we don’t have the economy, we don’t have the guns, and we cannot defend ourselves.

There is little evidence that the nation’s stock of at least 15 million illegal migrants — or of the 40 million legalized migrants — positively contribute to the nation’s increasingly high-tech, low-manpower, national security strategy.

In reality, migrant renters, workers and consumers are being used to pump up the consumer economy as investors export the nation’s critical high-tech and manufacturing industries, as well as critical databases and software resources, to cheap foreign workers in China and India. Salazar’s amnesty bill would accelerate that process by dramatically increasing the legalized inflow of low-wage workers.

This sicko RINO. I hope Trump never endorsed her. With Trump, armed forces recruitment is higher than ever, without illegal aliens applying.

The enlistment rate of American citizens is the highest in history. We don’t need illegals to fill our enlistment ranks.

Yes. María Elvira Salazar has been endorsed by Donald Trump multiple times.

Most recently:

In February 2026, Trump endorsed Salazar for re-election to Congress in Florida’s 27th District.
He also endorsed her in her 2020 congressional race.

Salazar herself endorsed Trump during the 2024 Republican presidential primary, announcing her support after the Iowa and New Hampshire contests.

She’s just awful. She was a total shill for constantly meddling in countries abroad and she’s an open borders globalist. We need to primary and remove her.

You cannot despise the RINO/uniparty enough, this exactly why this country is a mess and has been for decades.

She is not Mexico derived, this rank opportunist is the daughter of Cuban exiles.
But she can learn tacos!

What American soldier wants an armed foreign trespasser sharing his combat foxhole?

They showed no respect for our nation when they broke American immigration law to sneak in illegally.

She may have an ulterior motive for wanting to import endless wave of Hispanic people

This is idiotic and an obvious lie, and it won’t stop at 15 million.

There’s a minimum of 40 million illegals already here, and ANY type of ‘amnesty’ would open the floodgates worse than Biden.

America would cease to be an independent nation of free people, and would rapidly become no more than a geographic location on a map.

This would satisfy the RINOs, because they don’t see a nation of people with a long history and tradition of liberty.

The RINOs view America as nothing more than an economic unit, something to be manipulated and toyed with for their own greedy benefit.

There can be no amnesty of ANY type.

All illegals out of the USA, or the rule of law is finished for good.

If they are so great why don’t they defend and make their own country great? Americans can do America just fine thank you.

Not many people know that Hitler did the same thing. Invited minorities into Germany into Germany for the cheap labour.

Then he killed them to repair the chaos he caused.

She and the other GOP betrayers are leading America down that same pathway.

“The enlistment rate of American citizens is the highest in history. We don’t need illegals to fill our enlistment ranks.”

The concept of a Foreign Legion is not a bad one, but this isn’t that.

**I hope Trump never endorsed her.**
Trump’s smarter than you all.

**She’s just awful. She was a total shill for constantly meddling in countries abroad and she’s an open borders globalist. We need to primary and remove her.**
Wrong. She’s one of 500+. Don’t worry.

**What American soldier wants an armed foreign trespasser sharing his combat foxhole?**
You’ve got a point.

The bottom line: Dennis needs to think more below his belt. She’s a hottie!-comprende? 64 years old-hard to believe. Miami-Dade. She won bigly.

The other name for illegal aliens in the military is mercenaries. Rome was largely defended by mercenaries when it fell. Outsourcing defense to non Americans is a bad idea.

All these Latin types are the same. It’s why I could never fully trust Marco Rube.
