Two leftist congresswomen have introduced an illegal-alien amnesty bill they have disguised as a “reasonable, compassionate, and final solution to America’s immigration crisis.”
Republican Maria Salazar of Florida and Democrat Veronica Escobar of Texas call their bill “The Dignity Act.” They claim it will secure the southwest border, deter illegal immigration, and provide a tough pathway to permanent legal status for illegals.
Critics claim the bill is an amnesty that will not only halt mass deportations, but also permit illegal-alien gang members to stay in the country.
Frighteningly, nine Republicans have co-sponsored the bill.
Salazar, the daughter of Cuban exiles, delivered her message on the bill twice — in English for Americans and Spanish for illegals.
The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “to gain situational awareness and operational advantage of the southern border,” which is all well and good, except for one thing. The Secure Fence Act already requires the secretary of homeland security to maintain “operational control” of the border.
As well, it requires DHS to “to deploy physical barriers,” which the Trump administration has done and is doing, the bill’s summary says. It mandates that employers use E-Verify to validate eligibility for employment.
Claiming to “reform asylum,” the bill ends catch and release at the borders and creates at least three “humanitarian campuses” where asylum applicants must stay while they await adjudication of their cases. While the campus administrators will run background checks on the asylees, the campuses will be open to radical leftist troublemakers:
Private organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) may have access to the facility to provide humanitarian assistance or legal counsel.

President Trump already rejected this.
He already repudiated it, and the base is rock solid.
Salazar is going for the Illegal Votes.
Dignity? If you have dignity you entered the US legally and complied with our laws. Yes, even the PITA requirements for entry and legal residence in the US.
Let’s say it gets approved by both houses. Trump will just veto it.
Please press 1 for English.... press 2 to self-deport.
👍👍
Illegal???
OUT! GET OUT!!!
Spare me the sob stories. Who cares?
These scumbags need to be dealt with quickly and with prejudice...
We don’t need a Reagan II fiasco...
The founding fathers never said or supported any such thing-women have always had equal rights from the fed-the states set up their own voting laws regarding women voting then. I’m a female-and I’ll be happy to demonstrate my logic and common sense in any professional situation/setting-and your post insults most of us female FReepers...
Appears these two want to protect their own family members from getting deported. Hopefully their bill will be DOA.
>> The Dignity Act.
to Hell with that nonsense
taxpayers have had enough subsidizing the Rats’ “dignity” concerns
The Naturalization Act of 1790 allowed free White males of “good moral character” to become citizens after living in the United States for at least two years. Indentured servants, slaves, and women were not eligible for citizenship.
DemonicRATS just refuse to wipe their own asses.
How about the “illegally enter rhe USA, get deported and are ineligable for any chance of future government handouts, voting rights, and oh thats for you or your extended family ether directions. Permanently.
Dems would collapse in a heap.
Democrats are like the terminator. You can't reason with them because their beliefs are not founded on reason, but a rabid lust for power to control every aspect of our lives. The feel that they are superior to us and thus entitled to direct our lives as they see fit. Nomatter how much you hate loath and despise Democrats it isn't enough . they are despicable people without a single redeeming qualaity. If they never get into power again it will be too soon
*Reagan got rolled several times by the forces of tyranny - Democrats and RINOs One was the amnesty fraud (do this now and we'll fix x in the future. They pull this in one form or another every year. Another we the elimination of automatic weapons from civilian ownership. They traded this for the privilege of buying ammo without a record of the sale. Trading one infringement for a worse one. You can't bargain with them because they are utterly morally bankrupt. They NEVER keep their end of the bargain. Those two pieces of merde who came up with this should be stuffed headfirst down a hole and the hole filled with dog vomit.
You have to put the names of those without shame up when posting such:

I'm surprised Tennessee's Chicken-Man Andy Cohen's not here.
Self-hater must have been protesting for Palestine or something.
I avoid, to the greatest extent possible, voting for women or certain racial/ethnic minorities.
Yeah ... so I'm racist and misogynistic.
I don't care.
