Bill Introduced in House to Keep Illegals in Country Indefinitely
The New American ^ | July 17, 2025 | R. Cort Kirkwood

Posted on 07/17/2025 7:27:45 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Details

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.

Big DUH on me: That list is the Republicans sponsoring this Amnesty Bill (which was first floated and failed in 2023). It's a 263 page monster you can tell professional lobbyists put together. The Democrats, thus far, are:

Veronica Escobar (TX)
Adriano Espaillat (NY)
Hillary Scholten (MI)
Susie Lee (NV)
Adam Gray (CA)
Salud Carbajal (CA)
Mike Levin (CA)
Nikki Budzinski (IL)
Laura Gillen (NY)
Jake Auchincloss (MA)

They should all get together for lunch at

Primary all of these traitors. Saw that Mike Lawler guy which was one of the holdouts and no votes to the Big Beautiful Bill so after this bs he's got to go. Also that he looks like Rohar Mamdani's twin clinches it.

No, millions of illegals will not be allowed to stay here in big complexes the american people will have to fund. In addition to the millions not caught still using resources all across the country.

They can wait in mexico or their home countries, not here.

Mike Lawler is setting up a run for New York state governor against Hochul. First a Muslim Marxist know-nothing to rule over the world’s center of commercial might and now a barely-disguised Democrat using the ‘R’ association for campaign money.

Florida’s calling, Up-staters.

I looked for a TN Rep named Andy Cohen.
There is no Rep named Andy Cohen.
There is a Memphis Area Rep Named Steve Cohen.
Is that who you are talking about?

Does anyone doubt that the USA would be a TOTALLY different country if women were not allowed to vote? IMO much better.

Why is the assumption always that legal immigration is a good thing? All immigration needs to stop for 50 years!

“...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 don’t disagree at all. My point was just that the concerns of those currently petitioning for citizenship will ALL be addressed before we entertain requests from lawbreakers. We already have plenty of homegrown lawbreakers, we don’t need to import more.
