Republican Utah Sen. John Curtis introduced a bill this week that would let states run their own migrant worker visa programs, with a legal-status pathway for some illegal immigrants tucked inside. Curtis rolled out the legislation Monday alongside Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, according to the Deseret News. The measure would let state legislatures build voluntary visa programs sized to local labor demand, a reworking of federal immigration law that, according to the outlet, mirrors a 2011 Utah guest-worker proposal Washington never signed off on. The bill contains language the Deseret News described as a possible pathway to legal residency...

Idaho Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson recently signed on to a renewed attempt to overhaul the visa program for agricultural migrant workers. The proposed legislation includes a change long-sought by Idaho’s dairy industry leaders — it would allow year-round agriculture producers to access workers, instead of just for seasonal labor. “This is an issue that I’ve been working on for probably 20 years with the dairy industry in Idaho and the challenges they face,” Simpson said at a June 30 press conference to announce the legislation. The bill, H.R. 9535, would make several changes to the H-2A visa program, which...

A new agriculture bill just dropped in the House of Representatives. It features: Granting amnesty to illegal aliens present in the United States as of May 31, 2026, who meet minimal agricultural work history requirements. How many illegal aliens will claim to be agriculture workers?

Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) congressional candidate Melat Kiros believes there must be an “immediate pathway” to citizenship for “every single” illegal alien. Kiros unseated 15-term Democrat Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s First Congressional District primary on Tuesday, signaling that the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party spans far beyond the borders of New York. She holds a range of radical views and is of the thinking that there must be an “immediate pathway” to citizenship for illegal aliens residing in the country. “Abolishing ICE is just one step, right?” she said during an interview. “Democrats have been in power...

The sheer amount of roughly one million illegal migrants in Spain seeking amnesty could lead to a “collapse” of the nation’s basic services such as housing, education, or security, experts warned. Spain is presently in the final weeks of a widely-criticized mass amnesty process launched by the government of socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez that aims to grant half a million illegal migrants with “legal” residence status, work permits, and other benefits. Despite the initial “half a million” estimates stated by Spanish officials in January, officials recently acknowledged that over 900,000 amnesty requests had been submitted by migrants, confirming estimates...

The good news is that between May 2024 and May 2025 the U.S. gained 41,060 computer jobs. The bad news is that in 2025 the U.S. imported 52,938 workers for computer jobs on H-1B visas alone. Even more foreign computer workers come under an alphabet soup of other work programs [about 20 other foreign labor categories].

Spain's migrant amnesty is set to attract more than one million people, which is double the expected number of undocumented workers seeking legal residency rights. The migration ministry said it had received about 900,000 applications. The government initially thought only half a million illegal migrants would claim. CEAR, a non-profit refugee aid organisation, said it expected applications to exceed one million by the time the programme ended in two weeks. The amnesty was championed by Pedro Sánchez, Spain's centre-Left leader, who argued that integrating paperless migrants was just and made economic sense. Spain's economic growth has far outpaced most European...

Rubio is like the baseball team that scraps for every run and creates openings while Vance seems to be waiting for President Trump to hit a three-run homer to bring him in. Rubio is clearly leading Trump among Latinos, winning converts for him in a way Vance is failing to do. He has used his position as secretary of state to polish his image. Rubio has a charisma edge while Vance seems to be a stolid follower in Trump's wake.

clip of Bongino thinking Rubio, filling in for Caroline Levitt as Press Sec, said some thing great, when really it shows Rubio doesn't understand some key things about The USA and it's foundations. Rubio basically says anyone can come from anywhere into the US and achieve (current system gives many incentives to foreignors over US Citizens), or be born of illegals in the US (and remain, abusing the system) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/628b7vqomIo

Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed Wednesday that members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet are actively lobbying him to grant some form of legal status to illegal immigrants currently in the country.Speaking with CBS News, Homan was asked whether he would support a deal that gives legal status to millions of people here illegally who are “otherwise law-abiding.” He declined to answer directly.“I’m not gonna get ahead of the President on that,” Homan said. “The President’s talking to various members of his cabinet, there’s discussions going on. I’m involved in some, but not others.”Homan did not name which cabinet members are...

Border Czar Tom Homan told CBS News that President Donald Trump is talking to his advisors about offering some form of “legal status” to many illegal migrants. A pro-migration reporter at CBS asked Homan on Wednesday: “Would you support a compromise, sir, that involves giving legal status [amnesty] to the millions of people who are here illegally but are otherwise law-abiding?” “I’m not gonna get ahead of the President on that,” Homan cautiously responded. “I work for the President,” Homan added, as the Colombian-born migrant reporter interrupted him to insist that “Something has to be done to address that [illegal...

The concentration of knife attacks in the Barcelona metropolitan area widens the gap between the official discourse on crime and public perception of security. Crime scene cordoned off iby the regional police in Barcelona on May 4, 2026 - @AlertaMundoNews on X, May 4, 2026 Barcelona and its metropolitan area saw an unusual sequence of knife violence this weekend: four stabbings in just 24 hours, two of them fatal. The most serious incident occurred on Saturday morning. A woman was killed in broad daylight in one of the quietest residential areas of the municipality. It did not take place in...

A Republican strategist is helping Americans coordinate small-dollar donations to help pro-American candidates win primary races against pro-amnesty establishment candidates. “The problem a lot of grassroots candidates face is they never get the necessary funds to actually get their message heard by people,” said strategist Ryan Girdusky, who has founded Homeland PAC. He told Breitbart News: When they do [get the funds], they can succeed, especially if it’s about immigration, like Dave Brat did [in 2014 Virginia]. So, by working on and making sure these messages can get out and spending [funds] on behalf of these candidates, I think we...

SCOOP In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens. It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff. No amnesty!

DIGNIDAD Act introduced for the third time in six years by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.). Excellent written summary - plus - a 39 minute podcast. Key Points - Scope of Amnesty - Enforcement and Legal Concerns - Economic and Labor Market Impact

Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) says Republicans ought to pass her “DIGNIDAD Act,” a broad amnesty scheme allowing millions of illegal aliens to remain in the United States while hugely expanding legal immigration levels, to prove to Democrats that they are not racist. “It’s impossible if we, the Republicans, put together a bill like this one on the floor, for any Democrat with Hispanics, supposedly you know ‘Hispanics belong to the Democrats.’ No, not anymore, because right now we’re going to be demonstrating to the Dems that we are not such a bunch of racists, that we are giving them dignity,...

Rep. Brandon Gill is picking a public fight with fellow House Republicans over immigration, torching the DIGNIDAD Act as “mass amnesty” and daring its backers to say out loud what he says the bill does. “The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters,” Gill wrote on X, after GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, talked up renewed interest in the proposal. Gill then turned his fire directly at the bill’s supporters: “If your bill were so popular, you’d be straightforward about what it does. The DIGNIDAD Act provides mass amnesty...

Despite President Donald Trump winning on the promise of “mass deportations,” a handful of spineless Republicans, alongside Democrats, are trying to push a mass amnesty act known as the DIGNIDAD Act — or, for English speakers, the DIGNITY Act. The legislation is billed as not being amnesty, but would give millions of illegal aliens — both so-called DREAMers/DACA and non-DREAMers/DACA — a legal status. But co-sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., insists it’s not amnesty, so much so that she’s screaming at people on X to “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” So I read the bill. And...

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...
