GOP Rep. Salazar, Six House Republicans Unveil Amnesty Plan for Illegal Aliens

John Binder, Breitbart, February 8, 2022

Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL), along with six House Republicans, has introduced an amnesty plan for illegal aliens amidst the largest wave of illegal immigration in American history.

On Tuesday, Salazar released her legislation titled “The Dignity Act” which would make the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens eligible for green cards — and eventually naturalized American citizenship — so long as they adhere to a 15-year process.

“It’s amazing how out of step Rep. Maria Salazar is with the Republican Party, and certainly the Republican base,” NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks told Breitbart News. “We are in the middle of a historic border surge, and her response is to propose the largest amnesty in history.”

Last month, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) vowed not to consider any amnesty plans for illegal aliens should Republicans take back the House {snip}

Specifically, the amnesty would give permanent lawful resident status to about 1.5 to 3.5 million illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

All other illegal aliens would be eligible for 10-year work visas so long as they pass a criminal background check and pay a $10,000 fine. Illegal aliens would not be able to receive any public welfare in the 10-year program.
