Wipeout Removes 10 of 15 GOP Allies for Maria Salazar’s ‘Dignidad’ Amnesty

The GOP wipeout and retirements have eliminated two-thirds of the 15 GOP legislators who cosponsored Rep. Marie Salazar “dignidad” amnesty-and-cheap-labor bill.

In sharp contrast to the dignidad backers, GOP Rep. Brandon Gill — a leading opponent of mass migration — won his Texas district, even as his voters also supported far-left James Talarico for governor.

The pro-migration losers include Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Young Kim (R-CA).

Salazar has narrowly squeezed past her Democrat opponent by 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent, but faces a recount. Another supporter, Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, is also facing a recount.

Amid the defeats, Republicans outpolled Democrats on immigration 44 percent to 40 percent, according to exit polls on Tuesday.
