Republican Rep. Marie Salazar of Florida has promoted her bill, The Dignity Act, to allegedly give dignity to 10 – 20 million or so illegal aliens who poured into the country over the past five years by letting them remain.
She proposes the usual border security that is never implemented and increases penalties for illegal border crossers. The bill calls for the deportation of criminals. But then, it provides a 10-year program that allows people here illegally to stay. Meanwhile, they can work in the US and take jobs from citizens and legal residents.

It is what our corporations want — cheap labor.
Additionally, there is a five-year path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens.
So-called Dreamers would get immediate legal status.
It’s a typical Democrat bill by a Republican congresswoman.
KEY FEATURES OF THE DIGNITY ACT
- Creates immediate legal status and streamlined path for Dreamers.
- Dignity Program (10 Years):Â Through the 10-year Dignity Program, undocumented immigrants will be provided a chance to work, earn legal status, pay restitution, and get right with the law. They must comply with all federal and state laws, pass a criminal background check, work or serve as a family caregiver, and pay taxes. They must contribute to the American Worker Fund to begin the program. The Dignity program provides work authorization and protection from removal proceedings as long as conditions are being met. Dignity participants will pay $10,000 in restitution during the 10 years of the program, must check in with DHS every 2 years, and must remain in good public standing.
- Individuals in the Dignity Program will not have access to federal means-tested benefits or entitlements. They will be net contributors to tax revenue and the U.S. economy.
- The Redemption Program (+5 years):Â The Redemption Program is optional, and individuals must complete the 10-year Dignity Program to start the Redemption Program. It will offer a chance at redemption and to earn more permanent legal status. The 5-year Redemption Program requires that participants learn English and U.S. civics, and provides the opportunity for those seeking permanent legal status to contribute to their local community either through local volunteer work, national community service, or increased contributions into the American Worker Fund. It also opens up eligibility for existing pathways to citizenship, but would not be a special pathway. Individuals applying would go to the back of the line.
- Enforcement through a functioning mandatory e-verify system and certification of a fully secure border will be completed before the Redemption Program can begin.

SHE INTERVIEWED WITH TUCKER
This interview with Florida Rep. Maria Salazar on Tucker last night is frustrating. She’s a Republican who supports border security but once illegals get in, she has their backs. She denies that but it is what she supports. Her views on the Russia-Ukraine war are confusing. See what you make of it.
WOWOWOW!!!! This bwitch really thinks giving “dignity” to ILLEGAL ALIENS is okay??!?!?!?!?!?!? Nope, now way, nohow!?!??!?! I don’t give a damn what this bwitch thinks about the ukraine, etc. at this point, to hear it say this crap about the illegals in THIS COUNTRY is outrageous?!?!?!?! This thang comes from cuba?? It’s not American, that’s for sure!!! Like illhan and tlabia, they have NO BUSINESS IN OUR AMERICAN BUSINESS/grubberment!! This bwitch should be recalled or impeached or whatever for this crap it is espousing?!?!?! GRRRRRROARRRRRRRRR?!?!?!?!
Amnesty as the word the Dems invented “Integrity” are misnomers. Meaningless in a Biden culture that freely ‘engages in the importation of people. The actual words should be the “Malevolence act”.
I saw that interview. Maria Salazar seemed like a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat to me. When she wasn’t lying (Tucker proved it by quoting from her bill, on-the-spot) she simply refused to give a straight answer. She was awful. This is why Republican voters so mistrust and dislike their own party. Instead of fighting the Democrats and their philosophy, Republican “representatives” either help them or offer us up their own version of the same nonsense.
BOHICA
The real problem is America’s Immigration system is broke. First, NO ONE who didn’t come through the Front Door Legally gets to stay. Everyone who wants to become an America Citizen goes Home and goes through a Vetting Process. If they comply with all the rules, including English Literacy at the 12th Grade Level (1960 Standards, not 2020 Standards) they get a Residency Permit and a Green Card. After 5 Years they can apply for US Citizenship. A Conviction for a Felony would be grounds for revoking the Visa.
We need a Real Worker Visa Program. That means for Professionals the Employer puts up a Bond in case the Employee gets “lost” and Pays the Equivalent US Salary and is responsible for health cost. The Worker pays a 20% income tax – Period. The Employer pays a 25% Social Security Penalty Tax and a 10% State Unemployment Penalty for hiring a foreigner. The longest a Worker can work in America total would be 5 years. After that they MUST go home and apply for Citizenship. Any Arrest is grounds for revoking the Visa.
We need a Migrant Worker Program. Again the Employer pays a Bond in case the worker gets lost. Workers must be paid at least Minimum Wage and pay Income Tax. The Employer covers Health Cost, but there is No Social Security taxes. The Visa is only good for a maximum of 6 Months a Year and then the worker goes Home until next year. Any Arrest is grounds for revoking the Visa.
We need a Retirement Visa Program. If you are retired and over 55, you should be able to get a yearly renewable retirement visa. You must have a Pension and/or Foreign Social Security Plan paying at least one and a half times the Maximum Social Security payment (at 70) for an individual per month ($6,000), two times if a Couple ($8,000). A Conviction for a Felony would be grounds for revoking the Visa.
Foreign Spouse Visas. If you have a Foreign Spouse they should be able to live in America with you as long as you provide for everything. They would not be entitled to work. If they want to work they would have to go through the Immigration Process. A Conviction for a Felony would be grounds for revoking the Visa. There should be provisions for a Spouse to get your Social Security Benefits and Medicare if you were married more than 20 Years, lived in America for over 5 years, and is over the age of 65.
ALL Illegal Aliens should be give 6 months to get out of America. If you are found here illegally you should be immediately deported. If you return after being deported, you should be considered a Spy and subject to being shot! Hiring an Illegal Alien MUST have severe penalties. Corporate Officers should be subject to jail time and stock holders subject to financial penalty. Penalties for hiring Illegal Aliens need to be so severe, no one will do it! NO ONE but US Citizens should receive any Government funds, and that should include schooling for Children. And no more Anchor Babies or Dreamers. Sorry if it sucks to be you if your parents broke the Law. You are not entitled to reap a benefit from their crimes.
Foreigners should not be allowed to own property or a majority interest in a business in America. Here in the Deep South, I’m a Liberal when it comes to Immigration. Most people I run into want all immigration terminated.
