GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar Pushes (complete BS) Dignity Act

By William Teach July 20, 2025 – 7:00 am

There are times I wonder why I bother with these long posts, since my little blog doesn’t have a huge reach. But, this stuff matters, and Salazar is pushing “not-amnesty” just like Lindsay Graham, John McCain, and George W. Bush. See, it’s totally not amnesty

See? Oh, wait, telling a goodly chunk of illegals and those who’ve been in the US for a long time and do not speak English all about it

That’s her English tweet. Both say the same thing. And she’s been on a tear pushing this not-amnesty. Let’s dig into the actual Not-Amnesty, er, Dignity Act, go right to the big one, which is buried deep in the act (there are more details if you want to dig in full)
The Dignity Program will allow undocumented immigrants in the U.S. to earn legal status if they pass a criminal background check, pay back any taxes owed, and meet other requirements. Participants must also pay restitution to be eligible.

  • Dignity Program. The bill establishes a seven-year deferred action program that would grant employment and travel authorization to undocumented residents who have been continuously in the U.S. since December 31, 2020.
  • DHS estimates there were 10.5 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. in 2020. Of this group, 84 percent had lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years. (snip)
  • Dignity Status: Continued Legal Presence. Those who successfully complete the Dignity Program must apply for the Dignity Status. This legal status is renewable every seven years. Individuals can renew the status in perpetuity, as long as they remain in good standing. The status does not provide a path to U.S. citizenship. It allows individuals to stay and continue living in the U.S., while barring use of any federal means-tested benefits or entitlement programs.
OK, so, not-amnesty, just giving upwards of 10 million illegally present people permanent legal status. Will it really be just 10.3 million? Some estimates are of 20-30 million (let’s say 18.5 million). How about those who are from China and Islamic fundamentalist nations? Do they qualify?
Rest below the fold.
