What the 'Dignity Act' would do - scares me beyond belief! It IS amnesty for illegal alien invaders. Call your elected officials and say NO to this bill.

 

Republican Amnesty? The ‘Dignidad’ Act Ignores the Will of the People

Emmy Griffin patriotpost.us 4-15-26

A bipartisan bill that seeks to bring dignity to illegal aliens misses what voters are screaming for with regard to immigration enforcement.

The leadership of President Donald Trump in deporting illegal aliens after the Biden administration left our borders wide open has been stupendous. Not only has Trump deported over 600,000 illegals despite the unbridled resistance from Democrats and judicial activists, but an estimated two million more have self-deported.

Illegal border crossings are at historic lows. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security reports 11 consecutive months with zero releases at the border. In other words, no illegal aliens who have been caught are being released into the country’s interior.

This is what we voted for, which is why it is a little baffling that Republicans in Congress are cosponsoring a bill that functions like mass amnesty.

The Dignidad Act (“dignidad” is the Spanish word for “dignity”) was put forward by Florida Republican Congresswoman María Salazar. Salazar was born in the U.S., though her parents were Cuban exiles who fled Castro’s regime. Ergo, immigration is near and dear to her heart.

Salazar has tried to advance similar bills in the past. This legislation, she claims, is different and not at all amnesty.

Here is what the bill would do:

• Give DREAMers/DACA a legal status.
• Forgive student loans for lawyers who provide legal services to illegal immigrants.
• Re-import illegals who have already been deported.
• Halt deportations altogether, including those of aliens with DUIs or DWIs.
• Grant automatic green cards to illegals under the age of 18 who have been here since January 1, 2021.
• DHS would determine whether an illegal alien meets the criteria of the Dignidad Act. In other words, discernment would be at the mercy of whoever is in the Oval Office.

Regarding illegals, Salazar wants to “buy them peace” while the details are sorted out. She also calls the bill “common sense.” Nothing outlined above is common sense. This is an amnesty bill that would undo the hard work of immigration enforcement agencies over the past 14 months.

The Dignidad Act is cosponsored by 20 Republicans and 20 Democrats and has been dubbed the most serious piece of bipartisan legislation under this administration. That alone constitutes a big red flag.

Despite the current irritation with Republicans for ignoring the will of the people, the introduction of the Dignidad Act presents an opportunity for more conversation. How do we permanently deter illegal immigration? How do we prevent noncitizens from exploiting our elections and congressional apportionment? How do we provide legal residency only for those who came purely for economic reasons?

These are constructive arguments that require thoughtful answers. The Dignidad Act is not the answer that voters are looking for, but it should lead to productive discussions while upholding the border, the Rule of Law, and the safety of the American people.

Why the United States Cannot Afford to Restrict All Legal Immigration

Gregory Lyakhov patriotpost.us 4-14-26

Examining the growing view on the Right that legal immigration should be paused or significantly reduced in response to uncontrolled excess.

The immigration debate within the Republican Party has moved beyond border enforcement to a broader question of national sustainability. While there remains overwhelming agreement that illegal immigration must be stopped, divisions are emerging over how to approach both legalization proposals and the role of legal immigration in the United States. That divide reflects a deeper tension between maintaining sovereignty and addressing long-term demographic decline.

On illegal immigration, the policy framework is clear. A country that fails to enforce its laws undermines its own legal system. Proposals such as the Dignity Act attempt to create a pathway to legal status for certain illegal immigrants, but such approaches introduce a structural risk. When individuals who entered unlawfully are later granted legal protections, enforcement loses consistency. The result is not only a one-time policy shift but also a precedent signaling that future violations may be resolved politically rather than legally.

A more coherent approach prioritizes enforcement while recognizing practical limits. Federal agencies can focus first on individuals with criminal records, national security risks, or repeat violations, while expanding broader deportation efforts over time. This structure maintains the integrity of the law without introducing subjective standards about who “deserves” to remain.

Once enforcement depends on economic contribution or personal circumstances, the law itself becomes conditional rather than consistent.

The more complex issue is legal immigration. A growing faction on the Right has begun calling for a pause or significant reduction in legal immigration, arguing that immigration channels strain public resources and slow assimilation. Those concerns are grounded in observable pressures. Rapid increases in asylum claims and refugee admissions under past presidents have placed measurable strain on housing markets, school systems, and local budgets, particularly in major cities.

When intake exceeds integration capacity, the result is not only fiscal stress but also slower economic and cultural assimilation.

At the same time, a blanket halt to legal immigration ignores a fundamental demographic constraint. The United States recorded a fertility rate of approximately 1.57 births per woman in 2025, well below the 2.1 replacement level required to sustain a population. That gap has direct economic consequences. A shrinking working-age population must support a growing number of retirees through programs such as Social Security and Medicare, increasing the burden on each individual worker.

That demographic pressure is compounded by abortion trends. More than one million abortions occur annually in the United States, reducing the number of future workers entering the population. The combination of below-replacement birth rates and sustained abortion levels accelerates population stagnation, creating a structural imbalance between younger and older generations. Without sufficient population growth, economic expansion slows, and entitlement systems face increasing strain.

Countries such as Japan have experienced prolonged periods of low fertility, leading to aging populations, slower growth, and mounting fiscal pressure. The United States has historically avoided the worst of these outcomes in part through immigration, which supplements the labor force and offsets demographic decline. Removing that mechanism without an immediate domestic replacement would intensify similar challenges.

The long-term solution lies in increasing domestic birth rates through policies that support family formation, including housing affordability, tax incentives, and access to childcare. However, those policies have operated over decades and produced limited success. In the short term, immigration is the only viable way to address the United States’ demographic challenges.

A sustainable immigration policy requires differentiation. Illegal immigration should be addressed through consistent enforcement and structured deportation priorities. Legal immigration should be calibrated to serve economic and demographic needs while maintaining strict standards for assimilation and resource capacity. Eliminating legal immigration entirely does not resolve the underlying demographic issue; it accelerates it.

Immigration enforcement, refugee admissions, and employment-based immigration serve different purposes and must be evaluated separately. A system that enforces its laws while allowing controlled, merit-based legal immigration reflects a recognition that sovereignty and economic stability are not competing goals but interconnected requirements for long-term national strength.

Woman claims ICE wrongfully detained her for 30 hours — now a sheriff is suing her for defamation

Carlos Garcia April 13, 2026 theblaze.com

Naqvi's accusations were amplified by an LGBTQ Democrat county commissioner, who is also named in the lawsuit.

A woman's serious accusations against federal and local law enforcement officials have allegedly turned out to be a hoax, and a sheriff is suing her for defamation over the claims.

Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi said in March that she and some co-workers had been held for over 30 hours despite being U.S. citizens and got nationwide coverage from sympathetic news outlets.

'They have not been supported by any — any — verified evidence at all.'

Twenty-eight-year-old Naqvi claimed she arrived at O'Hare airport in Chicago from Turkey on a work trip and was transported to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview and also taken to the Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin.

Her story was amplified by Democratic Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison, who is a friend of the family and a critic of the president's immigration policies.

"I don't think they want to own up to the fact that once again they have illegally detained American citizens without due process," said Morrison days after the alleged detention.

Her story seemed to begin falling apart after the multinational software company she claimed to work for reportedly said she was not an employee and that none of its workers had been detained at O'Hare.

Weeks after the accusations, Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt filed a defamation lawsuit against Naqvi as well as Morrison and explained the evidence that contradicted her claims.

"They have not been supported by any — any — verified evidence at all," Schmidt said at a media briefing on Friday. "At no point was Sundas Naqvi in the custody of the Dodge County Sheriff's Office."

He released video and text messages that he claimed undermined her account and showed that she was able to leave the O'Hare airport less than 90 minutes after landing. He also cited statements made by her boyfriend to the sheriff's office.

"I don't have any charges here in Dodge County to bring against her. My only recourse is to make sure that the public knows that she can't do this," Schmidt added.

The lawsuit also includes 10 "John Doe" people accused of publication or republication of the false claims against the sheriff. Their names will be added to the suit once they are identified.

The Chicago Sun Times has also documented numerous prior alleged incidents of false accusations made by Naqvi, including a conviction related to lying about sexual assault and a stabbing.

Schmidt is seeking $1 million in the lawsuit.

Morrison, meanwhile, has changed his previously strident tone about the case.

"It is my understanding that a lawsuit has been filed. I have not seen it. And if a suit has in fact been filed, I cannot comment on pending litigation," he said in a statement.

 

The 'left' agents of hypocricy, are masters of deception. This post describes their demands of 'both sides' of the debate on 'birthright citizenship'.

 

Rights and birthrights: The unborn versus illegal immigrants.

Leftists want to have it both ways on these issues.

Eric Utter | April 13, 2026 www.americanthinker.com

Has any group ever been used more for political purposes than babies in the womb?

It is certain that no other group has less power and is less “seen” and more “marginalized.” I have come across a few recent tweets on ‘X’ that illustrate the madness.

Lozzy B @TruthFairy131 wrote: White/ Europeans don't have children because they can't afford to support them. Migrants have children because White/ Europeans support them. If we didn’t fund migrants we could reduce taxes & afford to have kids again. Remigration now!

Jack Posobiec opined: Well, well, well, Notice that the liberal justices suddenly refer to unborn babies as people with full rights when the subject changes from abortion to immigration Like magic.

And Matt Walsh stated: The left’s argument for birthright citizenship is obviously insane but it’s even more insane when you consider that they actually don’t believe in your or my “birthright.” We are on stolen land and don’t belong here, according to them. But the anchor baby whose parents got here from Guatemala 10 seconds ago has a “birthright” and is tied to this nation by blood for all time. That’s actually their position. It’s so psychotic that you can’t even argue against it. Like trying to have a political debate with a dog. These people are not rational.

Logically, none of these points can be refuted, yet logic and rationality don’t enter into the equation when “progressives” are involved. Democrats view truth like George H.W. Bush viewed broccoli, and they believe reality is only what they say it is. And that the rest of us have no right to challenge their views on either.

No sane person could believe that a sixth-generation American citizen is an evil colonist who helped steal the land from the Indigenous Peoples and has no right to be here, and that illegal immigrants who have been in country for 45 minutes and drop a kid are rightfully and proudly Americans who should never be considered for deportation. And whose extended families should be allowed in, as well. Nor could any sane person believe that all invasive species, flora and fauna, are an existential threat to our native plants and animals, and that each and every illegal immigrant enriches us immeasurably with their very presence.

No sane person does believe this. Many leftists are mentally ill. Sadder still, many are not, but purport to believe this obvious bullsh*t because they see it as a pathway to power. Lies? Gaslighting? Projection? Doesn’t matter. Only power does. Their power. So they shamelessly use and abuse another large group to further their interests: low-information and low-IQ voters. And the kind-hearted and gullible. This is sick and depraved. They will ceaselessly attempt to abort babies, truth, and reality…and evade justice, accountability, and judgment.

It is up to us to see that they don’t succeed. We owe it to the vulnerable and less fortunate.

Because their incessant virtue signaling is not only hollow and hypocritical, but depraved and dangerous.
