Digidad Bill is nothing more than an Amnesty bill from the House Democrats
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
The DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act has come under intense fire from critics who argue that its "Dignity Program" is essentially a thinly veiled amnesty bill. Opponents, including several conservative House members, contend that by granting legal status and work authorization to millions of undocumented immigrants, the legislation undermines the rule of law and incentivizes further illegal immigration. While proponents frame the bill as a bipartisan solution that requires restitution payments and background checks, the "amnesty" label remains a central point of contention, with critics maintaining that any path to legal residency for those who bypassed the traditional system constitutes an unacceptable pardon for illegal entry.

Shaved my head before I came to work, just in case. Make it extra shiny. illegal immigration, that was the number one issue during the last presidential campaign. And the number one 00:29 promised that President Trump made was mass deportations and they've done a good job. mean with all of the roadblocks that have been put up by all of these radical leftist judges, they've done a good job. They've shut the border down. is now, I mean it is nowhere near where it used to be, the illegal crossings out of border. That is slowed down to a trickle. We all remember those pictures, that video 00:58 from Brownsville and Eagle Pass, where just thousands and thousands of people were gathered at our border. Well, it's not like that anymore. I mean, you get a few coming across every day, just a few, because Joe Biden, under the Biden administration, they were catching people. And then once they caught them, they were giving them parole. Okay, all right, caught you, tag, you're it. All right, you're giving you parole. Now you knucklehead, get on out of here. 01:27 and make sure you come back for your court date, okay? All right, what was your name again? Nevermind, it doesn't matter. Just show up for your court date and you'll be fine. Just let them walk freely into this country. 01:41 So, illegal immigration was a big problem, still is a big problem. But there are some so-called Republicans out there that now want to give, and I can't wait to see what Lindsey Graham says about this, because Rush Limbaugh called Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham-nesty, for a reason. But there are people out there like Maria Salazar introducing something called the Dignidad Act. Yes, they broke the law. 02:09 but someone gave them a job because they needed those workers. Workers were still needed today. The Secretary of Homeland Security said it herself, Homeland Security, said it herself clearly, Congress needs to write legislation to fix this mess. Well, here is the legislation, madam. No more need to choose between amnesty or deportation. Dignity bill is the answer. And here's how it works. If you are undocumented, 02:39 and you have been in the country for more than five years. You do not have a criminal record. You're working and paying taxes. You can come out of the shadows with no fear and apply for the dignity status. 02:56 Yes. Oh, but that's not all it does. It does a lot more than that. And I mean a lot more. Listen to this. According to the Dignidad Act, 03:16 it would increase the current cap of aliens in the United States from 7 % to 15%. 03:28 So that means countries that are currently hitting the cap like Mexico, India and China, they will get to double the amount of people that came here. 03:39 To that Maria Salazar, Maria Elvira Salazar said, read the bill before you open your mouth. Calling the Dignity Act amnesty isn't just wrong, it's a deliberate distortion and an exposition. No, that's exactly what it is. It grants amnesty, permanent residency under the DREAM Act, deferred action and illegal status programs, the Dignity programs, and halts deportation. 04:10 It halts them. No more deportation. 04:16 Section 2303 says that anyone who claims that they arrived before 2021, you can't be removed. 04:28 Listen to this, anybody could be able to make that claim, anybody. An alien who appears to be prima facie eligible for status under this subtitle during the 24 months the acts may not be removed or fined based on their immigration status may not be removed. It halts deportation. 04:55 There's a list of about 17, 17 Republican members of Congress who support this act. 17.
