Would Republicans be elected if they touted Amnesty? Digidad Act

What this episode covers

00:00 Do you think if any Republican anywhere in the United States, any Republican 00:11 aired a commercial or put up a sign or a banner or put out on social media. I'm a conservative Republican and I believe that we need to have an amnesty program. Do you think any of those so-called conservative Republicans would be elected? Or would they have lost in the primary? Absolutely, 100%. 00:40 That is a losing issue every single time with Republicans. But that doesn't stop the ones that are in office for going for amnesty. And that's what the Dignidad Act, and that's literally what it's called, just to kind of rub salt in the wound. 01:03 They're calling an amnesty bill by its Spanish name. Dignidad. We got to have dignidad. Here is Republican, so-called Republican Representative Maria Salazar of Florida. We give them dignity. At some point in the future, another legislator will write another law to give them path to citizenship. Right now, what we need to do is to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay, to continue working. 01:33 because they are needed. You see, it's what I'm trying to do is to bring some common sense, which is the least common of all senses to this conversation. The economy needs them. They do not have a criminal record. They have not gone into trouble. They have been here for a long time. They have roots in the country. Let them stay. Don't give them any type of federal programs and allow them to pay taxes, help the Social Security fund and let them stay and contribute with the economy with no criminal record. What is wrong with that? 02:02 What is wrong with that is the way that they got here was illegal. Representative Salazar, the first act they committed on American soil was to break the law. That was number one. Numero uno. 02:24 for those of you in Rialenda, with great respect to Rush Limbaugh. That's number one, that's number one thing they did, break the law. And here's the thing, here's the thing, they knew they were breaking the law when they came in. They were certain of it. Because you see, you don't have to sneak somewhere, 02:49 that you're allowed to go. Have you ever noticed that? You don't have to sneak on. 03:00 to, you know, you don't have to sneak into Viva Taco when it's open. You don't have to sneak in. But when you break the window at night and you crawl in, that's the difference. You know you're breaking the law and they knew they were breaking the law. They were absolutely positive of it when it happened. And then as if that's not bad enough, listen to this. This is Byron Donald's. 03:26 This is Byron Dowles who's running for governor of Florida and Trump has endorsed him for now, I would imagine. Modernize a lot of these different visa programs. Do all that work. Do it, get it done. And I think the American people, whether you're liberal or conservative, will say, okay. 03:42 Now that our immigration system is sound and modernized and we've secured our country, now let's take a look at the people who are here illegally. And I think the American people, we're great people. We are good people. We're a beneficent people. And with those people who are here working hard, doing those things that they should be doing as just as good neighbors and good people, we would make them and put them on this pathway to citizenship. But I think the pathway to actually fixing immigration in our country is possible. But we have to have honest conversations with ourselves. We got to have honest brokers, frankly. 04:12 on both sides of the aisle because we can come to a solution that actually respects citizenship in our country and actually creates a stable legal immigration. But it doesn't. You know what it does? It waters down citizenship. It absolutely, it means that being an American citizen 04:32 has no meaning whatsoever. There's just nothing special about it. 04:40 You want to overhaul the visa system here in this country? All right, fine. Let's take a ...
