Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar recently discussed her perspective on immigration reform and the ongoing efforts in the Senate to find a solution. While the final legislation is yet to be determined, Salazar emphasized the need to address the border crisis.
Salazar proposed a law called the dignity law, which seeks to achieve the same objectives as HR 2, a bill that passed with majority Republican support in the House of Representatives. The primary goal of both bills is to secure the border. Salazar stressed the importance of any self-respecting nation having control over its borders. She highlighted the alarming fact that six million undocumented immigrants have entered the country in the last three years and noted that this situation is unsustainable.
