Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar is forcefully rejecting claims that her bipartisan immigration proposal amounts to "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants as divisions within the Republican Party deepen over the legislation.
The DIGNITY Act, co-sponsored with Veronica Escobar, has drawn sharp criticism from some conservative lawmakers and immigration groups, who argue it would legalize millions of undocumented immigrants. On Wednesday, Salazar clashed with one of them, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), who claimed on X that "The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters."
