I've been in this rabbit hole for years now. I used to believe that "Birthright Citizenship" was in our Constitution, and began researching it in order to better argue with conservatives and originalists who claimed it wasn't. But the more I read and studied the 14th, Wong Kim Ark, etc… the more I realized it was not only *not as simple as I had assumed* but it seemed to me to be the opposite: that the 14th was very clear about which classes were excluded, and the Wong ruling also did not extend to illegals and birth tourists. It became pretty obvious that so-called "Birthright Citizenship" in the US was just another progressive extrapolation that has been wrongly assumed as precedent, and simply hasn't been challenged due to a very powerful combination of progressive ideology and predatory economic interests. But the language of the 14th is not complicated, and it still means what the framers intended: that the 14th was written for the children of ex slaves, and clearly excludes (as does Wong) classes like visitors, illegal immigrants and birth tourists through their clearly stated "allegiance" standard and the full "jurisdiction" requirement. This article is great, and touches on some of the same important details that the "accepted narrative" pushers pretend don't exist. lawliberty.org/allegiance-bir…

@BasedMikeLee My guess is that you will end up supporting that Salazar bill or facilitate its passage by voting against it as cover. We all know SAVE is dead, and now this new bill aims to mock and humiliate us while you roll over. It was a humiliation play. Fuck you.

There is indeed a pathway to citizenship under existing law. We shouldn’t create a special, expedited pathway exclusively for those who have entered the U.S. illegally. That’s not “dignity”; it’s an insult to those who faithfully follow the law while trying to get here.

I live in @MaElviraSalazar District 27 in Miami. As a naturalized U.S. citizen and legal immigrant, I strongly oppose the Dignity Act. This isn’t political for me—it’s personal. My father was murdered in 1989 by a Marielito—the result of catastrophic immigration policies and failed decisions— my family lived the consequences of broken immigration policy in the most tragic way possible! And now… After 20 million+ illegals were allowed to enter the USA illegally under the Biden-Harris administration, granting legal status NOW to those who have been here for more than 5 years sends the wrong message. It tells the world— break the law, wait it out, and get rewarded—no matter the cost to American families! We cannot ignore the lessons of the past. Bad policies have consequences, and some of us have paid the ultimate price. I will NOT support legislation that risks repeating those mistakes or undermines the security of our communities. Compassion matters. But so do: • The safety of Americans • The security of our children • Accountability • The rule of law 🇺🇸 I am a firm NO on any proposal that gives a soft pass to illegals—especially at a time like this. The Dignity Act is the opposite of what many Republicans in our district voted for. We voted Trump/Vance for a reason: secure the border, enforce the law, include mass deportations. As voters, we must demand law, order, and accountability at home in the great US of A 🇺🇸!!

@SenJackyRosen We are going to defeat you, you fucking foreign operator.

There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.” The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.

@RepMariaSalazar God, how we fucking hate you. You are American patriots greatest enemy now. Fucking cunt.

WRONG.. and it’s ironic because this completely ignores what the bill actually does. It does NOT block deportations. Recent arrivals (who came under Biden) are deportable. Criminals are deportable. No exceptions so ICE can focus on their important mission. This section ensures people eligible for the Dignity Program (must have evidence of being here BEFORE 2021) are not deported while they are applying for Dignity Program. If they fail to meet processing requirements, they will be deported. However, the 24 month timeline is likely too long. It can be shortened significantly to sync up with the time needed to stand up the Dignity program. That’s how legislating works… it gets refined. And yes, I welcome the feedback. As my #1 fan @basedMikeLee can tell you, we are on the 3rd(?) version of the SAVE America Act because small changes to text actually have big implications. Most bills are amended along the way.

@Arias4Congress You probably love amnesty. Come out against it or fuck off.

Thank you to everyone who came out this morning. Your voices are driving this campaign, and I'm listening. Let's get to work. #AriasForCongress #FL27

@TheNicoleComer No one decent is running against her.

Everyone that’s upset about Maria Elvira Salazar & her taking her mask off very publicly regarding Amnesty .. ( I knew she’s been like this for years ) There’s still time for someone to file & primary her. The deadline is June. WHO DO U KNOW in Florida that can do this ?? MAGA

The swamp and their allies in corporate media are renewing their push for the largest amnesty in American history – the DIGNIDAD Act – a bill so bad for the American people they couldn’t even name it in English. As if naming their amnesty bill in a foreign language wasn’t insulting enough, the swamp is trying to convince you their amnesty bill, which would give legal status to 13+ million illegal aliens, isn’t actually amnesty. What else are you supposed to call allowing foreign nationals who broke our laws to come into our country to stay here? Republicans won in 2024 in large part because we correctly identified the amnesty and open borders being pushed by Democrats are reckless, dangerous, and compromise the American dream for natural-born citizens. The American people voted for Republicans to secure the border and deport illegal aliens. But we are already starting to see some in our party seek to betray that promise. We read the bill, and here are some of the ways the DIGNIDAD Act (also known as the Dignity Act) betrays the American people: Sec. 1122 – Codifies a Biden-era policy which establishes sanctuary areas for illegal aliens in every city and town in America by prohibiting immigration enforcement actions “in or “near” any courthouse, school, medical facility, place which provides social services, area where there are parades, demonstrations, or rallies, any place where religious or civil ceremonies occur, any place children gather, or any place which provides emergency or disaster assistance. Sec. 1501 & 1502 – Creates up to 3 “humanitarian campuses” along our Southern border to quickly shepherd aliens into our country, requires 72 hour “rest periods” for aliens arriving at these campuses, and expedited procedures to give aliens asylum. Sec. 1503 – If these campuses along our border weren’t bad enough, this creates up to 3 facilities in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean to pre-screen and process aliens seeking to come to America. Sec. 1511 – Hidden in this section is the codification of the Flores Settlement Agreement, which incentivizes the exploitation and trafficking of children across our borders. Sec. 1516 – Provides student loan forgiveness for 75% of law school loans of lawyers who provide legal services to illegal aliens seeking to enter our country at the campuses established in the bill. Sec. 2102 – Grants conditional PERMANENT resident status to approximately 2.5 million illegal aliens, waiving almost all inadmissibility and deportability criteria in current law and even explicitly allowing certain CRIMINALS to become permanent residents. Sec. 2104 – Grants full unconditional PERMANENT resident status to the approximately 2.5 illegal aliens from Sec. 2102 so long as they earn ANY income for a total of 4 years or obtain almost any education credential after high school or can demonstrate an “inability” or “hardship” as to why they can’t meet this incredibly low bar. Sec. 2203 – Prohibits the deportation of any illegal alien who is prima facie eligible for the amnesty programs in the bill, requires the DHS Secretary to cancel existing orders of removal for those individuals, and gives advance parole and a work permit to any alien who applies for an adjustment of status under these amnesty programs. Sec. 2206 – Creates an appeals process for aliens who had their amnesty applications denied and prohibits DHS from deporting any individuals while the lengthy appellate process unfolds. Sec. 2208 – Prohibits DHS from disclosing or using information provided in these amnesty applications for the purpose of immigration enforcement and creates a $10,000 penalty for doing so. This means if someone’s application for amnesty is denied, DHS can’t use the information they provided to locate, apprehend, and remove them. Title III of Division B (Secs. 2301 – 2305) – Creates the so-called “Dignity Program” to provide indefinitely renewable legal status and work permits to approximately 10.5 million illegal aliens who have been here since December 31, 2020. All the aliens would have to do is pay what amounts to approximately $83/month over a seven-year period, be employed in any manner (including self-employment) or attend any post-secondary classes for 4 years. DHS would be prohibited from deporting or fining any illegal alien who even appear prima facie eligible for this program for 2 years. Those granted amnesty in this program would be exempt from payroll taxes – making it cheaper to employ these amnesty recipients than natural-born Americans. They would even be allowed to claim non-means tested public benefits and certain CRIMINALS would be granted amnesty under the program. Sec. 3112 – Allows the admission of certain inadmissible and deportable aliens to the United States and allows DHS to terminate removal proceedings, decline to order the removal of, and grant these aliens permission to reapply for admission to the U.S. This allows for broad chain migration and an administrative pathway to amnesty. Secs. 3201 – 3203; 3301 – 3304 – Dramatically increase the number of foreign nationals allowed into our country through various legal pathways, including for nonimmigrant work visas and permanent residence. The sponsor of the DIGNIDAD Act, a so-called Republican, says this bill is a one-time fix. This is exactly what Republicans were told during the Reagan administration when they were fooled into supporting a one-time, last amnesty for 3 million illegal aliens in exchange for promises of border security and immigration enforcement which never materialized. It was one of Republicans’ greatest mistakes of the last 50 years. We will not be fooled again. The sponsor of the DIGNIDAD Act, when faced with pushback the bill didn’t go far enough to help illegal aliens, said “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…allow them to stay”. Mark my words, green cards are just their first step. If we allow it, citizenship will follow. They will vote; their children will vote. The sponsor of the bill says this is about “DIGNITY” (or DIGNIDAD). Dignity for whom? Certainly not for the American workers who will have to compete with illegal aliens given amnesty in this bill for jobs. Certainly not for American families who will have to compete with illegal aliens given amnesty in this bill for housing. Certainly not for the victims of illegal aliens granted amnesty in this bill who go on to commit crimes. Certainly not for the natural-born Americans who will watch their culture, their country, and their American dream slip away from them. We will not bend. We will not break. NO to the DIGNIDAD Act. America FIRST, Amnesty NEVER. us

This is a red line we cannot cross.

@RepMariaSalazar You are a fucking liar. Reagan fell for this. We won’t.

No it won’t. It actually locks in permanent enforcement measures (border security, mandatory E-verify, and ends catch and release for asylum seekers). None of these are currently codified in law, and until they are, they can keep being changed by the Executive. And therefore border and enforcement policy will keep changing whenever the White House changes. Participants in Dignity Program (not Amnesty) cannot become citizens and therefore cannot vote. The bill actually increases penalties for any illegal or non-citizen caught voting or attempting to vote, as well as for attempted border re-crossers, child sex traffickers, etc.

🚨 Meet Christian Maxwell, she won her primary in (IL-01) with (65%) of the vote She ran on cleaning up the voter rolls and getting the Save America Act passed Anti- establishment and represents a seismic shift of blacks joining the (R) party Let's give her a big MAGA welcome Do you firmly agree that Christian Maxwell is a real patriot? A. Huge Yes B. No

This bitch lies with a straight face.

This asshole works for WEF. He will ruin Florida.

I expect more of this.

@Native_living @NickNehamas lol

@NickNehamas Has a 12 year old son so been here a while. You claim he was granted asylum. So why is he detained, unless he didn't actually face persecution in Iran. Seems more like it. Bet he would love to have back the money he paid to the judge.

NEW: President Trump has turned the immigration courts into part of his vast deportation machine by pressuring judges to deny people asylum and firing those who do not comply. The asylum rate has fallen to its lowest rate in decades.

@NickNehamas Sounds right. The Jewish case is a good one. There are few legitimate asylum cases today.

In interviews w/ the NYT, judges described overt pressure from their bosses. In a previously unreported whistle-blower complaint, one fired judge said he was told about granting asylum: “Maybe if you were Jewish and escaping Nazi Germany in 1943, you should get it.”

What a bunch of assholes. Republicans are as corrupt as dems.

@SenateGOP @SenatorWarnock @SenRubenGallego Umm, you are in the majority. What the fuck is this? It is your own leader that refuses to pass it. Fuck off.

Republican and Democrat voters across America want voter ID. Supposedly, these Senate Democrats did too, until they voted against it.

Barack Obama can show an ID to vote for himself for president. Barack Obama can require visitors to his presidential library to show an ID to enter. But requiring voter ID through the Save America Act is where Democrats draw the line.

The Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, Illinois is giving Illinois residents free admission on certain days... But in order to gain free admission, Illinois residents have to PROVE that they're actually residents... BY SHOWING VALID PHOTO ID. Must mean Obama and his library want to prevent minorities and married women from accessing the library right? Aren't those the rules?
