Maria Salazar (R-FL) and six House Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, as Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/08\/gop-rep-salazar-six-house-republicans-unveil-amnesty-plan-for-illegal-aliens\/\">reported<\/a>, Salazar, along with a handful of Republican colleagues, introduced \u201cThe Dignity Act\u201d to provide green cards to the nation\u2019s 11 to 22 million. The bill\u2019s co-sponsors are Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), John Curtis (R-UT), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon (R-PR), Tom Reed (R-NY), and Peter Meijer (R-MI).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Most significantly, the amnesty plan includes an expansion of the H-2A and H-2B visa programs that bring tens of thousands of foreign visa workers to take blue-collar agricultural and nonagricultural American jobs each year.<\/p>\n<p>Both visa programs have been used to cut wages by inflating the labor market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a thinly-veiled amnesty and cheap labor expansion program that will not mitigate the displacement of American workers that happens because of illegal immigration and loosely-regulated guest worker programs,\u201d Center for the Immigration Studies\u2019 Jessica Vaughan told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The United States Chamber of Commerce \u2014 a donor to Salazar, Newhouse, Curtis, Sessions, Reed, and Meijer \u2014 praised the amnesty and foreign visa worker expansion. The Chamber represents some of the nation\u2019s largest multinational corporations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis bill would help many companies that are struggling to meet their critical workforce needs,\u201d the Chamber\u2019s Neil Bradley said in a statement. \u201cWe look forward to working with her and her colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass these commonsense reforms to our nation\u2019s broken immigration system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the corporate-funded&nbsp;Niskanen Center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niskanencenter.org\/press-release-niskanen-center-supports-new-immigration-proposal-encourages-bipartisan-negotiations\/\">announced<\/a> that they are \u201cexcited to support\u201d the amnesty and foreign visa worker expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The Niskanen Center is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niskanencenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Niskanen-Center-funding-2-4-2022-1.pdf\">heavily funded<\/a> by multinational corporations like Google and mass immigration groups like the Facebook-linked FWD.us, the Shapiro Foundation, and the&nbsp;W.K. Kellogg Foundation, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIllegal aliens don\u2019t do jobs Americans won\u2019t do, they accept wages that Americans reject,\u201d RJ Hauman, with the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd the reason wages are low is because the illegal alien and guest worker supply continues unabated,\u201d Hauman said. \u201cIt\u2019s a self-perpetuating cycle that needs to be broken with true immigration reforms, not amnesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salazar, in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/florida-gop-immigration-bill-dignified-legalization\">interview<\/a> with Fox News, called the amnesty plan an \u201cinvitation letter for the Browns, the Hispanics, the Latinos \u2026 welcoming them into the Republican Party\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hauman said, \u201cthat idea was rejected long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the 2012 autopsy, the Republican establishment thought amnesty was the ticket to the Latino vote. They were wrong,\u201d Hauman said. \u201cLatinos didn\u2019t care and the base hated it. President Trump saw this as an opportunity and the rest is history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vaughan said the amnesty plan \u201cdoes not seem like a serious proposal\u201d because it includes \u201call the worst elements of failed plans from the past\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Republicans take back control of the House in 2023, we\u2019re confident that this proposal will never see the light of day,\u201d Hauman said.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, in an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/10\/exclusive-kevin-mccarthy-pledges-as-speaker-he-will-not-consider-amnesty-or-gun-control-legislation\/\">exclusive interview<\/a>&nbsp;with Breitbart News, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) vowed not to consider any amnesty plans for illegal aliens should Republicans take back the House in this year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>The amnesty violates that pledge \u2014 indicating that, assuming McCarthy is Speaker and sticks to his word, the proposal stands no chance in a GOP-run House led by McCarthy next Congress.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.
