U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas is blasting the so‑called Dignity Act of 2025 as an amnesty plan dressed up in “border security” talking points.
The Republican from Flower Mound took aim at the plan Tuesday, posting on X, “The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters.”
H.R. 4393, formally titled the DIGNIDAD Act of 2025 (Spanish for dignity), was authored by U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R–FL). It packages some legitimate enforcement ideas with a sweeping new legalization scheme for millions of illegal aliens.
It touts more border infrastructure, asylum tweaks, and a national mandatory E‑Verify system, but at its core the bill creates long‑term “Dignity” status, work permits, and eventual green card pathways for those who entered and remain here illegally.
Salazar accused Gill of not reading the bill, claiming it is not about “shortcuts, giveaways, or blanket forgiveness,” but about pairing firm enforcement with a structured, difficult path for those already here illegally.
Gill clapped back, writing, “Maria, your ‘DIGNIDAD Act’ would give legal status to over 10 million illegal aliens. It’s rank amnesty and everybody knows it. I want dignity for Americans – the people whose interests we represent – not illegal aliens. That means doing what we said we’d do: mass deportations.”
He is urging Republicans to torpedo the bill, warning that GOP members who back it are betraying the base that put them in office.
U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R–Edinburg) is the sole Texas Republican sponsoring the bill.
Currently, the bill sits in multiple committees where it has yet to be given a hearing.
No ads. No paywalls. No government grants. No corporate masters.
Just real news for real Texans.
