While President Trump oversaw the war in Iran, members of his own party plotted against him.
This nefarious scheme could have blown up the Trump Presidency.
A revolt was brewing, and these 20 RINOs just stabbed Trump in the back
RINO Florida Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar seized on the opening created by the Iran War and President Trump’s attention on foreign affairs to try to rush an amnesty bill called the “DIGNIDAD, or DIGNITY, Act” through Congress.
19 other RINOs joined Salazar in cosponsoring the bill, and they were David Valadao, Dan Newhouse, Young Kim, Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Lawler, Jen Kiggans, Tony Gonzales, Monica De La Cruz, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Anthony D’Esposito, Nick LaLota, Marc Molinaro, Andrew Garbarino, Juan Ciscomani, Don Bacon, John Duarte, Mike Garcia, and Ken Calvert.
Conservatives were furious.
Commentator Matt Walsh raged that these RINOs had so little respect for conservatives that they slapped a Spanish name on their amnesty bill.
“They actually gave the amnesty bill a Spanish name. These people just have no respect for their voters at all. They’re spitting in your face, and they don’t care if you know it,” Walsh posted on X.
Texas Congressman Brandon Gill warned that this was a mass amnesty giveaway that granted citizenship to every single one of the likely 20 million illegal aliens who snuck into the country before 2021 and expanded legal immigration to steal spots at colleges and universities from Americans.
Gill wrote:
Make no mistake about it: The so-called ‘Dignity Act’ is amnesty.
It gives amnesty to any illegal alien who crossed the border before 2021, any illegal married to a U.S. citizen, and also massively expands visas, including permanent residence for F-1 international students.
It would bring mass deportations to an essential halt as illegal aliens flood the courts with their ‘dignity’ claims, whether they’re eligible or not.
Any Republican supporting this is supporting amnesty and betraying the voters who elected them.
Others dug into the bill and found that just applying for the so-called “dignity” program granted illegal aliens amnesty.
I actually read her bill, and she’s absolutely right. It’s not just “amnesty,” it’s so much worse ⬇️

1. Sec. 2303(d): Prohibits DHS from deporting any illegal who simply applies for her “dignity” program.

Salazar’s claim that it prevented criminal illegal aliens from gaining amnesty was also laughably false, as the bill allowed illegal alien gang members convicted of offenses like beating their wives to earn amnesty.
The “DIGNIDAD” act has a section dedicated to making sure illegal immigrants flagged as criminal gang members can still get green cards https://t.co/pm1wAaDGM7 pic.twitter.com/yMWRW5rqHs

Pro-Trump pundit Mike Cernovich warned Trump supporters about forming coalitions with the neoconservatives who supported the Iran War that the loudest voices in Washington who support the war actually hate Trump and his voters.
Cernovich pointed out that Salazar and the other neoconservative RINOs would pretend to make common cause with Trump to convince him to launch the wars they supported and that once they got what they wanted, they would immediately betray the Trump movement.
“Neocons also introduced an amnesty bill for illegal immigrants earlier today, when they thought all eyes would be on Iran. We have to be honest. They hate us. They hate our guts. They are so full of hatred. They are not allies. They do not see us as human beings,” Cernovich declared.
