White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded on Thursday to questions about Rep. Maria Salazar’s Dignity Act, which would give illegal aliens a path to citizenship or renewable seven-year legal status.
Leavitt told the Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese that the President had not seen the legislation and that he “will not support amnesty for illegal aliens in any way.”
WATCH:
Reese: Congresswoman Salazar introduced legislation that would give some illegal immigrants in the country a path to citizenship. Ten Republicans signed on to what she’s calling the Dignity Act. I’m curious what the White House’s position is on the legislation, and if the President would veto this bill, if it made it to his desk?
Leavitt: From my understanding, the White House, nor the President, has actually read through this legislation. We’ve been focused on, of course, the One Big Beautiful Bill, which passed, which is another historic accomplishment of this president in record time, the genius act this week, the rescissions package, that’s been the focus of the White House, but the President has made it very clear he will not support amnesty for illegal aliens in any way.
Karoline Leavitt: President Trump "will not support amnesty for illegal aliens in any way."
