Excerpt: Mass Amnesty And Fraud — The New Bill That Invites Both
The DIGNIDAD Act is an amnesty bill, whether politicians call it that or not.
By Mark Krikorian on May 7, 2026
There was a lot of talk recently about the DIGNIDAD Act – a “comprehensive immigration reform” measure championed by Florida congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar and sponsored by 20 of her fellow Republicans and an equal number of Democrats.
Salazar has been pushing this bill (whose acronym is the Spanish word for “dignity”) for a couple of Congresses now and is sure to keep at it, maybe even with a debate she’s proposed with GOP freshman superstar Brandon Gill.
Much of the controversy surrounding the bill has focused on whether it should be considered an “amnesty” for the millions of illegal immigrants it would give work permits to.
Of course it’s an amnesty.
But that’s less interesting than a question no one seems to have thought to ask: Is such a huge undertaking even administratively feasible without inviting massive fraud?
