“Dignity Act” would Flood U.S. with Foreign Labor

10 Republicans have joined 11 Democrats to cosponsor Rep. Maria Salazar’s (R-FL) H.R. 4393 (the “Dignity Act“), which would:

• Add over 17 million permanent foreign workers over ten years through amnesty and increases in legal immigration; and
• Permanently increase employment-based immigration by over 100% (roughly 150,000 additional green cards every year).

Voters want LESS immigration; not more.

The immigration surge from 2021-2025 was the largest in U.S. history, doubling down on a broken promise that Washington, D.C. has left unacknowledged and unaddressed for sixty years. Voters decisively backed immigration reductions in the 2024 elections. The Dignity Act flies in the face of that mandate.

Congress needs to hear it. 22 representatives back Salazar’s massive expansion – yet only 5 have signed onto Rep. Eli Crane’s bill to end chain migration and REDUCE immigration.

The Dignity Act undermines historic funding for enforcement

Not one month after Congress secured an historic investment in immigration enforcement through the One Big Beautiful Bill, Rep. Salazar’s H.R. 4393 would make it HARDER to enforce immigration laws by:

• Expanding no-enforcement zones; and
• Eliminating mandatory detention for aliens in expedited removal.

Lower wages is a feature of the Dignity Act, not a bug

The underlying goal of H.R. 4393 is prevent wages from rising. Lower wages is a feature of mass immigration, not a bug.

The Dignity Act signers claim “the economy needs” a massive increase in foreign labor, but that just isn’t true. Increasing immigration by 17 million may serve the interests of a few Americans, but it does NOT serve the NATIONAL INTEREST.

Immigration increases would reverse positive trends for American workers.

• All net job gains over the past six months have gone to U.S.-born workers, thus
• reversing the trend of the past several years.

There are millions more Americans who would benefit from LESS immigration, not more.

• 6 million Americans wanted a job last month but weren’t counted in the labor force
• Software development job postings were down 40% from pre-COVID levels
• Young Americans (under 24) saw the biggest drop in work
  • 58% of students who graduated within the last year are still looking for their first job
  • 20% of white-collar job-seekers have been searching for work for at least 10 to 12 months
  • 40% of unemployed people said they didn’t land a single job interview in 2024.
  • 4.3 million young people are now NEETs: not in education, employment, or training.

Mass immigration – legal or illegal – makes it harder to bring Americans back into the economic mainstream. There is no job Americans won’t do.
