Republicans toy with migrant amnesty — and risk destroying their own party

“Dignity” is just another word for “amnesty” in an ill-conceived bill now being pushed by a Miami-area Republican congresswoman. 

Heading into the midterms, the last thing the GOP should be doing is alienating its core voters on immigration.

Rep. Maria Salazar’s legislation does just that.

In the Orwellian way proposed laws are labeled these days, this one is called the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act,” or “DIGNIDAD Act” — Spanish for “dignity.”

President Donald Trump last year signed an executive order designating English the nation’s official language.

Shouldn’t it also be the official language for the short title of a Republican congresswoman’s immigration bill?

The fact Salazar chooses dignidad over “dignity” speaks volumes about whose interests are prioritized here.

The bill would grant legal status to as many as 10.5 million illegal immigrants, while expanding eligibility for yet more newcomers to receive temporary or permanent visas.

The Dignidad Act makes a joke out of Trump’s efforts to deport anyone who’s in this country........
