Rep Maria Salazar reveals 'Dignity Act' is precursor to laws to create 'path to citizenship' for illegal immigrants

Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) said in a recent interview that her bill, the Dignity Act, would pave the way for illegal immigrants to get citizenship down the road.

"We give them dignity. At some point in the future, another legislator will write another law to give them [a] path to citizenship. Right now, what we need to do is to buy peace for these people, allow them to stay, to continue working, because they're needed," Salazar said.
