“Mr. President, only you have the ability and political courage to fix what others didn’t dare to touch,” Salazar said during a press conference about the legislation in Spanish. “The Dignity Law is your opportunity to achieve the best immigration deal the United States has ever seen. This is your moment, and I believe you are the leader God has chosen to seize it.”

Thank you to @DanaBashCNN for inviting me to discuss the Dignity Act. We had a tough, but important, conversation on why I think the time for immigration reform is now. The status quo lack of clarity isn’t sustainable, and Dignity speaks to both sides: law and compassion. pic.twitter.com/o8FPA4OfOJ

The White House was asked about the legislation Thursday and while the bill hasn’t been thoroughly reviewed, measures currently included are seen as amnesty.

Meanwhile, the White House is touting successful efforts to prompt illegal aliens to self deport.

Editor’s Note: We voted for mass deportations, not mass amnesty. Help us continue to fight back against those trying to go against the will of the American people.
