Republicans Betray Trump By Backing Amnesty Scheme

Donald Trump returned to the White House with one of the clearest mandates in modern political history: secure the border, deport illegal aliens, and put American workers first. Yet less than six months into his second term, a group of so-called Republicans is openly defying that mandate pushing amnesty bills and urging the administration to weaken enforcement. It’s nothing short of betrayal.

While Democrats march in lockstep behind every radical policy from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, the GOP establishment continues to crumble under pressure from big business donors and corporate lobbyists. This latest revolt is the most brazen yet, with Republican lawmakers joining Democrats in a push to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation.

• California Republicans recently pleaded with the administration to suspend workplace raids, claiming enforcement is “too disruptive” for industries dependent on cheap illegal labor.

• Nebraska’s Don Bacon who’s conveniently retiring has called for a “balanced” approach that would allow many illegal aliens to stay if they haven’t committed “serious” crimes.

• Washington’s Dan Newhouse introduced legislation to grant temporary legal status to farm workers, even those with multiple misdemeanor convictions.

These lawmakers are parroting leftist talking points, insisting that illegal aliens are somehow “law-abiding” while ignoring the basic fact that entering the country illegally is itself a crime. Their allegiance lies not with American citizens but with the corporate farms and packing plants that benefit from a steady stream of cheap, illegal labor.

The worst offender in this GOP betrayal is Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar. Her proposed “Dignity Act” dresses itself up as border security while, in reality, offering a mass amnesty program for tens of millions of illegal immigrants. The bill promises “legal status” to nearly anyone who has been here for more than five years and hasn’t committed a serious felony a move that would effectively reward lawbreakers and encourage even more illegal crossings.

Under the bill, illegal aliens would gain access to taxpayer-funded services, including legal counsel and mental health care, all while ICE agents are told to stand down. Even suspected gang members could slip through, thanks to provisions barring law enforcement from using gang databases as evidence of criminal activity. It’s a lawless free-for-all disguised as “compassion.”

Trump’s administration has already made major strides at the border, reducing crossings by record numbers and cracking down on sanctuary cities. Yet these rogue Republicans are undermining that success to placate donors. Among the 10 co-sponsors of Salazar’s bill are Mario Diaz-Balart (FL), Mike Lawler (NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Don Bacon (NE) all of whom seem more interested in protecting illegal labor than protecting American jobs.

Consider this: more than 6.4 million illegal crossings have been recorded since 2021, costing taxpayers an estimated $182 billion annually in welfare, healthcare, and education. Meanwhile, U.S. wages have stagnated, with industries like construction and agriculture openly relying on illegal workers to suppress pay rates. For these Republicans to advocate legal status for lawbreakers is nothing short of treachery.

Once you start excusing illegal immigration for one group, where does it end? What message does it send when criminals who break into our country get rewarded, while American citizens face IRS crackdowns for minor financial mistakes? The American people voted for Trump twice precisely because he promised to enforce our laws without apology.

The GOP must purge these weak links. Don Bacon is on his way out, but the other co-sponsors of this disastrous bill should face primary challengers. No conservative voter should support a lawmaker who sides with open-borders activists over hardworking Americans.

Trump’s deportation plan is not extreme it’s the bare minimum required to maintain national sovereignty. Those who oppose it are effectively siding with the globalist left and sabotaging our future as a nation.
