In the 90s, everyone became very familiar with the term \u201cwag the dog,\u201d in the political context. It was a way of describing how, every time he got into trouble, Bill Clinton ordered a bombing campaign to distract everyone. And of course, the term has lived on. When the United States began bombing Iran a month ago, there were similar allegations \u2014 which, as I said at the time, never really made much sense \u2014 that Donald Trump had ordered the attack in order to distract everyone from the release of the Epstein Files. It was always a strange claim to make, because there\u2019s nothing in the Epstein Files that actually implicates Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n

But even if the Trump administration isn\u2019t \u201cwagging the dog,\u201d as the saying goes, it stands to reason that other politicians in Washington might try to take advantage of the conflict. When millions of Americans are waiting to see if the president of the United States is going to wipe out an entire civilization, it becomes a lot easier to slip some things past them. That\u2019s one way to explain the <\/span>new push<\/span><\/a> by Florida Congresswoman and anchor baby Mar\u00eda Salazar to pass the so-called \u201cDignidad Act,\u201d which translates to \u201cDignity Act.\u201d You see, the name is written in Spanish, just to underscore the point that your country doesn\u2019t belong to you anymore. In particular, Salazar has now launched a nationwide tour to promote this legislation and to assemble what she calls a \u201cDignity Coalition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday I briefly\u00a0talked about<\/a> the absurdity of this legislation and how it constitutes an egregious betrayal of American interests on multiple levels.\u00a0It\u2019s treasonous, actually. A majority of the American public voted for Donald Trump to carry out a lawful campaign of mass deportation. That\u2019s because we recognized, as a country, that we\u2019re transforming into the third world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything is becoming more expensive and dangerous, we\u2019re being defrauded at a historic scale, and it\u2019s difficult to find jobs and housing \u2014 all because we\u2019ve imported tens of millions of people who have no right to live in this country. But instead of supporting the deportation of these criminals, Republicans like Salazar are attempting to grant mass amnesty. Salazar is also putting together splashy videos like this one to sell the idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have dignity and be proud of supporting a Bill that will support economic growth. 10 Million illegal immigrants deserve to work legally and without fear.<\/p>\n

She says that the Dignidad Act is \u201cwhat 10 million illegal immigrants deserve.\u201d You won\u2019t find a more remarkable sentence from a sitting member of Congress. At the precise moment when the SAVE Act is stalled out in the Senate, one of the most prominent Republicans in Congress is telling us that illegal aliens \u201cdeserve\u201d an entirely new legal system, just to shield them from deportation. Well, no, actually, they don\u2019t deserve that. 10 million illegal immigrants don\u2019t \u201cdeserve\u201d anything \u2014 except for immediate deportation. Keep in mind that in order for someone to \u201cdeserve\u201d something, someone else has to owe that thing to them. The idea that American citizens owe something \u2014 anything at all \u2014 to foreigners, to citizens of other nations who are flouting our laws, is deranged in the extreme.<\/span><\/p>\n

And by the way, if these people really wanted \u201cdignity,\u201d or \u201cdignidad,\u201d they\u2019d go back where they came from, instead of committing crimes for their own benefit. In the meantime, the government should try prioritizing the \u201cdignity\u201d of its own citizens. <\/span>How many Americans have been killed by foreign truck drivers who can\u2019t even read our street signs? <\/span>How many Americans have seen their car insurance premiums skyrocket because half the people on the road are driving like they\u2019re back home in Mumbai? <\/span><\/p>\n

How many Americans \u2014 including students on college campuses \u2014 no longer feel safe going out for a jog, or using public transit, because they might turn out to be the next Laken Riley? <\/span>How many public schools are now delivering their daily announcements in Spanish over the PA system?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DailyWire+\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How many Americans are going paycheck-to-paycheck just to afford their health insurance premiums, while illegal aliens in blue states receive Medicaid and food stamps \u2014 something we\u2019re told is supposedly impossible? <\/span>How many people are struggling to find work because every employer in their industry is looking to hire H-1B\u2019s? <\/span>How many Americans \u2014 the ones who are fortunate enough to have a job \u2014 are watching most of their paycheck disappear before they even receive it? How many of them are furious that 40 percent of their salary is earmarked for welfare payments, which go directly into the hands of foreign fraudsters who are running \u201cat-home daycares,\u201d \u201chome hospice services,\u201d and \u201cautism treatment centers\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want some more \u201cdignity\u201d in this country, start doing something about those problems. Those are actual problems, and the people who elected you are the ones who are facing them. So just at the outset, without reading a word of this bill, it\u2019s obviously junk. And every leader of the Republican Party \u2014 including Trump and Mike Johnson \u2014 should say so. But they aren\u2019t doing that, at least not yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it\u2019s important to drill down into the specifics of this legislation, as I alluded to yesterday. As bad as this bill obviously is, it\u2019s actually about ten times worse than it appears. For one thing, Salazar herself has no idea what she\u2019s doing. She has no way of ensuring that her law will only apply to 10 million people or 100 million people. She has no way of knowing whether these foreigners (and their children) are going to contribute to our economy or become permanent leeches. She\u2019s making those claims, but in reality, she has absolutely no idea what\u2019s going to happen if this bill ever becomes law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Section 2101, which implements the so-called \u201cDream Act.\u201d This would award lawful status to any alien who was \u201c18 years of age or younger on the date on which the alien entered the United States and has continuously resided in the United States since such entry.\u201d Additionally, the alien must have been \u201ccontinuously physically present in the United States since January 1, 2021,\u201d and he must have obtained some kind of educational credential (or been in the process of obtaining one). He can\u2019t be a national security threat either, nor can he be guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude, multiple criminal convictions with an aggregate sentence of five years or more, or drug trafficking and prostitution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although there\u2019s an asterisk on that: \u201cFor humanitarian purposes, family unity, or if otherwise in the public interest, the Secretary may waive \u2026 consideration of\u2014 (i) one misdemeanor offense if the alien has not been convicted of any offense in the 5-year period preceding the date on which the alien applies for the Dignity Program; or (ii) up to two misdemeanor offenses if the alien has not been convicted of any offense in the 10-year period preceding the date on which the alien applies for the Dignity Program.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So you can still commit crimes in this country, depending on what those crimes are. And despite those additional crimes \u2014 on top of illegal entry \u2014 you can qualify for the Dignidad Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, no one voted for this. No one wants this. It\u2019s overcomplicating something that is extremely straightforward: Illegal aliens are illegal aliens. If you came here illegally, then you have to go back to where you came from. Period, no further discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

But even if, for some unknown reason, you\u2019re tempted to entertain this provision \u2014 maybe you watch a lot of network television, or maybe you\u2019re an affluent white liberal woman \u2014 then you should know that, in fact, there\u2019s absolutely no way to verify any of this. We have absolutely no way of knowing when, exactly, an illegal alien entered this country. Every single one of them, under this bill, has an incentive to lie about their age and claim they entered the United States before they were 18. But we really have no way of knowing the truth, because they snuck into the country illegally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, we have no way of verifying that these people \u201ccontinuously\u201d remained in the United States, without interruption, for five years. There are American citizens who have lived their entire lives in this country who would have a difficult time proving that they never left, even for a short period of time. (And it\u2019s insane for Democrats, or anyone else, to suggest otherwise. These are the same people who claim it\u2019s impossible for anyone to get an ID or a driver\u2019s license in this country. But now they\u2019re going to ask these people for definitive proof that they\u2019ve never left the country in five years? How exactly is that going to work?)<\/span><\/p>\n

Historically, the federal government has made no real effort to verify the age of anyone crossing the border. And it often leads to catastrophe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s just one example from the Biden administration:<\/span><\/p>\n
