🚨 REPUBLICAN REP. MARIA SALAZAR pushes SOFT AMNESTY BILL - "WE NEED HANDS!"

"They are illegals or undocumented, but they have been here for more than X years contributing to the economy!"

"Those people, someone gave them a job and they are needed because we need hands in order to continue being the number one economy in the world."

"No path to citizenship in my law. No amnesty, no path ever. Just bring them out of the shadows, make them pay a fine for seven years, that is billions of dollars to the treasury, make them give us X% of their salary over seven years, no federal programs, no health insurance,  and then they can go back home for Christmas, they can come back, continue working, buying homes, paying taxes, and contributing to the economy."
