Rep. Brandon Gill is publicly opposing an immigration bill that he argues would provide amnesty for illegal aliens, even though it is being pushed by some members of the Republican Party.
The legislation, H.R. 4393, is formally titled the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025.
The bill’s full name is the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025.” It was introduced in July by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, along with Democrat co-sponsor Rep. Veronica Escobar.
According to Gill, the bill’s Spanish acronym “DIGNIDAD” is an insult on top of the policy itself.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Gill wrote, “It’s actually not called the ‘Dignity Act’ It’s called the ‘DIGNIDAD Act’ It’s in a foreign language for added insult.”
In another post, Gill wrote, “The clearest way for Republicans to tell our voters we viscerally hate them is passing the ‘Dignity Act’ or any other amnesty bill.”
