You would think after the election of Dobald Trump that the Republicans at least would have learned that amnesty is despised by the public yet here we are with an amnesty plan coming from Republicans.
This scheme - being introduced by Republican rep. Maria Elvira Salaza, is and Mike Lawler being referred to as the DIGNITY ACT but it's actual name is the Dignidad Act, and the name alone is insultingly Espaniole.
It will allow illegal aliens to stay in the U.S. and get work permits if they pay a fine aka it's an amnesty.
Sadly a bunch of Republicans have signed on to this:

This is just mind-boggling; the American public HATES illegal immigration and has demanded we put an end to it. Over eighty percent of the public opposes amnesty according to almost all polls - a monumental figure. Yet here we have the REPUBLICANS supporting an amnesty, an amnesty that will give the Democrats a big boost in political power. This after seeing how support for border security and the rest has been wildly popular and taken the GOP from losers to winners.
They are either insane or traitors - take your pick.
The old Establishment Republican Party was enthusiastically in favor of amnesty, you may remember. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wanted it, for instance, and the Republicans wanted their money. So they supported something that was killing the United States and killing their own party and apparently are still willing to do so.
This proves that we still have a lot of work to do to secure the GOP. It is still full of Quislings and traitors and self-seeking scoundrels who do not care about America but only about lining their own pockets.
