Evidence
WASHINGTON, D.C. — This morning, U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) joined bipartisan lawmakers, veterans, families, farmers, faith leaders, employers, and the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) for a press conference at the U.S. Capitol urging passage of the Dignity Act (H.R. 4393).
The Problem Solvers Caucus today endorsed the Dignity Act (H.R. 4393), marking a major step forward for the legislation and underscoring its growing support in Congress. Rep. María Elvira Salazar and bipartisan Members of Congress recently launched the Dignity Coalition, a historic alliance ... to advance the only serious, bipartisan solution ... and help turn growing national support into legislative action.
Salazar and the faith leaders gathered today said America cannot celebrate 250 years of faith, freedom, and human dignity while continuing to ignore a broken immigration system ... Together, they called on Congress to pass the bipartisan Dignity Act and finally deliver a lasting immigration solution rooted in both the rule of law and the nation’s deepest values.
Latest Action: House - 07/15/2025 Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Homeland Security, Ways and Means, Transportation and Infrastructure, Education and Workforce, Oversight and Government Reform, and Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Assessments
The Dignity Act has not passed Congress or become law. Salazar has made substantial same-term efforts toward the promise, including sponsoring or advancing H.R. 4393, building bipartisan support, convening coalitions, and publicly urging passage. However, the official legislative status cited shows only referral to committees, with no enacted or passed bill. Because the promised legislative outcome remains undelivered despite serious effort, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
