Eight GOP Reps. Who Co-Sponsored Amnesty Bill Voted Out of Office

Republican voters in search of silver linings need look no further than the collective fate of their party’s own amnesty-mongers.

Tuesday’s midterm tsunami, which wiped out GOP control of Congress, also washed away a group of Republican legislators best known for having betrayed the party’s base by co-sponsoring the DIGNIDAD Act of 2025, an amnesty bill masquerading as immigration reform.

As for the bill itself, GOP Rep. Maria Salazar of Florida originally sponsored the DIGNIDAD Act in July 2025.

“The economy needs them,” she said at the time, referring to illegal aliens.

In April, during a renewed push for the DIGNIDAD Act, Salazar tried gaslighting GOP voters into believing that the bill did not provide for amnesty. Her efforts failed. One prominent conservative on social media even accused her of supporting “slave labor.”

That leaves 15 pro-amnesty Republicans up for re-election in 2026. Of those 15, eight have already gone down to defeat, according to the Associated Press.

The vanquished traitors included Reps. Mike Lawler of New York; David G. Valadao and Young Kim of California; Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania; Gabe Evans of Colorado; Monica De La Cruz of Texas; Jen A. Kiggans of Virginia; and Zach Nunn of Iowa. Kim lost to a fellow Republican. Evans, Valadao, and De La Cruz lost by double digits.

In fact, of the 18 pro-amnesty House Republicans with voting privileges (that is, excluding the two Pacific island delegates), only five will certainly return to Congress in 2027.

In short, after watching their elected leaders squander two years of unfettered power, GOP voters need some good news.

On that front, the collective fate of our shameless amnesty-mongers is probably the best we can do.
