From the July 18, 2025, edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, streamed on Rumble

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): And so I saw this clip, and I know her. I know Maria Elvira Salazar. I — we actually campaigned for her once. She's in a very Cuban district, which is unusual. Why she's so pro-amnesty being from a Cuban Venezuelan district because there's not a lot of illegals in her — in the Cuban demographic. Many of them have come here legally or they came under legitimate asylum or refugee status. So it doesn't make a lot of sense. It'd make a lot more sense if she was a representative from a border town in Texas.

But remember, we warned about this a couple weeks ago. I heard whispers of this. Yesterday, a U.S. senator who I really respect text me, Charlie, real chats for amnesty on the hill. In fact, let me read you the text from this U.S. senator. Let me see here. Senator. Here it is. He said, we gotta kill this amnesty push right now. I'm so grateful for your post on this. We really need to go hard on this. I said, is there really a big amnesty push request? He said, there is. Yes. Unless we kill this quickly.

So what's happened? On Congress — so the president doesn't want amnesty. But Congress is gonna try to frame this in a manipulative and deceitful way. Again, President Donald Trump, he has been resolute and stalwart in this. So let's play this. 

This is Maria Elvira Salazar, chief amnesty czar of the US Congress, the Dignity Act. What is the one that I wanna play, though? Oh, yeah. Play cut 402. This is Miss Amnesty. Oh, no. No. No. It's not amnesty, but it's amnesty. If you ever say it's not amnesty, but it's 100% amnesty. This is low-calorie amnesty. I'm sorry. It's still amnesty.

...

KIRK: First of all, Maria Elvira Salazar, let me tell you exactly how this is going to work. If you pass this ridiculous Dignity Act, this is what will happen. Every illegal will claim that they have been here for more than five years, thus ending all deportation in real time. You see, Maria, she's lying to you. Maria is deceiving you. Congresswoman Elvira Salazar is a snake on this topic. I just gotta be honest. Because she's like, oh, you know, we're gonna have some dignity. No. No. No. This is not the Dignity Act. This is the Stop Deportation Act of 2025.
