Groups tied to the left-wing billionaire George Soros are rallying in support of a Republican congresswoman&#8217;s plan to give millions of illegal aliens legal status in the United States.
Rep. Maria Salazar&#8217;s (R-FL) Dignity Act would allow illegal aliens to apply for a renewable, seven-year legal status, so long as they don’t have a criminal record beyond illegal entry. Illegal aliens who’ve been shielded from deportation under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program would be allowed to gain permanent legal status.
Conservatives have slammed the legislation as a handout to illegal aliens. But liberal groups, some with a history of supporting the legalization of all illegal aliens, are lining up behind the joint effort from Salazar and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX).
That includes several organizations with ties to George Soros, the leftist billionaire and Democrat donor who has <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2022/10/01/soros-open-society-foundation-millions-pro-amnesty-pro-illegal-immigration-groups/">bankrolled</a> efforts across the country to encourage mass immigration and offer mass amnesty to illegal aliens before leveraging new immigrants as a Democratic voting bloc.
One <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-soros-backed-organizations-leverage-waves-of-new-immigrants-to-sway-elections">Soros-backed group</a> tracked the demographics of key swing states and worked to naturalize immigrants to “sway the outcome of national, state, and local elections.”

Another Soros-backed group, called United We Dream, raked in $700,000 from the far-left billionaire as it called for an amnesty for all illegal aliens, the closing of ICE detention facilities, and the defunding of ICE and Border Patrol.
Now, Soros-aligned organizations are lining up behind the Dignity Act.
One radical organization that advocates for an amnesty for all illegal aliens, FWD.us, came out <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-reintroduction-of-the-bipartisan-dignity-act/">in support</a> of Salazar’s bill in a statement that also bashed President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and “attacks on immigrant communities.”
“The bipartisan Dignity Act is a much-needed step forward. We thank Congresswomen Salazar and Escobar, along with the bill’s other co-sponsors, for reintroducing this important bipartisan legislation,” the far-left group wrote.
The organization doubled down on its support for mass amnesty for all illegal aliens, framing the Dignity Act as a step towards the group’s end goal.
“We will continue to fight for a more fair and just immigration system, including a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants building their lives in the United States. We hope today’s reintroduction will be met by more steps towards commonsense immigration reform,” the group stated.
The organization frequently <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-trump-administrations-plan-to-end-tps-for-honduras-and-nicaragua/">criticizes</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-trump-administration-executive-orders-on-immigration/">policies</a> on immigration and <a href="https://www.fwd.us/news/fwd-us-statement-on-the-2024-election-results/">complained</a> when he won the 2024 election.
The group’s partner organization, the Fwd.us Education Fund, has <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=fwd.us">received nearly $600,000</a> from the Open Society Foundation, a project of billionaire Democrat donor and far-left philanthropist George Soros. One $125,000 grant bankrolled an effort “to catalogue and provide comprehensive legal analysis of federal immigration policy.” The Fwd.us Education Fund shares the same board members as Fwd.us.
The group also <a href="https://www.fwd.us/team/executive/todd-schulte/">opposed</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s Remain in Mexico policy, which bars illegal aliens from entering the country while asylum claims are being adjudicated. FWD.us did not respond to a request for comment.
FWD.us is far from the only leftist organization that has come out in support of the effort to grant legal status to millions of illegal aliens.
Far-left organization UnidosUS also sang the praises of the bill online. “The reintroduction of the Dignity Act comes at a critical time. Immigrant families across the country are living with fear and uncertainty amid rising enforcement and threats of mass deportation,” the group wrote in a <a href="https://x.com/weareunidosus/status/1945595952099721670?s=46&amp;t=Xt7LDGYR54I2nQa-aK0rOA">post on X</a>. “We welcome bipartisan efforts to protect long-residing immigrants who have built their lives here. Any serious solution must offer stability, legal status and a path forward.”
The organization was awarded a $22 million grant from the Biden administration to encourage that “vulnerable populations,” including illegal aliens, receive the COVID-19 vaccine, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-government-is-spending-22-million-to-help-illegal-immigrants-get-covid-vaccines">reported</a>.
The group also came out <a href="https://unidosus.org/press-releases/unidosus-condemns-us-senate-for-passing-president-trumps-cruel-costly-and-harmful-federal-budget-bill/">against</a> Trump&#8217;s budget bill, arguing that it will allow the administration to &#8220;turbocharge its chaotic, malicious and unlawful deportation machine.&#8221;
The group’s sister organization, UnidosUS Action, <a href="https://www.unidosusaf.org/pathtocitizenship">called</a> for illegal aliens to receive a pathway to citizenship in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. That group has raked in <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=unidosus">half a million dollars</a> from the Open Society Foundations, with all of the money going to “support policy advocacy on immigration.”
UnidosUS told The Daily Wire that it has “consistently voiced support for bipartisan bills that offer immigrants the stability they deserve.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s why we welcome the Dignity Act, a genuine bipartisan effort that protects long-settled immigrants who contribute to our country from deportation while allowing employers to retain their workforce,&#8221; the group explained.
The American Immigration Council, which has received <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=American+immigration+council+">nearly $2 million</a> from the Open Society Foundations and <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/taking-action-trump-first-100-days/">dubbed</a> Trump&#8217;s immigration agenda &#8220;cruel,&#8221; also appears to support the legislation, favorably showcasing it on its site.
“Members of Congress reintroduced what has sadly become an increasingly rare bit of legislation: an immigration reform bill aimed at addressing large-scale systematic problems with our immigration system,” the organization wrote in a <a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/legislators-immigration-reform-reintroduced-dignidad-act/">glowing review</a> of the bill, which called it “one of the most sweeping attempts to modify the immigration system that has been proposed in years.”
The organization has received <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=American+immigration+council+">numerous grants</a> from Soros’s foundation, including funding “to support strategies that ensure legal protections for immigrants and demonstrate the value of immigrants to America,” “to develop advocacy strategies around federal immigration policy,” and to “support policy advocacy on immigration.”
The American Immigration Council did not respond to a request for comment.
While Salazar’s legislation has been celebrated by leftist organizations, conservative politicians and organizations have spoken out against it.
“Some of my colleagues in Congress want to reward illegal aliens with amnesty,” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) charged in a post on X in an apparent <a href="https://x.com/RepTiffany/status/1945944219438260265">reference</a> to Salazar’s effort to legalize illegal aliens. “No amnesty — only mass deportations.”
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) told The Daily Wire that it opposes the Dignity Act, calling it a “de facto amnesty.”
“‘A pathway to citizenship’ is just a more verbose term for amnesty. As for the non-DACA beneficiaries of this bill, being allowed to remain here legally indefinitely is still a de facto amnesty,” FAIR Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire.
“The five-year requirement for eligibility seems to have been carefully chosen to predate the onset of the Biden administration. But, nevertheless, by FAIR&#8217;s estimates, there were some 15 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. prior to Biden taking office — which would mean that the bill would grant legal status to an enormous population of illegal aliens,” Mehlman added.
He added that the bill would almost certainly provide a way to give full citizenship to those granted renewable legal status under Salazar’s bill.
“There is also pretty much close to a 100% chance that within a few years, there would be an effort to put these millions of people with renewable status on ‘a pathway to citizenship’ as well,” Mehlman charged. “We would almost certainly hear the same arguments that are being made for granting DACA beneficiaries a full amnesty.”
Salazar did not respond to a request for comment.
