Rep. María Elvira Salazar, who has represented Florida’s 27th district in the U.S. Congress since 2021, recently announced the imminent reintroduction of her proposed immigration legislation, the Dignity Act, through a series of social media posts. The tweets outline her commitment to reforming the U.S. immigration system and emphasize what she describes as a firm and necessary solution.
On July 13, 2025, Salazar posted: “En solo 2 días… Vuelvo al Congreso con la Ley Dignidad: una solución firme, real y necesaria para arreglar de una vez por todas el sistema migratorio. ¡Prepárense! “ She used the hashtag #DIGNITYACT to highlight her legislative effort.
The following day, July 14, 2025, she reiterated her stance by stating: “Somos la nación más noble sobre la faz de la Tierra. Es hora de que nuestro sistema migratorio esté a la altura. Mañana llega la Ley de Dignidad. Sin amnistía. Sin excusas. Una solución real para arreglar, de una vez por todas, nuestro sistema migratorio, con orden,” emphasizing both urgency and a promise for order without amnesty or excuses.
Also on July 14, Salazar addressed an English-speaking audience with: “We are the most noble nation on earth and a nation that respects the rule of law. It’s time our immigration system reflected that. The Dignity Act is coming in one day. No amnesty. No excuses. Let’s fix our system once and for all with dignity.”
María Elvira Salazar was born in Miami in 1961 and continues to reside there today at age 61. She earned her BA from the University of Miami in 1983 and previously served in the Florida House of Representatives before being elected to Congress.
