Representative María Elvira Salazar of Florida's 27th district shared several statements via social media on March 28, 2025, regarding legislative efforts and policies related to immigration and national security. Salazar is currently serving in the U.S. Congress, having replaced Donna Shalala in 2021, and has previously served in the Florida House of Representatives. Salazar, who was born in Miami in 1961 and graduated from the University of Miami in 1983, currently resides in Miami.
On March 28, 2025, Rep. Salazar tweeted about her leadership role in a legislative initiative, stating, "¡La familia es sagrada! Por eso estoy liderando la Ley de Unión de Familias Estadounidenses (American Families United Act), para proteger y preservar a las familias estadounidenses, incluidas las familias con estatus migratorios mixtos." Her statement emphasizes the sacredness of family and her efforts to support and protect American families, including those with mixed immigration status.
Later the same day, Salazar made a firm statement on national security issues, asserting that those who misuse permission to study in the U.S. by causing disorder would be penalized. She tweeted, "If you receive permission to come to the U.S. to study, and instead choose to spread chaos and undermine our national security, you will be sent back. Simple as that!" The tweet reflects a hardline stance on maintaining national security.
Furthermore, Salazar reiterated the same message in Spanish, indicating her consistent position on the issue. She tweeted, "Si recibes permiso para venir a estudiar a Estados Unidos y, en cambio, decides crear caos y socavar nuestra seguridad nacional, serás deportado. ¡Así de simple!" This dual-language approach reinforces her commitment to the issue among a broader audience.
