Rep. Gabe Evans on the Dignity Act, immigration and the federal budget · Colorado Matters

Radio interview · Colorado Public Radio (Colorado Matters) Excerpts from GOTV Intel's transcription: [05:40] “We know that at the end of the day, people in America want their representatives to actually engage in conversation and actually work for the people in their district. And that's what this Dignity Act does. Um, it's a bipartisan bill that, you know, everything that we just talked about, you have criminal backgrounds, you're causing problems in the community, guess what, there's not a place here in the United States. If you're going to come here and you're going to cause problems, you're going to drive drunk, you're going to do other bad things. Um, but as you said, there's a lot of folks in the United States and I and I want to be very precise here because uh there's actually a lot of folks who legally entered the United States, came here on a work visa, came here on some other sort of legal authorization, and then during the previous administration uh when when Biden threw the borders open and broke our immigration system even more, a lot of these folks who, again, legally did the work to come to the United States on a work visa or some other sort of authorization couldn't get their visa renewed. They were getting cut in line by all the folks uh swarming across the border. And so what this Dignity Act, well, and and and then those folks of course had to make the decision do I keep working even though my visa says it expired or maybe I took a promotion outside the scope of my visa and wasn't able to get it updated. And by the way, these are specific examples that I've heard in CD8 uh as I've talked to folks. Um, talk to employers, talk to farmers, talk to ag producers, talk to hospitality folks, talk to construction workers, talk to the people that are trying to build homes so that we can get our housing crisis under control. Um, these are all specific things that they've told me. And so that's where this Dignity Act comes in. It's not amnesty, there's no path to citizenship, there's nothing free being handed out in this bill. The process is if you've been in the country before the Biden administration, no criminal background, you're not taking any federal welfare, um, which pretty means the only other way that you've been in the country that long to sustain yourself means that you're actually working a job, then you can apply to enter the dignity program. Uh, requirements to enter the dignity program are you gotta pay back all your back taxes. There's again, nothing free in here. Uh, you have to pay a $7,000 fee to enter the program. This program doesn't cost taxpayers a penny. It's all paid for by the fees of the folks that are entering the program. You have to stick with the program for seven years and continue to not commit crimes, cause problems, uh take any sort of federal welfare. What do you get in exchange for all of this? Well, you get the ability to work in the United States. Not citizenship, not amnesty, you literally just get the ability to keep doing what you've presumably been doing for the last five years, which is continue to work. At the end of the seven years, then once again, you don't get citizenship, you get a green card. So it's not amnesty, this is a work visa reform program that's very, very specifically tailored so that only those people who have been here for a long time, who have been trying to do it right, who have been trying to work hard, not causing problems, not taking any sort of uh handouts, it gives them a path, and it closes all the other doors for people to exploit the system. For instance, this bill also includes a mandate uh that every employer in the United States will use E-Verify. E-Verify is the federal program to determine whether somebody is even eligible to work in the United States. And so it really does set rules of the road. You're either in the dignity program, or you're getting deported. Um, you either are complying with with being able to work hard uh, and and contribute positively to the United States. And if you can't, then you get deported. And by the way, you can't sneak uh money or employment under the table anymore because now every employer is mandated to use E-Verify uh to determine if somebody is legally eligible to work in the United States. That's what the bill does.” [14:23] “So, I think just because a thing ought to be done, doesn't necessarily mean that government is always the best entity to do that thing. We know that pretty much everything that government touches uh runs mediocre at best, and then there's always going to be fraud, waste, and abuse in that system. So again, just because a thing ought to be done, doesn't mean that the government is the best or the most efficient vehicle to do those things. And so I think you'll see, again, as you mentioned, you know, I'm a I'm a religious person, um, and and I think that what you'll see is that there will be a lot of either nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, look how much money Bill Gates just gave away toward some of his nonprofits and his uh charitable um oriented constellation of institutions. I think you'll see a lot of money flow into these things through those mechanisms. Um, and to me, as a small government conservative, I think that's the appropriate way to handle this. You're not using the coercive power of government to tax people of their money, take their money out of their pocket, and then go give it to something that they have very little to say in. If people want to support those charitable things, again, there's many different institutions out there that do it. I make sure that I uh give to to my local church so that they can engage in that charitable activity, and I think that charitable activity is important to do. I just don't think that it always has to be the government using taxpayer funded money in order to accomplish that. Quite often less efficiently um than actual charities and nonprofits would do it.” [17:15] “Yeah, so I sat down and had this exact same conversation with the Weld County Food Bank. And you know what they told me? They said, Gabe, we need to cut down on and and the line he was referring to was the line of folks um that were coming to the food bank. He said, we need to cut down on the line. And the way you cut down on the line of folks that are relying on the food bank is you fix the economy. When you put more money back into people's pockets and they have the they have the the wherewithal to be able to provide for themselves, we're able to reward work by taxing less of their money, giving them that ability to provide for themselves. That rising tide lifts all boats and we talk through the numbers with the Weld Food Bank. Um, just a few short years ago when the economy was doing better, uh the Weld Food Bank was only serving about a third as many people as they currently are right now. And so that's what the Big Beautiful bill does. The Big Beautiful bill on average puts $2,000, a little bit more than $2,000 directly back into the pockets of working families in Colorado. This is through things like no tax on tips, no tax on overtimes, a wide variety of other tax breaks. We're giving tax cuts to small businesses so that they can reinvest that back into their employees or their business. We're giving tax breaks to families with kids, increasing the size of the um the child tax deduction. There's so many different tax breaks in this bill that in addition to the, you know, a little bit more than $2,000 on average that working families and when I say working families, I'm talking the bottom 85%, you know, there's a lot of fearmongering going around about this bill that says it's tax breaks for billionaires. False. The tax breaks are aimed at the bottom 85% of wage earners in my district results in about $2,000 on average directly back into the pockets of working-class families and then when you factor in all of the other um positive things for the economy, it's estimated to result in somewhere between five and 10,000 dollars per year of additional purchasing power uh for average everyday Americans through things like we talked about, helping small businesses, being able to reinvest back into their employees, fixing the economy, things of that nature. That's what is going to help the Weld Food Bank get back to just those pre-covid numbers. Again, they've seen a three times, three times as many people are using the food bank now as we're using it pre-Covid. We want to get back to the pre-Covid numbers, they want to get back to the pre-Covid numbers when I had the conversation with them and the way we do that is by fixing the economy because that rising tide lifts all boats.” [26:11] “Yeah, so there's again a lot of fearmongering that's gone on in this space uh talking about so-called cuts to Medicaid. Medicaid is not being cut. Medicaid spending again is going to go up by about 20 to 25% under the Republican bill. There's going to be more money in Medicaid every single year under the Republican bill. It's just we're going to be good stewards of that taxpayer money and that money is not going to be going to support young men who refuse to work, it's not going to be going to support people who are straight up ineligible for the program, but Biden error rules didn't allow us to remove them from Medicaid, and it's not going to go to people illegally present in the country. And by the way, that's a concept that's in the dignity act. If you're taking federal welfare, you're not eligible for the Dignity Act. And so we see a lot of different um uh driving forces if you will that are all coming together uh around a single point which is we're not cutting safety net, more spending is going into that, we're not cutting federal spending, it's just going to be used efficiently uh and effectively and all of the fraud waste and abuse that we cut out of the programs are going back into taxpayers pockets so that they have more money to be able to spend as they see fit and not the government.”
