Republican Rep. Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania introduced the Securing Agricultural Workforce Act (SAWA) on June 30, which aims to allow illegal aliens working in the agricultural sector to stay in the United States. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, and multiple others criticized the bill, Politico reported Wednesday.

Thompson did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. The White House declined to comment.
“No amnesty!” DeSantis stated in an X post Monday. “Amnesty is NOT what people voted for in 2024!”
