GOP Rep threatens amnesty for Venezuelan, Salvadoran migrants
Republican Representative Don Bacon posted and then deleted a tweet threatening to extend amnesty to migrants from Venezuela and El Salvador. The post appears to be a reactionary escalation in the ongoing political battle over immigration policy, particularly following the House vote to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitian nationals. Bacon's tweet specifically mentioned Venezuelan and Salvadoran migrants, suggesting a broader amnesty push beyond the Haitian TPS extension. The deletion indicates either a strategic retraction or recognition of the inflammatory nature of the statement amid heightened partisan tensions.
