Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida’s 27th congressional district, posted several statements on her X (formerly Twitter) account on October 21, 2025, addressing government funding and immigration reform.
In a post made at 14:54 UTC, Salazar commented on recent government funding efforts: “Over a MONTH ago we did our job in the House and passed a clean CR to keep the government open.
Nearly a dozen times the Democrats had the chance to do their JOB, but time and time again they refused.
The only ones acting like Monarchs are the Democrats, holding paychecks and https://t.co/H30xRTVRIn“.
Later that day at 16:08 UTC, Salazar thanked the American Business Immigration Coalition (AmericanBIC) for hosting her at a discussion about immigration reform. She stated: “Thank you @AmericanBIC for hosting me for an important fireside chat on the Dignity Act and the urgent need to fix America’s immigration system.
Right now, our economy is losing workers and families are living in uncertainty.
But God tells us: Do not be afraid.
The Dignity Act https://t.co/qj0H9qzKWN“.
Shortly after, at 16:12 UTC, Salazar posted a similar message in Spanish, again thanking AmericanBIC for the opportunity to discuss immigration and emphasizing economic and family concerns: “Gracias a @AmericanBIC por invitarme a una importante conversación sobre la Ley Dignidad y la necesidad urgente de reparar el sistema de inmigración de Estados Unidos.
Hoy, nuestra economía está perdiendo trabajadores y muchas familias viven en la incertidumbre.

The Continuing Resolution (CR) referenced by Salazar is a legislative measure used by Congress to fund government agencies temporarily when formal appropriations have not been signed into law. Disagreements between political parties over government funding have led to frequent standoffs in recent years. The Dignity Act is an immigration reform bill introduced by Salazar that aims to provide legal status to undocumented immigrants while enhancing border security measures. The American Business Immigration Coalition is an advocacy group that supports bipartisan immigration solutions focused on economic growth and stability for families.
