Rival PACs line up to target GOP cosponsors of immigration bill

Two opposing PACs are mobilizing millions of dollars to influence Republican primaries nationwide over immigration policy. The Homeland PAC, backed by immigration-restrictionist Republicans, launched last week to primary co-sponsors of Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar's (R-Fla.) Dignity Act. Meanwhile, American Business Immigration Coalition Action secured $1.2 million to protect these co-sponsors through its Building America’s Economy PAC, hoping to raise $5 million. This clash turns the legislative debate over the Dignity Act, which would allow millions of unauthorized immigrants to gain work permits, into an electoral proxy war. The White House is recalibrating its immigration message amid plummeting public perception, with new polling showing half of Americans view President Donald Trump's deportation campaign as too aggressive.
