Can you ping me to it.This is all very confusing.
Once I write it, I’m sure JR will side bar it.
Check out what I wrote 5 days a good
Reagan DID NOT ACT ALONE on immigration reform.
It was an initiative properly legislated, beginning with a subcommitte which became known as Simpson/Mazzoli.
It continued through the Constitutional process, with the Bill originating in the House and was passed to the Senate, as called for in the Constitution.
The bill failed but, was brought up again and passed.
President Reagan only signed it after it went through the legislative process.
Reagan DID NOT ACT ALONE.
HE DID NOT INITIATE THE PROCESS.
That said, the bill did not result in some 10 million illegals receiving citizenship, legal resident status or worker permitting.
In fact, 20 years after the bill only 22% of the original illegal aliens obtained some sort of status.
And remember this: That 22% was only reached in the last 12 years.
The majority of Latinos felt they would be in some sort of jeopardy if they even attempted to obtain status and hence, never applied.
of the 22% who did achieve legal status, 70 +% felt they too would be in jeopardy but, with certain assurances, by various gubmint representatives, they rolled the dice as a last resort and received their vaunted legal status
