If the amnesty bill had been enforced, we wouldn’t have this illegal problem.

Most of the current advocates of "immigration reform" promise us that amnesty will just be a one-time deal, that once the current crop are forgiven, the border will be secure and there will be no future amnesties. That's what was promised in 1986, and that isn't how things worked out then. The situation is far worse now because of the sheer volume of illegals.

Reagan said the amnesty was the worst mistake he made as POTUS

If he indeed said this, I'm pleased to hear it. One of Reagan's strengths was a willingness to admit that he made mistakes, as opposed to sticking to the wrong side of an issue out of stubbornness and vanity.

Completely true. He said it. Severely hurt his personal relationship with Tip and a lot of the Dems IIRC.

He said it numerous times.
