Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA) represents an effort by Congress to strengthen and streamline U.S. immigration laws. The Act was designed to improve border control by imposing criminal penalties for racketeering, alien smuggling and the use or creation of fraudulent immigration-related documents and increasing interior enforcement by agencies charged with monitoring visa applications and visa abusers.

Employment eligibility verification guidelines are also incorporated into the Act, including sanctions for employers who fail to comply with the regulations and restrictions on unfair immigration-related employment practices, as well as provisions governing the dispersment of governement aid to aliens.

Thanks for the good information. Maybe it will help readers to ignore the trolls and give President Trump the majority in Congress that he needs to get as far as he can with fixing it.

It only took a day, each, to sack Rome several times. It will take longer, though, to fix the immigration system against the wishes of so many evil constituents and their politicians who push for global slavery.

Vote in the midterm elections this year. Give President Trump the best Congress that we can give him.

Raul Grijalva? Say no more. He’s a Bernie Bro who wants open borders.

You have to go back to Teddy Fat Boy Kennedy in 1965 to get to the root of the problem. And to the Democrat congresses that were elected with LBJ in ‘64.

“President Reagan passed an amnesty law...”

Uh, presidents don’t pass laws. Congress does. Presidents sign, or not.

“You have to go back to Teddy Fat Boy Kennedy in 1965 to get to the root of the problem. “

The groups that paid Kennedy are the root of the problem.

Talk about a reversal of logic.

The 1996 law did not create the problem.

It was an attempt to fix the problem created by the 1965 law and the Amnesty.

Exactly. The Democrats have had opportunities since 1994 to change that law.

The article is wrong on the true cause of the “spike in deportations”.

The primary and essential cause was the spike in the numbers of illegal immigrants.

Unfortunately, the authors of the article are doing nothing less than suggesting that the spike of illegal immigration would have been and should have been tolerated more, by the law, were it not for the 1996 changes in the law.

For them there is only one issue - there are too many deporations, not too many illegal immigrants.
