lol

nice revisionist history there!

1. It’s been Democrats from the get go that have pushed for illegal aliens to be made citizens

2. A Democrat, Bill Clinton signed NAFA.

The Republicans haven’t fought as hard as they should have, but make no mistake this mess (like all messes) lies slap dap in the middle of the Democrats laps.

Well, Clinton did sign it but the negotiations started under Bush 1. Here is the vote totals from Wiki:

With much consideration and emotional discussion, the House of Representatives approved NAFTA on November 17, 1993, 234-200. The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the Senate 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats.

It's been both parties all along. Back when Reagan signed the first amnesty, the Attorney General began to enforce the employer ID provisions seriously. A group of Republican congressmen wrote a letter to him complaining that the enforcement was hurting business and threatening to cut the DOJ budget. After that there was never any serious effort enforcing those provisions. Pretending Pubs aren't a part of the problem is the revisionist history.

2. A Democrat, Bill Clinton signed NAFA.

Most of the votes in Congress came from Pubs. Almost all the votes against were Democrats.
