True, his 1986 legislation did include a ONE TIME offer of amnesty. But it also beefed up border security and contained penalties for businesses that hired illegals.

The problem is - there were seven more amnesties afterwards and although there were penalties, they remained/remain largely unenforced. So while I see your point about Pres. Reagan, that did keep the ball rolling for extended open borders.

He has a point. Blaming Clinton, and Bush 1, and Reagan for not tightening up the borders is correct, but W is the President at this time, has been for 5 years, 4 years since 9/11, and he has refused to take action.

Yeah. None of the dimwits who followed him could understand the meaning of "ONE TIME".
