Reagan's amnesty was a citizenship amnesty. Bush's is not.

Sure. Got yourself convinced of that.

What's stated above is true. You seem not to want to admit to it.

Okay. It doesn't matter because nothing is going to be done about the immigration issue in the next three years. Nothing serious anyway. At least Reagan made a serious effort to control illegal immigration long term. The IRCA of 1986 did offer temporary to permanent resident status for illegals.

Millions of illegals were given citizenship amnesty by Reagan. They didn't have to wait on the quota line to get their green cards. What part of that don't you understand?

But its not Reagan's fault there are 10-15 million illegals in America today. That fault lies with Bush41, Clinton and Bush43. Today, PresBush supports open borders and the cheap labor it brings to his bigwig GOP donor pals. Yeah boy. LOL Pandering to the Hispanic voters is another reason Bush isn't serious about solving the immigration issue.

There were no troops on the border during Reagan's 8 years. There are no troops on the border now. Almost anybody could cross the border then -- almost anybody can cross now. You seem to be denial.

Perhaps if you didn't have your screen name you could be more objective.

I agreed with you about the IRCA of 1986 being amnesty for illegals. But the Bush proposal is nothing but backdoor amnesty under the guise of a guest worker program. You don't believe that. You've got yourself convinced it doesn't amount to amnesty leading down the road to US citizenship. I believe that's exactly what it amounts to. But like I said, its a moot point.

>>>>Millions of illegals were given citizenship amnesty by Reagan. They didn't have to wait on the quota line to get their green cards. What part of that don't you understand?

That's why many of us who oppose illegal immigration, call the Bush proposal, backdoor amnesty. First you get your foot in the door, then down the road, you get achance at US citizenship.

I agree, so what. One more time. Its not Reagan's fault there are 10-15 million illegals in America today. That fault lies with Bush41, Clinton and Bush43. Today, PresBush supports open borders for two reasons. First, Bush wants a continued flow of cheap labor into the US, keeping his bigwig GOP donor pals happy. Second. For five years Bush has been pandering to the Hispanic community, in an attempt to secure more votes for GOP candidates. Those are the facts. You can ignore the facts all you want.
