Did the amnesty in 1986 stop illegal immigration?

Do you think this one will?

Goldstategop, you must be able to recognize that these amnesties do nothing more than encourage tens of millions more Mexican citizens to flood our borders. Is that really what you want? I don't think it is, but that will be the undeniable outcome if we grant a guest worker/amnesty program.

No it didn't. It gave 2.5 million illegals a free pass to US citizenship. If the employer sanction provisions had been enforced, we wouldn't be looking at making the same mistake one more time. Except today, at minimum, there are 12-15 million illegals in the US. In 1986 that was 1% of the population. Today its 5%, or more.
