Didn't work the, won't work now. By the Senate, cynically, pretends otherwise.
Exactly this is a quote from Meese
"The fair and sound policy is to give those who are here illegally the opportunity to correct their status by returning to their country of origin and getting in line with everyone else. This, along with serious enforcement and control of the illegal inflow at the border — a combination of incentives and disincentives — will significantly reduce over time our population of illegal immigrants."
When you read this coming from a republican attorney general, who not only served under Reagan but fought this same battle 20 years ago, why would this administration choose to ignore this advice? The only reason I can come up with is they know this scam won't work and they don't want it to. They want Mexican slave labor.
