Granting amnesty is NOT breaking the law. It's not the same as Bush letting millions of invader come here. Even encouraging it.

So, do you think that no illegals came over the border during Reagan's Presidency? What specifically did Reagan do to ensure the laws were enforced while he was President? If he actually did do some 'stuff', why wasn't he able to ensure they were enforced? Do you not think that granting amnesty encourages illegals to come over the border?

You're being disengenuous, giving Reagan a 'pass' on this issue while laying the whole of the problem on Bush's shoulders.

To be fair to Reagan, he agreed to amnesty because he thought he'd be getting border enforcement first. Congress screwed him on that one, said to heck with enforcement and went ahead with the amnesty anyway. Only thing you can blame Reagan for is being naive enough to think Congress wouldn't welsh on their deal.

HuH? You can't read. Granting amnesty is NOT the same thing as encouraging them to come over. Bush has been openly encouraging them since 2000.
