Didn’t they try this about 25 years ago? Traded secure borders for amnesty? My memory is, the amnesty happened but the secure borders got lost in the shuffle.

You are correct: Reagan signed the bill and pro-amnesty spokeshole and drunkard Edward M Kennedy said:

"This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this."             - Ted Kennedy, 1986

Oh, yeah, add "liar" to the list of his traits...
