Wow, thank you for that! I didn’t know that. I voted for him but it was my first election and wasn’t paying a lot of attention to politics.

Here is an OLD post that will assist the unlearned as to what President Reagan actually did.

From your link:

"The Reagan Amnesty wasn’t for ALL Illegal Aliens, there were many requirements that had to be met for Illegals to be eligible. Among them were certain residency requirements, no felony convictions, less than three misdemeanor convictions, medical examinations, etc. .....

TRANSLATION:

If you were a mere punk ( "less than three misdemeanor convictions" ) and not a rapist or a murderer ( "no felony convictions" ) you were eligible for amnesty.

TRANSLATION OF THE TRANSLATTION:

About 95% of illegals were eligible for the Reagan Amnesty.
