Where did Reagan say it was a huge mistake? I want a quote.
That’s a pretty big statement to make to say he regreted it. He campaigned on it and it was a major policy of his in the 84 election. I was far too young then but that’s what my research suggests.
For Reagan to campaign on and sign amnesty and then regret it is a big leap to make and if you’re making that assertion I need better evidence than an assertion from a conservative writer who might have an agenda.

I do not recall Reagan campaigning on Amnesty? I am pretty sure he did not. Border enforcement maybe, amnesty no.
