And Ronald Reagan signed that true amnesty.
Just have to throw this fact in on every immigration thread I can:
The 'eleven million illegals in this country' figure that is regularly thrown around by pro-open borders pols and media types is utterly bogus. It originally came from an open borders source.
There's at least that many just in CA and the Southwest alone.
The national figure is in all likelihood well over thirty million.
It is an invasion.
