Whatever you want to call what Reagan did...it set the precedent here...but more importantly in Mexico, and elsewhere.

Don't you think that the Mexican government...and the terrorists didn't take notice??

I think President Bush is taking the blame for not fixing something that has been festering for a very long time.

Included in that bill was supposed to be a provision to punish employers who hired illegals. We all know how well that hasn't been enforced. The numbers in the 80's was much lower than the numbers we're talking about now.

In all fairness, the numbers coming here increase substantially after the summer of 2001 when Vincente Fox came to the USA for a visit and there was a joint statement between the two Presidents that gave hope for Amnesty and started a virtual stampeed for the border in order to be here when it happened.

While we all argue the subject on this side of the border, one thing that is virtually ignored is what this is doing to families who remain on the other side of the border.
