>>>>Didn't Reagan conditioned it on the laws being enforced on businesses that hired (harbors) these illegal aliens?

Of course he did. Don't listen to the revisionists.

And Reagan didn't support open borders either. Reagan said: "A nation without borders is not a nation." Reagan did sign into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. It specified prosecution and punishment for employers who hired illegals. If that law had been enforced, the IRCA of 1986 would have turned out to be what it was meant to be, a one time only amnesty deal. Instead, the Feds lack of enforcement led to a ongoing series of liberal immigration policies under Bush41, Clinton and Bush43, that has led to the 15 million illegals we have living in the US today.

So what does Bush want to do today? Even with the 20/20 hindsight of history, Bush wants to grant amnesty to those 15 million illgals. Giving the Dems more votes to count on.
