I love the Gipper, but the reality is, we have this 'flood' in part because of Reagan's amnesty for illegals.

I agree but I believe Reagan was under the impression that the employer's of illegals would be prosecuted after signing the bill. I can't imagine Reagan being fooled a second time. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Bush on the other hand has no excuse.

Bush on the other hand has no excuse.

Why not? If Reagan expected his plan to work (when previous ones didn't) why shouldn't Bush be allowed to think the same thing?
