If the Feds just enforced the immigration laws on the books, such as the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, illegal immigration would be stopped dead in its tracks. That was the bill Reagan signed into law and the one Ted Kennedy gutted the funding of its enforcement provisions.

There was an FR poll question at some point that asked FReepers if they'd support House version of immigration reform, HR4437 -— Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 -— or the Senate version, S.2130, better known as McCain-Kennedy or "McKennedy". According to my FR archive, FReepers supported the House version with 83% approval.

Many of the same folks making the claims that everyone wants “Reform” were on another thread the other day

It seems that some follow Stalin’s teaching of “A lie told often enough becomes truth.”
