Honest to God, are you seriously going to compare the amnesty Reagan agreed to when he tightened our immigration laws, to the plan for amnesty today?
If you know anything about the Reagan years, you know that Reagan saw illegal immigration as a problem. He agreed to grant amnesty to one million illegals, if the Dems agreed to sign on to new tough legislation that would tighten up our borders and levy serious fines against U.S. employers who hired them.
Compare one million to eleven million, and 3.5 million that signed on to the plan back then, to between 25 and 35 million that would sign on today.
Those are facts too.
BTW: Any plan for immigration reform I have seen, has as part of the plan to open up the flood gates to just about any Mexican that wants to come North, and this through legal means.
You could expect to see an exponentiation of the financial problems associated with today’s illegal immigration, with absolutely no ability to ever get that under control again.
This is what you are buying into, whether you realize it or not.
It wasn’t 3 million..it was 300,000...seems to me then 2 to 3 million booted today is about equal for the numbers here now. But whatever...are you going to deport 30 million and how? even if you cut off their foodbag do you really think they’re going back south? Especially when there’s a push for states to each handle their own immigration? That will simply move them around.
I am for getting immigration back on the table and moving...right now nothings being done.
