Reagan:

'Reagan's Immigration and Naturalization Service commissioner announced that minor children of parents granted amnesty by the law would get protection from deportation. '

Did not enforce the law.

Bush I:

'acting through the Immigration and Naturalization Service, established a "family fairness" in which family members living with a legalizing immigrant and who were in the U.S. before passage of the 1986 law were granted protection from deportation and authorized to seek employment. The administration estimated up to 1.5 million people would be covered by the policy.'

Did not enforce the law.

I appreciate the nice try to convey that Reagan simply didn’t enforce the law, but I don’t know anyone who expects a one year old child to be deported when their mother was just naturalized.

Under the example concerning Bush we’re talking about brothers, sisters, husbands, and other family members. That is not the same type of thing at all. Border and inland enforcement continued under Reagan. Inland enforcement did not continue under Bush I at all.

There are some major differences, and common sense involved here.
