Thank you. I see this paraded out every so often. It’s not fair to Reagan.
He was told there would be 1 million illegals signing up. 3.5 million did. He was gamed by the Left and his own staff >IMO on the last part there.
I was against the amnesty. I thought it was a mistake. It was.
Reagan was a good man that thought things out logically. He was willing to trade off 1 million, to get the tough new laws. That’s the sort of thing you have to do when there’s a Democrat House and Senate.
It should have ended any problems. It still could if they would just enforce our laws at the border and inland. They don’t.
We even have sanctuary cities now, but that isn’t the worst of it. We are in effect a sanctuary nation. We are not serious about deporting. Illegals inland have a pass. The laws are not being enforced anywhere.

Yep, and that’s what some folks do not understand. If there is, in the future, an amnesty meant for “11 million” (and THAT, IMHO, is a huge underestimate) illegal aliens currently present, we’ll end up giving amnesty to 35 million or more. The reason it went from 1 million estimated to 3.5 million actual last time was because it was easy to phony up “documentation” proving the aliens were in-country before the “amnesty date”. Aliens who pour in AFTER that date will have ready access to phony documentation of their presence earlier. Phony rent receipts (and other documents) were easy to manufacture and next-to-impossible to disprove. The bureaucrats who will come up with the documentation requirements will certainly be very liberal with what constitutes proof.
