Amnesty for illegal Aliens in US 1986?
A failed program that President Ronald Reagan signed into law that gave amnesty (or made legal) approximately 3 million illegal aliens. Reagan signed the bill with the hope that the borders would be controlled and that no amnesty would ever be granted again. Unfortunately, the borders were not secured, and currently over 10 million foreign nationals illegally reside and most of them illegally work in the U.S. today. And, once again, politicians, especially Democrats and corporate Republicans are suggesting that another amnesty is needed for those illegal aliens that are otherwise law-abiding residents in the U.S. Those who oppose amnesty simply ask - what is the purpose of immigration laws, passports, visas, ports of entry, customs, borders, Rule of Law, etc..... If millions of people entering the US have been and are going to continue to violate these controls?
Did Ronald Reagan give amnesty to the Mexicans?
It wasn't only Mexicans, but people from all over the world. Reagan felt that if people had lived in this country, had families, worked, stayed out of jail, etc. then they were living the American dream. Our nation was founded by immigrants. Only Native Americans can claim to be 100% Americans.
