This a type of Reagan conservatism. He passed an amnesty bill in 1986 that was focused on agriculture and around 3 million people applied. It was still a tough road for citizenship, because of the strict sanctions on employers.

Immigration Reform and Control Act passed the House 238-173. The 1st vote in the Senate was 69-30 after the House made changes it passed 63-24 and signed by Reagan on 11/6/86 2 days after the midterm elections.

And it was a fricking disaster. It flipped Cali blue. Dems promised all sorts of $$$ for enforcement and border security and never delivered.

Is it voting rights amnesty or non voting permanent residency? I am not keen on the former but can see benefits to the later.

As I've said, and while we debate the topic, Trump needs to be deporting fifteen or twenty thousand a day to clear the decks before his term is finished. He's not anywhere close to that.

Oh look it’s one of our resident “moderates” who’s really a Marxist Democrat.

And how is it racist to pint out they don’t speak our language?

There’s a few more who were backing her. Like the garden gnome from New York Mike lawler who is the main reason we have salt deductions to $40k now for his wealthy douche bags in NYC

What is your requirement for assimilating? Children of Mexican immigrants that are raised here absolutely assimilate. They speak English, make friends with other Americans, pay taxes and are generally family oriented Catholics. What more do you want? Maybe some of them root for Mexico in the World Cup, who gives a shite.

You're new but I agree with your post. I see them in my church. Sometimes with a lot of kids.

Have any businesses or corporations been charged or fined for breaking Federal hiring laws? Until they are, everything else is just window dressing.

We can come up with some kind of work visa. But they need to take their arse back to Mexico first and be properly vetted.


Only if it allows them to work in the US on a temporary basis- They are not allowed to bring their families, own real estate, and must live in Govt Sactioned Camps and have to reapply for the right to work here every 6 months.

Similar to Qatar and UAE and how they employ Indians and Filipinos

That’s not true

Democrats already had the majority of congressional seats. They had 1 Democrat senator and 1 Republican senator. Popular Republican Senator Pete Wilson left office in 1991 to become governor for 8 years. Wilson could have been president and beat Clinton in 1996 if he had not hurt his vocal cords. He had to have surgery and dropped out of the race.

After Wilson California elected a Democrat for governor in 1999, but he was recalled in favor of Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger. The next Democratic governor elected was in 2010

In 1985 the Republican’s had the majority in the Senate and Bob Dole wrote the Immigration Reform and Control Act bill Reagan wanted. The Democrat lead House made changes, but they made it harder for a path to citizenship through sanctions that were put on employers.

Mexican American Democrat congressman Edward Roybal was one of the biggest critics he fought for changes in the bill and still voted against it.

Majority of the Republican Senators voted for the bill. Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, and Gordon Humphrey voted against it mainly because of border concerns. Biden voted for it

Rush Limbaugh was also a big critic of the bill. One of the few things he did not agree with Reagan on.
