“The illegal alien problem was no where near as bad under Reagan”

It was a drop in the bucket. Reagan had no way of knowing that all of the constraints in the bill would be ignored.

Everyone knows this or should. It's a sham to even bring up this 22 year old decision.

Those that repeatedly bring this into the current political debate do so in an attempt to defend or justify those that continue to pander to this ever escalating problem.

Guess who worked for Reagan from 1981 to 1983 (as Associate Attorney General overseeing Immigration) and was instrumental in promoting his amnesty plan (only to later defy its enforcement through sanctuary city policies)? You got it—none other than... Rudy!
