You wrongly blame Reagan for the failure of the 1986 IRCA. While at the same time you allow the Democrats led by Ted Kennedy to get off scot-free.
>>>>>By your definition, the Hagel-Martinez and McCain-Kennedy bills were not blanket amnesties either.
No, those are your words, not mine. I'm simply correcting your inaccurate remarks with the truth and not allowing you to get away with revising the Reagan record with a bunch of BS.
LOL. No I blame Reagan and Kennedy for the passage of a flawed bill even if properly enforced. Why was it necessary to legalize [read amnesty] the estimated 4 million illegals if enforcement would work in the future? Why not just implement an enforcement bill and address the problem that way? The bill actually caused a land rush of illegals to get into the country before and immediately after the amnesty bill went into effect. And now we have 12 to 20 million illegals.
I suggest you read the testimony of Rosemary Jenks, NumbersUSA on the Shortfalls of the 1986 Immigration Reform Legislation

I am providing facts not BS. I admired Reagan. I served as part of his Presidential Advance Team on two visits to Rome, one to Bitburg, one to Helsinki and to Berlin. I shook hands with him four different times and treasure the autographed picture he gave me. He was a great man. But he made a serious mistake in signing the 1986 amnesty bill. We must not repeat that mistake again because it will destroy this country.
I work on the immigration issue 7 days a week and have done so for the past four years. I lobby on the Hill and in Richmond. I don't get paid for it. However, I do know the issue far better than you do. Wake up and smell the coffee. This isn't about Reagan, it is about the survival of this country.
