We won't get fooled again

APIn 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the bill which was co-sponsored by Congressman Romano Mazola (D-KY), and Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) granted amnesty to about 3 million illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico.

Though the American people were told that the Simpson-Mazzoli bill would correct our “broken immigration systemâ€

In 1986 Ronald Reagan opened the flood gates to create the massive problems we have today. The GOP can put Reagan on a pedestal all they want but he and his administration is responsible for starting this mess.

The only solution here is deportation. We must enforce current immigration laws. Let potiental illegal aliens know that they will not be accepted. Enforcing immigration laws will prevent more illegal aliens in this country. We have to start doing it. I do not support amnesty for illegal aliens because that will be an sign that every 10 years we have to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. We do not have to have illegal aliens in this country. And the way to prevent that is enforcing our immigration laws. And employers must aks for legal documents. Employers hiring individuals with legal documents and the US govenment and states enforcing immigration laws will solve the illegal aliens situation.

When Obama and Gutierrez talk reform there is a sudden surge of illegal aliens. We already have 30-50 million people who have no right to be here. Enforce the law and get them out.

Reagan also admitted later that he made a big mistake signing that bill.

I too can't not understand why these illegals are not deported. During the depression the government sent people to their home countries. It's the corporate america, the aclu, and special interest groups that have their own agenda to have us become a third world country! Everyone would work for low wages and have no benefits. The democratic party use to be the party of the working man but no more! If amnesty ever passes with the idiots in Washington, the special interest groups will take over our country, elect their own and we will then have no voice at all. We need to all see that this never happens! We in Washington state are trying to get a state E-Verify on the November ballot! It's a hard fight going against money and power but we did it once in 1776 and we can do it again with the help of all our votes!
