A Modest Proposal

Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), a landmark bipartisan bill that offered amnesty to nearly 3 million undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before 1982, legalizing them as permanent residents. While the law also included employer sanctions to curb future illegal immigration, it's remembered for its significant amnesty component, a trade-off intended to humanely address existing undocumented populations while strengthening border security and workplace enforcement, though its effectiveness in preventing future illegal immigration remains debated. #vincevseveryone #podcast #podcastclips #uspolitics #politicstiktok
