Reagan did it to tie up the loose ends of a newly created by congress law. He didn't change a lawReagan used an Executive action with INS, to give illegal children of the immigrants given amnesty in the 1986 Immigration Act, delayed deportation protection.When former President Reagan acted along such lines, he did so on the BASIS of an ACT of CONGRESS.
Can you show us what act of congress granted 400,000 Nicaraguans work visas and indefinitely deferred their deportation?
Remember, Reagan acted after Congress tried and failed to address the issue.
Show us the Reagan EO or order or his minion's actions and orders. Date and link it/them.
I will be pleased to then show you how and why your claims are false.
"Reagan also used an executive action to ease immigration standards for 200,000 Nicaraguans who feared persecution from the communist Sandinista regime. President Bush used similar powers to grant deportation relief to hundreds of Kuwaiti nationals who had been evacuated to the United States during the first Gulf War.
But both of these executive actions were perfectly in line with the true scope of a president's prosecutorial discretion powers. They were limited in nature, applied to specific smaller groups of immigrants, and were not designed to thwart congressional intent on immigration policy." -- Everything You Need To Know About Obama s Executive Amnesty
That post is worth reading since it QUOTES Presidunce Obumbler ACKNOWLEDGING that what he has proposed doing is illegal. He knew it before, but musta forgotten what he once acknowledged because he is a compulsive liar or a fucking moron -- or both.
And in Feb 1990 GHW Bush gave an executive action for INS to delay deportation and give authorization to work, the illegal immigrant spouses of those given amnesty in 1986, who did not qualify for amnesty in 1986.
so what's the difference between these actions of Reagan and Bush 1 and what Obama did?
