Reagan had wonderful ways of discussing politics. This is him talking about Democrats and how they fear monger. Have you seen this prior to now? Do you agree with Reagan? I agree with him.

I don’t know much about him, but I know you’ve accepted propaganda about him. It’s the way of the uniparty.
He’s got to be far better than the candidates owned by the Zionist billionaires.

Romano L. Mazzoli was a Democratic Representative from Kentucky and Alan K. Simpson was a Republican Senator from Wyoming who chaired their respective immigration subcommittees in Congress. Their effort was assisted by the recommendations of the bipartisan Commission on Immigration Reform, chaired by Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, then President of the University of Notre Dame.
These sanctions would apply only to employers who had more than three employees and did not make a sufficient effort to determine the legal status of their workers.
The first Simpson–Mazzoli Bill was reported out of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. The bill failed to be received by the House, but civil rights advocates were concerned over the potential for abuse and discrimination against Hispanics and growers' groups rallied for additional provisions for foreign labor; the United States Chamber of Commerce persistently opposed sanctions against employers. The second Simpson–Mazzoli Bill eventually reached both chambers in 1985 but fell down on the cost issue in the conference committee. That year was a major turning point for attempts to change. Workplace resistance to workplace fines started to subside, partially owing to the law's "affirmative protection" provision, which expressly freed employers from the duty to verify the validity of workers' records.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a>
Also, agricultural employers shifted their focus from opposition to employer sanctions to a concerted campaign to secure alternative sources of foreign labor. As opposition to employer sanctions waned and growers' lobbying efforts for extensive temporary worker programs intensified, agricultural worker programs began to outrank employer sanctions as the most controversial part of reform.
President Ronald Reagan did not make immigration a major focus of his administration. However, he came to support the package of reforms sponsored by Simpson and Mazzoli and signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act into law in November 1986.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a> Upon signing the act at a ceremony held beside the newly-refurbished Statue of Liberty,[<em><a href="Wikipedia:Citation needed - Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (April 2025)">citation needed</span></a></em>] Reagan said, "The legalization provisions in this act will go far to improve the lives of a class of individuals who now must hide in the shadows, without access to many of the benefits of a free and open society. Very soon many of these men and women will be able to step into the sunlight and, ultimately, if they choose, they may become Americans."<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></a>
Provisions
[edit]The act required employers to attest to their employees' immigration status and made it illegal to hire or recruit unauthorized immigrants knowingly. The act also legalized certain seasonal agricultural undocumented migrants and undocumented migrants who entered the United States before January 1, 1982 and had resided there continuously without the penalty of a fine, back taxes due, and admission of guilt. Candidates were required to prove that they were not guilty of any crime, had been in the country before January 1, 1982, and possessed at least a minimal knowledge about U.S. history and government and the English language.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>5<span>]</span></a>
The law established financial and other penalties for those employing undocumented migrants, under the theory that low prospects for employment would reduce undocumented migration. Regulations promulgated under the Act introduced the I-9 form to ensure that all employees presented documentary proof of their legal eligibility to accept employment in the United States.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>6<span>]</span></a>
By splitting the H-2 visa category created by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, the 1986 law created the H-2A visa and H-2B visa categories, for temporary agricultural and non-agricultural workers, respectively.
Reagan executive action
[edit]The Immigration Reform and Control Act did not address the status of children of undocumented migrants who were eligible for the amnesty program. In 1987, Reagan used his executive authority to legalize the status of minor children of parents granted amnesty under the immigration overhaul,<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a> announcing a blanket deferral of deportation for children under 18 who were living in a two-parent household with both parents legalizing or with a single parent who was legalizing.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a> That action affected an estimated 100,000 families.
Impact
[edit]Amnesty
[edit]The passing of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act allowed for an update in the registry date. Registry in the United States is a stipulation within immigration law that allows undocumented immigrants to apply for permanent resident status if they entered the country before the established registry date and have remained in the country since, along with other specific requirements.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>9<span>]</span></a> This provision was enacted through the Registry Act of 1929, and it has been updated four times since. IRCA changed the registry date from June 30, 1948 to January 1, 1972, allowing for the legalization of nearly 60,000 undocumented immigrants from 1986 to 1989 alone.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>10<span>]</span></a> The registry date has not been updated since 1986, which has resulted in an exponential decrease of immigrants eligible for a path to citizenship through the registry date provision. For instance, from 2015 to 2019, only 305 individuals were granted legal status through the 1972 registry date.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>11<span>]</span></a><a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>12<span>]</span></a> Several political figures and immigration activists advocate for an advance in the current entry deadline, which would allow for the legalization of millions of long-term undocumented immigrants.<a href="Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>13<span>]</span></a>
Federal income taxation
Social Security benefits are taxed based on Federal income taxation12345. The taxation was introduced in 1983 to address the financial stability of the Social Security program3. Single taxpayers with incomes over $25,000 and joint taxpayers with incomes over $32,000 may have to pay federal income tax on a portion of their Social Security benefits1America sold Iran airplanes when the Shah was the president.

40 years later and the democrats have not altered their approach one inch. It is all they have.
You never hear them with any good ideas for the country--- just how bad the guy in the OTHER party is.
It is never about our ideas vs. their ideas, just that Trump will end democracy so vote for us.
By Democrat's reasoning, shooting oneself in the face then must be a good thing as it sure beats jumping off a bridge.
