From Ann:
"We are told that amnesty for Dreamers will only apply to a small, narrowly defined group of totally innocent, eminently deserving illegal immigrants, who were brought to this country “through no fault of their own” as “children.” (Children who are up to 36 years old.) But to see how DACA will actually work, let’s look at another extremely limited amnesty that was passed in 1986.
Farmers wanted temporary guest-worker permits for their cheap labor. This was supposed to apply to 350,000 illegals available only to those who were currently in the country.
But instead of guest-worker permits, Schumer gave full amnesty to any illegals who had done farm work for at least 90 days in the previous year. In the end, it was 1.3 million and became amnesty for anyone who applied. Of the 888,637 fraudulent applications more than 800,000 were approved. If denied, it would be reviewed by a federal judge in Hawaii, then appealed to the Ninth Circuit.
For two decades after the 1986 amnesty, the federal courts were tied up with dozens of class-action lawsuits brought on behalf of illegal aliens challenging every aspect of the law. Lawyers sued over the requirement that illegals have proof of prior farm work. Left-wing lawyers just had to pick the right judge, and they won.
Twenty years after the 1986 amnesty, the Ninth Circuit was still granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who claimed they had been unfairly denied because they were not in the country for the first amnesty. No matter how the law is written, as long as anyone is eligible for amnesty, everybody’s getting amnesty.
President Trump is the last president who will ever have a chance to make the right decision on immigration. After this, it’s over. The boat will have sailed. If he succeeds, Trump will be the president who saved the American nation. If he fails, Donald Trump will go down in history as the man who killed America."
