On the 3rd<\/sup> Day of Amnesty, FAIR reminded me\u2026<\/p>\n

Nearly 3 million illegal aliens were given amnesty in 1986.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"12<\/a><\/p>\n

When President Ronald Reagan signed the 1986 amnesty bill, it was estimated that 1.5 million illegal aliens would benefit. However, a total of 2.7 million<\/a> illegal aliens emerged to claim legal status. And the domestic policy director<\/a> in charge of President Obama\u2019s current amnesty agenda believes the 1986 law did not go far enough.<\/p>\n

Despite promises of increased enforcement after the 1986 amnesty, the U.S. is now host to at least 11.7 million<\/a> illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

Another amnesty like the one included in the Senate bill<\/a> and promoted by President Obama, would only send the message that our country\u2019s immigration policy is amnesty. Get here any way you can, keep your head down, and eventually you\u2019ll be given the same rights and privileges as U.S. citizens and those who entered legally.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not repeat the same mistakes<\/a> of the past. Tell Congress we\u2019ve heard all the arguments in favor of \u201cone final amnesty<\/a>\u201d before \u2013 and we won\u2019t fall for it again.
