Democrats promised President Reagan that in return for amnesty for 2.7 million people, they would agree to pass a law barring employment of future illegal immigrants and ending illegal immigration as we know it. Indeed, the entire purpose of the infamous 1986 amnesty bill, the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), was “to combat the employment of illegal aliens.” The law specifically makes it “illegal for employers to knowingly hire, recruit, refer, or continue to employ unauthorized workers.”
Sadly, as always, those laws were never enforced, even as the amnesty was swiftly implemented. Now we have countless millions of new illegal aliens, including at least two million with criminal records. Yet now that the Trump administration is finally enforcing just a few of those laws, including the one at the center of the 1986 amnesty deal, the Left is crying bloody murder, shopping around pictures of crying children and breathlessly deriding a humanitarian crisis of children without care. The AP, blurring the difference between those who were legally admitted into the country and those who broke in illegally, dramatically reports, “Immigrants lock doors, rally around children of detained.”
In reality, leftists are the ones responsible for creating this mess to begin with. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. They got their amnesty and didn’t uphold their side of the bargain, so now we have endless new waves of illegal immigration. Now they have the nerve to demand amnesty for endless waves of new aliens resulting from their previous sabotage of their part of the deal and are using children as human shields for it. Promises of enforcement in return for amnesty have now become demands for no enforcement ever.
In comes the Trump administration. While keeping in place many policies of not enforcing laws, the administration has at least begin enforcing other laws. One of them is the law against employing illegal aliens, which was the center of the 1986 amnesty. To that end, the DOJ and DHS announced last week the apprehension of nearly 680 illegal alien workers targeting five companies in Mississippi. Yet thanks to one-sided media outrage revolving around children, officials have released nearly 300 of them on “humanitarian grounds.” ICE is officially monitoring them with ankle bracelets, but illegal aliens are the consummate flight risk. No other American criminals with a similar risk of absconding would be released in this situation.Read the rest of the story HERE.
