I went to a groundbreaking ceremony for a. it was an $81 million expansion of a plant in my district. There was an individual there who was protesting me. and his signs said things such as. I am a former or a current illegal immigrant. and I believe that we ought to give amnesty to these people that are here illegally. and they should have a path to citizenshipdifferent phrases to express what I have just said. And so I find out afterwards that he is not shy about saying he is also a former illegal immigrant who was granted amnesty in the 1986 amnesty that was signed by Ronald Reagan. So here is an individual who jumped the border. came here illegally. living presumably in the shadows. 1986 rolled around. and by the stroke of a pen over at the White House. he and more than 3 million others received amnesty. Now he is out protesting in the streets. declaring that 10 or 12 million or. more appropriately. 60 to 90 million people should have the same path to citizenship that he achieved by the stroke of a Presidential pen 20 years ago.
