Certainly their children were taught: amnesty was the best thing that ever happened to you. sons and daughters of mine. and we need to make sure that everyone else can take advantage of this same thing. But amnesty comes with a price. and the price is you sacrifice the rule of law if you grant amnesty. So the 3 million that received amnesty in 1986 became great advocates for more amnesty. And then each generation after that. more people have come into the country. that 3 million. and today the most conservative number of illegal immigrants in the United States is about 12 million. Many of us believe that number exceeds 20 million. Some believe it exceeds 30 million.
