Congress continues to pass laws that do not get enforced and then does nothing to ensure they are enforced. Part of the purpose of the last amnesty was to enhance our enforcement so Americans could maintain sovereignty. as President Reagan put it. Specifically. on November 6. when President Reagan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. he stated this legislation would help meet the challenge to our sovereignty caused by illegal immigration. He highlighted three provisions of the 1986 bill. including employer sanctionsnonexistentto increase enforcement of our immigration laws. and legalization of those here illegally more than 4 years later. The amnesty happened. yet significant portions of employment sanctions and the increased enforcement measures have been delayed or. in some instances. never implemented. Americans have a right to question whether things will be different this time.
