I voted for Reagan, I voted for Bush-1, I even voted for Bush-2 the first time. But the last 3 presidential campaigns have not really given me much choice.

Honestly, Reagan basically proved amnesty was a big mistake. I supported what he was doing at the time, hoping it would humanely solve the problem created by exploitative employers rather than make another 10 million poor, unskilled workers come here and work cheap, distort the labor market against native born and bring their families to collect government benefits in excess of their meager tax contributions.
Of course, some of the immigrants have brought pretty, little, skinny Latina daughters (age 18 plus), so it isn't a total loss...
