Immigration act of 1986

To me chapter 16 felt quite hard to read. There are a lot of numbers and just plain dry material to digest. 

But I found it helpful to investigate the Immigration act of 1986 that Ronald Regon proposed. I found info to it on wikipedia and one article from CNS.News - In this one American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz argued the reform President Obama is proposing. He calls the grant amnesty for people that are illegal in the United States a "bad sequel" and refers to the Act of 1986. He says those people that tricked the system and became a citizen though a illegal way should be deported or don't deserve to become a legal resident. He states that this would be unfair to the people that went through all the struggle and filling all the paper work. 

Anyhow, the article that I thought would be interesting to post is from the Center of American Progress.

It is very interesting and shows the improvements America has made since 1986. We have more control of our country and that was basically the goal as of 1986 Act as well. But this time America seems to be prepared.
