Clinton Proposal and Reagan

bill: The estimated population of immigrants living in the United States illegally is now roughly 11 million, according to The Chronicle Herald. In 1986, the so-called Reagan amnesty bill legalized the immigration status of about 3 million people. But Clinton proposal would offer a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally and would have far broader impact. There are also some notable differences between the so-called amnesty bill signed by Reagan and Clinton proposal. Enforcement of that provision has never fully materialized. The Reagan bill included a provision that made it illegal for businesses to hire workers who don't have the legal right to work in the United States. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
