[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reagan signed into law the amnesty bill passed by Congress. Reagan signed it because Congress promised to tighten border security and clamp down on illegal hiring practices. Congress reneged and Reagan then said signing the bill was the worse thing he had done as President.[/quote] Reagan signed the amnesty bill in 1986. That bill expressly excluded spouses and children of those eligible for amnesty. But in 1987 Reagan issued an executive order, in spite of the law, that allowed illegal/undocumented family members of those granted or eligible for amnesty to also stay. It was significant because many men had come here illegally to work and then brought their wives and children "later." The wives and children didn't qualify for amnesty, and faced deportation.
