When We "Solved" the Illegal Immigration Problem
Most people do not remember that we "solved" the
illegal immigration problem once and for all in 1986.
The 1986 law was a product of more than five years'
work by Senator Alan K. Simpson, Republican of Wyo-
ming, and Representative Romano L. Mazzoli, Demo-
crat of Kentucky. Both left Congress more than a de-
cade ago.
There were somewhere between 3 million to 5 mil-
lion people in the country illegally at the time. Congress
passed the law, Pub.L. 99-603; 100 Stat. 3359, to solve
the problem, It had two parts. There was the "amnesty"
part. Anyone in the country illegally, continually since
1982 could get a "temporary legal status" (they didn't
like the term "amnesty" then either) by paying a $185
fee and showing "good moral character." They could
get green cards after 18 months if they learned English.
Then there was the enforcement part. The bill pro-
vided for improved surveillance technology andmore
staff for border enforcement. There were also penalties
against businesses that hired people in the country ille-
gally. However, business had to "knowingly" hire the
illegal alien to be liable, creating a huge loophole.
I think it is interesting to see what several Senators
said after the law was passed: Our Senator Charles
Grassley said he regretted voting for the 1986 measure.
"I thought then that taking care of three million people

it is not mandatory. If we were to pass another "com-
prehensive bill" as some are advocating, I fear we will
again get legalization andmaybe citizenship, with little
effort to enforce the penalty provisions. We will then
encourage millions more to come illegally hoping for
another amnesty law in the future. It is indeed frustrat-
ing to hear the same arguments that were used to pass
the 1986 bill supporting a similar bill now. You would
think we would have learned our lesson
