Ron Reagan signed into law the Immigration and Control Act of 1986. 
Regardless of how you got here, if you had been here for 4 years, you got a 
short track (very short track) to citizenship.  There was also a large 
section of the law dealing with employers hiring illegals that was supposed 
to stop the flow.  At 3 million, they stopped counting how many people they 
handed out that get-out-of-jail-free card to.

What was supposed to be in the law and was supposed to go to all the states 
was a section on Anchor Babies.  IF that had been in the law as it was 
supposed to be AND if the employer sanctions had ever beene enforced, then 
we wouldn't have the problems we currently have.

The current attempt is just a rewrite of that same law but without any teeth 
at all!  It is simply a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Oh, and additionally, they didn't have to go through all the hoops regular 
immigrants have to go through (English, test, etc.).
