Immigration regarded very totally different earlier than 1996, when President Invoice Clinton signed the Unlawful Immigration Reform and Immigrant Accountability Act (IIRIRA). The legislation was imagined to cease undocumented immigration by growing enforcement and punishing folks for being within the US undocumented. As a substitute, it incentivized folks to remain within the US — and the undocumented inhabitants doubled.

Citizens who are concerned about illegal immigration are in the majority as of now. Yes, there is economic value, but with the last 4 yrs of ungovernable migration, the popular concern only elected a man hellbent on being more Draconian than IIRIRA. This video is 3 YEARS OLD.Again, statistics used that shore up a certain argument. Not reality.
Wow. Went for $5.5B a year to $135B a year. Smh.
Perhaps God sees the role of America to be His leading missionary …. Looking at it this way then immigration is easier to accept and makes some sense
More deportation
“President Bush Sr. stated that the new Immigration Act’s primary purpose was to open the “front door” to legal immigration while providing “needed enforcement authority.”
In total, the Immigration Act of 1990 enabled the admission into the U.S. of “700,000 immigrants in fiscal years 1992 through 1994 and 675,000 a year after that.” This constituted a 45% increase over prior levels of immigration and as of today, there are 8.4 million more Americans in the country than there would have been had the law not been signed.”
You keep saying 'immigration' when you really mean 'illegal immigration'. Do you think no one will notice, or….? What a joke.
The UAE 🇦🇪 is 88% foreigners yet it’s the safest place in the world. The UK 🇬🇧 only has 15% foreigners and look what has happened already.
Ask Google the question “why do you need a passport to enter into America? If the constitution allows illegal immigration or undocumented immigrants to enter our country without a passport”? Google will not answer you!
My bfs dad used to cross the border with his visa and work for a while then drive back to Guatemala. His family was so used to it they never did any efforts to my bf or his brothers be born in the us bc it would not make much of a difference in their lives until this law took place
I love how the solution to crime seems to be to ignore it. And claim enforcement only makes things worse.
Then these same people say we should enforce laws on guns, a 2nd amendment legal and lawful right of citizens.
Wait, but wouldnt the logic of one apply to the other? So why does Vox advocate picking and choosing when their logic makes sense and when it doesn't?
Keep in mind, the one they say to ignore is ILLEGAL, and the one they want to control is LEGAL.
No other country has as porous a border as we do, nor laws in place that are circumvented or ignored.
Other countries enforce their border laws. Including all the countries we aspire to.
Make it make sense?
We need border reform, but it seems one side thinks we just need to pretend it doesnt exist.
Oh my God I got Yamamoto and Motomura confused. Soundgarden Forever!
they should be deported because of that old misdemeanor
how about we let the natural born citizen to vote on whether they want immigration for one particular ethnic group or another
Broken system? No. It's working the way it was truly intended. Locking in a source of cheap labor
If you want to stop illegal immigration, start arresting their employers. They are supposed to establish their right to work upon hiring, so the employers are the scofflaws.
Republicans will never support this, because they call these criminal employers "campaign donors".
This is not accurate…not even close.
"Today most Americans see immigrants as a strength not a burden" oh honey, bless your heart. You weren't ready for 2024
The lady calling immigrants a cancer while wearing a statue of liberty hat is a good one 😅
Boy the NATIVE American must be looking at us going “now YOU KNOW HOW WE FELT WHEN YOU GOT HERE!!!”
This is the only reason why we have to check large scale immigration; because we don’t want anybody doing us like we did the Native American!
Stephen Miller, show me your papers.
Anyone who knows someone working undocumented in unsafe conditions, OSHA can give legal citizenship to reporters and their families. Remember that
Hmmm…I've known people who married someone undocumented after 96 who got to stay without any leaving. All those undocumented said they wanted to become US citizens so maybe that makes a difference?
Its going down now!😂😂😂😂😂
Watch your mouth Vox my president is back
Maybe if the U.S. hadn't destabilized Central America by killing and overthrowing their democratically elected leaders and installing dictators back in the day- to suit their own economic issues- those countries would be in better shape and the people there wouldn't need to seek asylum in the first place.
Vox thinks it’s bad that the 1996 law made it possible to deport illegal, who you know, aren’t supposed to be here.
How bout don’t cross the border and come here legally.
Democrats fault..
It’s called ‘Population Replacement’
People forget that if it weren't for immigration and immigrants that none of us would be here today.
Funny that the issues of the 1990's are the same issues that we're dealing with now.
😂
long live america and joe , kamala 💙
Hey can you please speak up about the real truth behind what us government did for F4 file we are very middle class family and they promised us for 12 years for file but it has been almost 20 years and my brother is out of the age so why gave lucrative immigration laws when you don’t want to work right
Another major failure of our immigration laws is the asylum law. Anyone who shows up at a checkpoint and claims to be an asylum seeker has to be admitted into the US. That's got to be one of the dumbest laws ever created.
It doesnt matter what the law is if no one enforces it. ICE never had funding to enforce any of this
Nothing about how Ronald Reagan was the promoter of the illegal immigration in order to get cheap labor and destroy unions.
Now apply that to Elon Musk
The 911 is done by illegal immigrants as we'll
The title is certainly an eye catcher but after watching this video you completely fail to make any sort of convincing case for why these stricter measures actually increased illegal immigration. as we all know Association does not necessarily equal causation.
Watching post trump won in Nov 2024
It's just like abortion:
'Let's make it impossible to do something legally, then act shocked shocked when people then do it illegally'
And 30 years. Nothing changed 😂😂😂
And again the republicans (who controlled the senate at the time) caused the immigration problem we appear to have now which now they want to fix. When they broke it from the beginning.
You also forgot to mention that this opened a money speget 😂
Meanwhile, in the early 1990s, a young lady named Monica Lewinsky purchased a lovely blue dress after landing a coveted internship at the White House.
‘AMNESTY’ and ‘CHEAP’ LABOR has DESTROYED AMERICA!!! THANKS TO BILL CLINTON!!!
And they should keep doing it…
