The Amnesty Gamble; Immigration Law’s Impact Still Tough To Measure

IT was called a corpse that would not die, the immigration legislation that finally became law in 1986 after a year-to-year Congressional marathon. IT was called a corpse that would not die, the immigration legislation that finally became law in 1986 after a year-to-year Congressional marathon. Sixteen months later, as the nation enters the final two months of the largest amnesty program for illegal aliens in history, it is clear that the marathon has only begun. Born in tortuous compromise, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 remains a patchwork and its long-term effects remain an utter mystery.

Bush to Propose Immigration Law Changes

Millions of illegal migrant farmers, hotel maids and others working in the shadows of American society would be freed from the threat of deportation for at least three years and could get a chance — although probably remote for most — at permanent legal U.S. status under an election-year proposal President Bush (search) is asking Congress to approve.

Immigration Law Loosens a Safety Net

To the Editor: Representative Lamar Smith's Nov. 14 letter supplies welcome assurance that Congress did not intend the new immigration law to foreclose judicial review in all asylum cases. But the new law does insulate from judicial review many asylum denials and other important decisions of administrative officials. Our immigration laws go on for pages listing the acts that render even long-term legal immigrants deportable.
