 Immigration Amnesty: Since the first immigration amnesty in 1986, millions of undocumented aliens,
or illegal immigrants, have been granted permanent resident status in the United
States. Critics of immigration amnesty claim that they only entice an even greater number of illegal migrants,
while supporters of an immigration amnesty maintain that an amnesty would
benefit the entire country.
- Immigration Reform:
In 1986, Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act, or IRCA, which
granted approximately 2.8 million undocumented immigrants legal status in the
United States. IRCA allowed millions of illegal or undocumented immigrants to
receive a Green Card, which could eventually lead to U.S. citizenship. Former
President Bush proposed comprehensive immigration reform. However, members of
Congress voted against it. It is speculated that immigration reform will become
a key issue under the new Obama administration.

seek employment in sectors that have difficulty attracting American workers.
