You're looking at basically one issue, which was supposed to be that amnesty would take place and migration would stop after that.
Yup. The only positive of the Reagan amnesty is that it provides an excellent counterargument against the "people" still pushing amnesty. No, we tried that, and the government shit the bed. Waves of amnesty just further incentivize illegal migration. All illegals must go. We had one shot, for better or worse, at amnesty. And we already did that, so we can't do it again.
Right. Amnesty was a lie to move the goal post and convince people to stop the deportations while "only bringing in the ones we need". Same lie, different decade.
