We already know it’s a forgone conclusion at this point, this has been the actual republican agenda since McCain, it’s even the exact same damn talking points “back taxes, fines, and a waiting process”, McCain wanted 13 years then, Lawler wants 7 now.
Should have specified, neocons have been planning a second “amnesty” wave for over a decade now. Reagan and Bush Sr were both pro amnesty as well and the Con Inc mouthpieces made every excuse available to say Reagan was “conned by the Dems” despite Reagan openly saying he supported amnesty for illegals in a debate with Mondale years before signing the amnesty bill.
The Dems were supposed to help solve the border security problem in exchange, which of course they never did. If he was conned he wasn't all that upset about it judging by the behavior of himself and his Republican successors.
That’s always the repeated line. It’s not real, you would have to be the biggest idiot on the planet to just hand amnesty to millions and expect the other party to “honor” a supposed agreement that was never in writing.

Goes back further. Reagan signed an amnesty bill.

Was he conned into selecting Bush as his VP? Or signing the NFA? Or the gun bans in CA?
