add to cart   close window

When Senator Alan Simpson introduced his immigration reform bill on March 17, 1982, he called it a solution to one of the greatest threats to the future of this country. Four years and several revisions later, Simpson's bill became law, the immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. In the past year more than 1.8 million applied for amnesty through the law's legalization program, which ended in May and which had granted temporary resident status to undocumented immigrants who could prove continuous residency in the U.S. since 1981.
