If President Obama really wanted to have the DREAMERS become legal residents, he could have done so using this Law signed by Ronald Reagan as precedence....... most people forget or choose to forget that Ronald Reagan gave what amounts to Blanket Amnesty with conditions to millions of illegals. To this day, I still feel he did the right thing.

I remember it. Unfortunately the Republican Party of Reagan isn't the Republcan party that supported Trump. A whole different animal.

Know what you mean.
On Immigration: Everyone suffers from the presence of illegal immigrants
Truman struggled with the problem of migrant farm workers--both legal and illegal. In 1950, he set up a Presidential Commission on Migratory Labor and asked it to look into "the extent of illegal migration of foreign workers into the US." The commission recommended relying primarily on domestic farm workers, not immigrants, to perform farm labor. In 1951, Truman approved legislation for legal migrants to harvest US crops, but also expressed a desire to reduce illegal immigration from Mexico and said additional measures were needed. "These people are coming to our country in phenomenal numbers--and at an increasing rate," Truman said. "Everyone suffers from the presence of these illegal immigrants in the community."
But the legislation Truman signed had to do with keeping legal guest workers flowing across the border to harvest US crops. He said the bill he signed didn't go far enough. He wanted stricter sanctions against employers who harbor illegal aliens, but Congress refused.
