FYI, the immigration bill was signed by Lyndon Johnson. Ronald Reagan was not President. It was advertised as just being a small reform and not as something profound. Here is Ted Kennedy: ""The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.” https://www.history.com/news/immigration-act-1965-changes https://www.history.com/news/immigration-act-1965-changes
