1: Reagan's economic was not analogous to our current situation. Adding a bunch of new labor at a time when unemployment is dropping and wages are rising, is well and good. Adding a bunch of new labor when unemployment is already high and wages are depressed only exacerbates the situation.
2: Bush also pushed voter ID laws and means-testing for government assistance. Things that I specifically cited as necessary to make amnesty workable in our current political climate (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1892356.html?thread=147409668#t147409668).
Quit being simplistic. :P
