MEDIA: Alan Simpson, IRCA Amnesty Architect, Dies

InstituteForSoundPublicPolicy.ORG's Joe Guzzardi on whether Donald
Trump has ordered Susie Wiles to share with Peter Thiel's VP JD
Vance the MAGA marketing research gathered by Wiles (and Bill Stepien
before her (and Brad Parscale before him)) and whether legacy American
proles who might be convinced to vote for the GOP.COM candidate in
2028 are happy that America has imported more Mohammedans in the 24
years after 9/11 than the 24 years before:

| Simpson's most famous tongue-in-cheek joke was, "We have two
| political parties in this country, the Stupid Party and the Evil
| Party. I belong to the Stupid Party." He may have unwittingly been
| referring to his IRCA role which failed at its major objective to
| end illegal immigration. Unlawful entry continued, but interior
| enforcement that most IRCA advocates promised never materialized.
| Reviewing some of IRCA's principal players and tracking their pre-
| IRCA final vote comments is insightful. "It is time to stop
| deploring the status quo," said Chuck Schumer, then in the House of
| Representatives. He described the bill as "a gamble" and added, "So,
| if it doesn't work, we'll have to go back to the drawing board."
| Simpson and Mazzoli both also worried about the bill's ultimate
| effectiveness if it passed. Yet, they forged ahead, only to see
| their worries realized. Within a few years, illegal immigration
| soared from about three million in 1986 to 12 million. Those fearful
| about fraud saw plenty of it, most of it concentrated in the Special
| Agricultural Worker program (SAW) amnesty that provided temporary
| and later permanent legal status for aliens. The aliens were
| required to have performed seasonal agricultural work in the U.S.
| for at least 90 days during the 12 months ending on May 1, 1986. The
| U.S. Department of Labor later found that the SAW program, which
| Schumer championed, gave amnesty to 1.1 million illegal aliens out
| of 1.3 million applicants as of August 12, 1992.

Recall Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Janice Kephart on
whether Chuck Schumer is happy with American demographics and the
American culture he helped create:

| Mohammed Salameh attempted to use SAW to acquire residency. Although
| he failed to acquire LPR status as he sought, filing under the law
| enabled him to stay legally in the United States. 9/11 and Terrorist

"So, what's the back story? Well, during Trump's first impeachment,
the left pulled off a carefully choreographed hoax using a so-called
"whistleblower," who was actually a CIA agent named Eric Ciaramella.
This guy, along with Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Adam Schiff,
cooked up a phony story to paint Trump as some sort of international
bully. The media played dumb; politicians pretended not to know who
the whistleblower was--even though everyone on the inside 100
percent knew." - Sundance <URL:https://revolver.news/2025/03/the-
