Illegal Immigration

While serving in Congress, Jim Slattery voted to give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, the "largest legalization of illegal immigrants in history." 1, 2, 3

"The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act legalized the largest number of undocumented immigrants of any U.S. amnesty program. Since then, people have continued to enter the United States illegally. Most come from Mexico." 4
