History

Historical Context

The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), signed by President Ronald Reagan on November 6, 1986, aimed to address illegal immigration by legalizing approximately 2.7 million undocumented immigrants who entered before January 1, 1982. Despite these efforts, the undocumented population surged to 11.1 million by 2013, highlighting ongoing challenges in U.S. immigration policy and enforcement practices that continue to provoke community concerns today.
