So if amnesty didn't work the first go around why would it work now?

I'm pretty ignorant about the details of Reagan's amnesty but wasn't the agreement to allow amnesty in exchange for strengthening the border with the latter never occurring?
Someone give me a good reason for it to work now when it didn't work then

It won't
Politicians on both sides know it won't
It's not supposed to work
For democrats its supposed to provide more votes and expand the permanent underclass needed for their policies to gain traction
For Republicans its about cheap labor and a payoff to their Chamber of Crony Capitalism overlords.

Doesn't matter.
The free market decides how many people cross. Its simple math.

It's not supposed to work. It's a Dem voter registration drive.

What are you talking about? It worked great for Democrats.

We have two problems: How to stop new illegal immigrants from coming in, and what to do with the ones we are here.
The end result of Reagan's work was it fixed the second problem, but not the first, at least not for the long term.
Any immigration solution must deal with both of those problems. If it only deals with one... it won't work.

I am absolutely, positively in favor of amnesty and a work visa.
As long as the illegal immigrant declares their status, returns to their home country, and applies for amnesty from that location. Upon granting of amnesty they will be awarded a work visa upon the stipulation that they have no vote, pay local and federal taxes on their income. Once they are granted their work visa they can be here for ten years and then apply for citizenship.
Open borders? No.
Blanket amnesty? No.
