Obama signed exactly zero immigration bills. The last immigration bill that became law was in 1990. That essentially updated the 1965 immigration act. There’s been other piecemeal legislation here and there, but our current immigration framework is basically half a century old.https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/980958298445885446 …

What I think is interesting is that the '96 immigration law (Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act) signed by Clinton had the term "immigration reform" in it.

One of many piecemeal bills. Clinton signed it into law but would likely have vetoed if it had included the public education amendment.

Would that amendment have conflicted w/ Plyler? I need to look up the history of that bill...

It was an attempt to overturn Plyer at the federal level. It had overwhelming support in the house, were it very easily passed. It was eventually taken out because of Clinton’s threat to veto.
