The Happy Hermit 
Thank you for this insightful article on the immigration policies during the Bush and Reagan administrations. I found your analysis of how these leaders approached the issue to be quite enlightening, especially the balance they sought between enforcement and compassion. Additionally, it’s worth noting that these administrations paved the way for many legal battles that have shaped current immigration law. For instance, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) stance can be traced back to the earlier discussions on immigration reform, and the historical context you provided helps us understand the evolution of these policies. Moreover, the role of executive orders in immigration has become increasingly critical, not only in the context of enforcement but also in defining the rights of undocumented immigrants. Considering the complexities that arise, I wonder how the concept of a “writ of mandamus” could play a role in addressing disputes over immigration policy today. Could this legal tool serve as a means for individuals to challenge government inaction related to their immigration status? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
