Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I am proposing to Congress today a set of actions to help markedly reduce the increasing flow of undocumented aliens in this country and to regulate the presence of the millions of undocumented aliens..."

"The purpose of these changes is to provide for strong direction by the President and the National Security Council."

"I believe that marked improvements in source countries' economies are achievable by their own efforts with support from the United States."

"That's my hope and my prayer."
