We don't know what really spurred the argument. We don't know what triggered that, and what caused it to get so violent.

Only the amnesty leg 'worked.' That is, a lot of foreign lawbreakers got full amnesty, and it spurred a lot more mass illegal immigration. The 2 million residual illegal alien population of 1988 grew to 3.5 million in 1990, 4 million in 1992, 5 million in 1996, 7 million in 2000 and 10 million today.
