Bolshevik Revolution, also known as the October Revolution and commonly referred to as Red October begins with capture of Winter Palace on November 6, 1917. Bolsheviks led their forces in the uprising in Petrograd (modern day Saint Petersburg), the capital of Russia, against the Kerensky Provisional Government. For the most part, the revolt in Petrograd was bloodless, with the Red Guards led by Bolsheviks taking over major government facilities with little opposition before finally launching an assault on the poorly defended Winter Palace.
Reagan signed landmark immigration reform bill in 1986. The law aimed to secure the U.S.-Mexico border against illegal crossings with new surveillance technology and a bigger staff. The bill also, for the first time in history, imposed penalties on businesses that knowingly hired or employed unauthorized immigrants. It provided amnesty for immigrants who could prove they had been living in the country without legal approval continuously since January 1, 1982. The final version of the bill was approved in the House of Representatives by a vote of 238 to 173, and in the Senate by a vote of 63 to 24. Representative Charles E. Schumer, a Brooklyn Democrat emerged as one of the bill’s staunchest supporters in Congress.
The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the USA in 1986 was an estimated 5 million; in 2020 it was estimated to be 11.1 million. Also called illegal immigrants, undocumented, illegal aliens. No telling what it is now.
