If certain parts of the country had been aware of how things were and are, possibly. But it was still in the late 1980s that amnesty was given to millions of illegal invaders under Ronald Reagan.

I think it is far, far, far better for Sub-Saharan African criminal gang members to go to Sub-Saharan Africa and live there instead of becoming slaves through the prison labour system that the Democrats has sought to set up, and likewise far, far, far better than them abetting (intentionally or not) in the destruction of the USA.
I also fear that a considerable number of 1980s Democrats would have merely feigned support for such an idea and/or sought to sabotage it or twist it into something (extremely) wretched and evil.
