No, he believed if he signed the Simpson-Mazzoli Act he dems would uphold their end of the deal to secure the border and approve funding for a fence..That never happened..
Reagan was and is not Messiah to our side he was at best a moderate, and at worst a Neo Con.
The dems deliberately did not not up hold their side of the deal, that was their intent to add millions of new entitlement voters to their ranks..
LOL. These folks would not be given citizenships under most proposed bills. So there goes the voters thing.
Make the case on why America should bankrupt itself for people who are breaking the law and taking out and will always take out more then they put in, who actively support the same failures and values that destroyed their home countries?
6.3 trillion..$6,300,000,000,000,000 Sorry, but this nation or any nation cant not, would, should not, and will not foot that bill...Deal with it.
And we do not have xenophobe, you just have xenophilia which means an affection for unknown/foreign objects or peoples.
There were no open borders to those who came through Ellis Island. They were screened for criminality, deseases, etc. They had to have something to offer this country, there were no welfare programs and we didn't have 320 million people already here. We needed tradesmen and manual laborers. We don't today.
Since when are those of us alive today responsible for what our ancestors did or didn't do? I'm only responsible for my own actions.
No, we aren't deporting record numbers of immigrants. Obama admitted himself that those numbers were skewered. That along with him instructing Homeland Security not to deport any illegal aliens unless they have a "convicted" criminal record and his DACA by EO and his record is dismal.
Kids escaping certain death? Don't make me laugh! These so-called kids and their parents got wind of Obama's lax enforcement policies and the 2008 refugee law implemented by Bush and they came running in hordes. Only those who had ties to the drug cartels and gangs might be in danger of death. One in fifteen Hondurans are being killed? Where's the link to that nonsense? Nada, zilch!
Why don't they seek refuge in another Hispanic country? What are we the flop house to the whole world? How is this humane to our own citizens? Oh I forgot, they don't count with liberals and ethnocentrics.
No it doesnt, if you are shooting at a robber and you accicently hit your wife who is being held at gun point, then your intent isnt to shoot your wife even though that is the end result.
If you cut taxes because you believe in ludwig von mises more than John Maynard Keynes and your country slips into a recession, your intention wasnt to cause a recession.
The worst part about this is the last time someone did try amnesty, it was a republican president and the world didnt end.
That's because there were only 3 million amnestied at that time and our economy wasn't in the tank like it is today. We have a shortage of jobs and resources today. Look at what amnestying 3 million did. Now we have at least quadruple the number of illegal aliens here today. When does it stop? We were promised that the Reagan amnesty would be the last one. What difference does it make what party affiliation the president had at that time? Reagan was wrong and so would it have been wrong if a Democrat president had signed that amnesty.
"The world didn't end". Oh the drama here. Well it certainly encouraged many more to come here, didn't it? If it doesn't stop our country will end as we know it.
I'm 28 and many of my family members were Democrats, but these were mostly older Democrats, many of whom were veterans. Most were Democrats because the Democrats were for the "little guy," and I always thought they generally had the nation's best interests at heart.
Today I see many Democrats who seem to want to redesign America in such a way as to make it unrecognizable to prior generations. They seem to have animosity toward, even hatred of, the way the country is.
It seems the left has become more anti-American over the last few years. How do you feel?
The republicans oppose welfare, high min wages, tax credits for low income workers, tax cuts for the middle class, helping middle class home foreclosure victims, healthcare for all (while the democrats support all those programs that help the poor and middle class.)
We need to stop being two-faced. The vast majority of Americans came from Ancestors who took this land by force and took advantage of open borders with no immigration laws via Ellis Island. All we did was process millions of immigrants. So please, don't lecture me.
We are deporting record numbers of people, #1.
The problem at hand today is really about kids escaping certain death. Would you feel safe keeping you kid in a country were 1 in 15 people are killed? Think about it.
This is a refugee and humanitarian issue. SIMPLE.
Then caring for people is being unpatriotic. Yeah, whatever.
The ironic thing about this "crisis" is that the USA is in a good part responsible for it. During the 80s there were wars in Central America that the US became involved in--openly and covertly, as usual for those days. These wars sent refugees north and some ended up in LA where they ended up in gangs. The gang members were then deported back to Central America where they continued their lawlessness and have created an atmosphere of danger that the families of these kids are trying to help their children escape.
How about the USA take a look at how their policies helped to create this situation and try to do the right thing. It's totally irresponsible for the US to say now--our hands are clean and these kids should be punished.
People are always talking about what a great country this is--how great is it to make messes around the world and then ignore them? People don't seem to care about the implications of US policies. No wonder the US is not very well respected around the world. And stop blaming Obama--the seeds for this crisis were planted under Reagan. How about some intelligent answers rather than punishment for victims of US policies? Does this country have no responsibility at all for its actions?

I had no idea the treatment of women in childbirth was such a vital issue to you (sar).
