President Obama’s controversial move to open the nation’s door to millions of illegal immigrants is a fulfillment of former President Reagan’s dream of building a “shining city on a hill,” according to a progressive group’s TV ad.
The video from Americans United for Change shows Reagan talking about his move to relax immigration rules. In it the Gipper references his “shining city” that has doors open “to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.”
It immediately flips to Obama who adds, “that’s the legacy we must leave for those who are yet to come.”
The ad, previewed for Secrets, will begin running this weekend on Fox, CNN and MSNBC nationally, and heavily in on Washington stations. The group said it will run other similar ads if Republicans continue to take shots at Obama’s immigration action unveiled Thursday night....

Reagan wanted qualified workers, not moochers. The remainder of the speech gives the context.
It's not so much what he's doing, as the unconstitutional power gab he is taking to do it.
Communist propaganda. Emperor Barry’s “stupid Americans” will eat this up. The commie pigs down at ***holes Unplugged for Change need to keep President Reagan out of this.
Is HRH George III featured in the new ad?
These people are certifiably INSANE. Seriously, do they believe that even their low information voting base will buy this garbage?!!!
Some French poet wrote that... we cannot continue to have a welfare state and unchecked immigration ... it is a recipe for disaster not prosperity.
Unfortunately, it is a brightly festooned back alley reminiscent of Tijuana. Or will be. Habla espanol?
Well, I would argue that a society where government is allowed to redistribute wealth is a recipe for disaster. All of us or our ancestors were from another country including our Founders, so I don’t care who wrote those words, but I agree with them. America was meant for the downtrodden to come and build a life free from government oppression and interference.
The Constitution gives Congress the power to determine immigration rules, not the President. The President’s job is to enforce the law.
Our focus needs to be slaying the $4,000,000,000,000 federal government dragon and canning those including Obama who want to turn us into a lawless, collectivist state.
Plus Milton Friedman.
