Anyone who uses RR, and the Berlin Wall, to argue against a fence to control unfettered Mexican immigration, well, it's just impossible to argue against someone like that. I'd have to start at the beginning, like 2nd grade or so, and build on that base of understanding and logic, and then maybe we could talk. In your case, I don't have time

JMO, sarcasm isn't your all DUmmies strong suit.

You wouldn't understand sarcasm, as you don't understand border issues. By the way, RR would have been strongly in favor of a fence. During his administration, "La Migra" still went into neighborhoods and factories and rounded up Mexicans and shipped them back to Mexico. He opposed immigration reform for years, and finally agreed to it after Senator Simpson of Wyo. pushed it for years. Employer sanctions were the key, and would have worked, if they had been enforced after Reagan. Instead, they became a joke. But RR hated the idea of amnesty, it was the biggest stumbling block. Faced with a wide open border and no enforcement, he'd have done two things: Enforced the border, enforced employer sanctions, and challenged congress to come up with a guest worker program that wasn't a disguised amnesty.

But you know RR better than I. After all, you have a picture of him at the Berlin Wall. Newbie.
