Yes, I'm following the thread.
I followed it well enough to note you left off a certain President you admire, and now you justify the gift of amnesty because it is a part of his legacy. All in an attempt to slam everyone BUT one.
Guess what? Supposedly THIS President wants enforcement of the borders as well. Amnesty plus enforcement = similiar to Reagan's plan. Guess what? We still have the same Democrats and RINO's that made amnesty possible during Reagan's administration working to make this doable now.
I don't particularly care how you justify it. It was wrong when Reagan did it, it is wrong for Bush to call for it. It was wrong for 41 and Clinton not to enforce border control, it was wrong for Carter not to do so. It was wrong of every politician that has failed this issue and there is NO justification nor saving grace for not doing so.
I WILL grant that Reagan's ENFORCEMENT puts him a step above others, but he STILL signed allowing amnesty and I am NOT naive. He knew how washington D.C. worked. He KNEW it was not a one time deal when he did it. Maybe he hoped it would be, I don't know, but I don't believe Reagan was a stupid man. It was only a question of timing as to when the next amnesty would be proposed.
IF you expect me not to point out a deliberate omission on your part, forget it. I feel like pointing out the failures of every politician on this issue today. Especially as I see another country's flags being waved in my face in demands my OWN country bow down to them.
No you're not.

If you had been paying attention, you would have seen my remarks about Reagan signing the 86 amnesty.
#24: "Same mistake that was made 20 years ago, is being made again."
#36: "While Reagan’s 1986 immigration reforms can at least be called rational, they were a failure."
#63: "Reagan gave amnesty to the 2.5 million illegals who where here in 1986."
What do you want me to post? I'm not going to trash Reagan using political hindsight. Truth is, the 1986 amnesty was wrong because the employer sanction provisions weren't enforced. Period.
>>>>IF you expect me not to point out a deliberate omission on your part, forget it.
I don't see any omission on my part.
Ok, folks! What do we want to do about this? Do we just say, "It's too bad we lost our country?" or do we do something? That's the thing about FreeRepublic. I have seen how organized this group can be. I have seen how we can make a difference together. On the other hand, this isn't just a Conservative issue. There are many Liberals that are fed up with this too. Maybe it's time everyone got together to do something. Just where do we start?
