Just curious, what did you think of Reagan?

The President supports our Marines, something that Regan did not do.

I loved Reagan and think highly of him. I realize that the last debacle with immigration was in his second term, but I think he was really sandbagged on it. Besides, this is the second time immigration has come up strongly, and there's an old saying about "fool me once, shame on you......."

Additionally, President Bush (whom I still admire and respect) is clearly out in left field about not being able to do anything about the influx and finding and deporting existing illegals and punishing the people who hire them. I don't think Zell Miller would say it couldn't be done.

This whole issue revolves around not pissing off Hispanics in this country (whether legal or illegal) and the potential for new Democrat voters. And President Bush and the Senate are doing it against majority consensus of the population be damned. Well, I'll tell you, that majority consensus is speaking to ITS voice, the House, and my prediction is that it will be a cold day in hell when that Senate bill passes out of conference......
