I suppose Reagan was a RINO for having Bush as a VP, then?

and for signing the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

You must be braindead.... Reagan was no RINO.

The IRCA of 1986 was meant to be a one time amnesty deal. Period. It included severe penalties for employers who hired illegals --- up to a $1,000,000 fine. Ted Kennedy gutted the enforcement provisions and the rest is history. Roughly 2.7 million illegals were effected by the passing of the IRCA of 1986.

Reagan wasn't perfect but he learned from his mistakes and he would not support blanket amnesty for illegals again. If Reagan were around today, he would take a far different position on the illegal immigration issue then he did 20 years ago. Reagan would support enforcement first --- assure the borders were secured and employers halted their practice of hiring illegals in direct violation of US law. I'm confident, Reagan would also support building a barrier along the border with Mexico. Dangerous times require serious decisions be made.

Reach down deep in your heart and try not to hate Ronald Reagan. You really need to come to terms with your hate for him. He is dead you know.
