No one even considered this it to be an "Invasion" 25 years ago.
During the last 8 years of Bush, our borders became an absolute free for all, with a conga-ling of millions entering. Those that had a belly full and went down to the borders to help stop this invasion, were called Vigilantes by Bush...
During Bush, credible estimates of *30* million were believed to have entered illegally...
The Texas border became a war zone under Bush....
Parkland Hospital in Dallas is now delivering almost 1000 illegal alien babies per month!
So what did Bush do recently?
Bush attempted to shove amnesty down our throats, when the American people were *clearly* *overwhelmingly* against it.
Lets see if you can be honest here.
Question:
Considering everything above, do you believe if Reagan were president in 2008, he would have attempted to shove an amnesty down our throats when the American people were overwhelmingly against it?
I seriously doubt it. So does Ed Meese, his Attorney General.
What would President Reagan do? For one thing, he would not repeat the mistakes of the past, including those of his own administration. He knew that secure borders are vital, and would now insist on meeting that priority first. He would seek to strengthen the enforcement of existing immigration laws. He would employ new tools--like biometric technology for identification, and cameras, sensors and satellites to monitor the border--that make enforcement and verification less onerous and more effective.
That doesn't close the floodgate. And Bush's amnesty program failed.
