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.

Thanks for being honest...Bet the rent, everything considered, Reagan would have *never* even considered amnesty in 2008.
