Of course I know the deal...and they agreed the border would be secured....it wasn’t...and that there would be a deportation..it didn’t happen. The democrates never keep their word.

This does not change the fact Reagan was for Amnesty of those who had lived here for awhile and contributed to this nation....that’s a fact.

Honest to God, are you seriously going to compare the amnesty Reagan agreed to when he tightened our immigration laws, to the plan for amnesty today?

If you know anything about the Reagan years, you know that Reagan saw illegal immigration as a problem. He agreed to grant amnesty to one million illegals, if the Dems agreed to sign on to new tough legislation that would tighten up our borders and levy serious fines against U.S. employers who hired them.

Compare one million to eleven million, and 3.5 million that signed on to the plan back then, to between 25 and 35 million that would sign on today.

Those are facts too.

BTW: Any plan for immigration reform I have seen, has as part of the plan to open up the flood gates to just about any Mexican that wants to come North, and this through legal means.

You could expect to see an exponentiation of the financial problems associated with today’s illegal immigration, with absolutely no ability to ever get that under control again.

This is what you are buying into, whether you realize it or not.

Contributed to this nation? ROTFLMAO

Undeniably, collected from this nation! That’s another fact you left out.

A totally different era with a total different set of facts.

Once again, that was *before* we were totally inundated upwards of 30 million illegals in the past 20 years, so bad there is now a war on the Texas border, as these millions have completely choked off and subverted and undermined our entire system.

Nice try.
