Minors in the home of people who have been granted amnesty, were never going to be sent to another nation. If you want to spin that as Reagan going off the grid, you’re welcome to do so, I think it’s absolutly nuts to look at it that way.
Contrast that with what is going to take place now. Obama will simply grant amnesty to between 25 and 40 million people.
How does that measure up to 500 thousand children of people who have just been granted amnesty through legislation?
You see it as the same thing. I don’t share your view even remotely.
As for people brought in from Nicaragua, was that merely a presidential edict, or was it something Congress had ownership of as well?
I don’t know how refugee status is relegated. I don’t know the history of that sort of thing.
As for Obama not doing anything different than Reagan, you can push that for all it’s worth if you like. I’m not buying it.
