Operation Wetback 1954, was last serious attempt to control illegal immigration.

Reagan's amnesty was the biggest slap in the face to all those who immigrated legally and for those competing for jobs with those illegals. It also set a precedent that made illegals think it would happen again if they just waited long enough. Being rewarded for their illegal behavior was one of the most loathsome things I've seen in this country. Reagan may have been a good President overall but he made some huge mistakes. That and screwing over the air traffic control Union are the two biggies I can remember.

Still; he did a lot of good too like the Berlin wall coming down and ending the cold war.

It was a long time ago so refresh my memory, but I think he handled the air traffic controller strike just fine. They’re not allowed to strike. Doing that will cripple the nation. They decided to defy the law and he got rid of them. Edd of story. That’s exactly what Trump would do, I’m guessing.

Unions should not be allowed to hold companies - or countries- hostage. That’s just using mob tactics.

Oh, and I agree with you on his amnesty. I agree with you 100%. He was told after he amnestied them, enforcement would take place and there would never be another amnesty. You would think he would be smart enough not to believe the liberals.

All by himself?
