GHW Bush did not enforce the laws of our nation.
THAT AND NOT REAGAN’S ACTIONS, CAUSED THE INFLUX OF INCREASED LEVELS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS?
What part of that is too complex for you to grasp?
Are you aware of what took place in Danbury, Connecticut back in 2009?
“DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — Scores of immigrants are fleeing this western Connecticut city, residents say, as the economy falters and the police department begins a partnership with federal immigration officials that puts more pressure on illegal immigrants.”
“Immigrants aren’t so sure. Barbara Levitt, 58, owner of the Upscale Downtown consignment shop, said immigrant-owned stores began disappearing after the City Council applied to the immigration program.
“You could drive down this street, and you could see, all of a sudden, there were all these ‘for rent’ signs,” she said. “People just left town.”
GHW Bush and his whole family have been miserable on this.
Where the laws have been enforced, illegal aliens and crime have dropped.
This anti-Reagan nonsense ignores everything but Reagan’s actions, and I’m not buying off on it.
I didn’t agree with Reagan’s actions, but blaming him is just wrong-headed, and is helpful to the Left as they try to trash his legacy. I’ll have no part of it.

Appreciate your detailed responses. Stating facts is not trashing. There is nothing in what I said, that the liberal left does not already know. I don’t think in 2017 they are spending energy or will spend energy on trashing Reagan. 30 years is very long time. Reagan is old history in political time scale.
The immediate agenda of the left is to trash Trump. He is their biggest problem obstructing their agenda. Obamacare, the Wall, Islamic terrorists, Foreign trade deficits nearing Trillion every year, cap & trade, are the issues on which they resent Trump the most.
And the fact remains, that after Reagan’s blanket amnesty for all illegals, the influx of illegals accelerated. My best guess is now we have in excess of 30 million illegals in the country, taking jobs away from citizens at lower wages, sponging off the welfare system, degrading & burdening schools, and worse of all committing crimes which we do not need from illegals. We have enough crimes from US citizens already.
