If Reagan thought politicians were going to enforce immigration laws, he was sadly deluded.

95%+ politicians owe their re-election chances to their rich donor class. It is NOT the middle class who keeps them in power, rather it is the donors who can single handedly contribute millions. Note that just 4 donors contributed nearly $40 million to the Cruz for president effort.

The rich donor class FAVORS influx of cheap labor. If Reagan did not recognize this he was delusional. There was no way in heck majority of politicians were going to enforce immigration laws.

Again I repeat, reward bad behavior (in this case illegal entry in US) and you will get more bad behavior. That is exactly what happened. From the 3.5 million illegals who were present during Reagan era, no we have may be 10 times as many.

You’re basically an idiot.

Reagan was deluded?

No, but I know someone who has gone down that road missing so many signals along the way.

You lost this disagreement when you started pushing Leftist talking points.
