Your constant insinuating that Ronald Reagan, unlike the current occupant of the White House, believed whoever could sneak, crawl, or get smuggled in past the border should be welcomed with open arms is getting tiresome. A quote from Ronald Reagan:

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, Reagan said, would "regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people, American citizenship."

And here's the source of the quote.

Please, in the future, don't compare Reagan to Bush. There isn't any. He understood the concept of borders and citizenship.

You're absolutely right that there's no comparison between W and Reagan. Reagan was a man who had had a career that he built himself, and had reared children and provided for them to adulthood himself before he ever got into politics.

W is a boy in his 50s who will never grow up because he doesn't have to. He has never worked a day in his life and has never done anything to amount to a hill of beans outside political office. He's a daddy's boy and will never be a man. People who try to compare him to Reagan make me sick.

He also said,

"Give me your tired your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Sir, I never insinuated that at all about Ronald Reagan, and your remarks towards George W are inflammatory, derogatory, and inaccurate.

And if you find my remarks tiresome, I'd suggest a few cups of expresso if you choose to read any in the future.
Because I've no intent of changing my tune.
