Reagan gave "amnesty" is much smaller numbers -- but that was PRE-9/11. Now the numbers are egregiously staggering.
Reagan "spent big" to rebuild the severe depletion of the Carter military, while rescitating a dead economy.
Meanwhile GH Bush was a comatose RINO who de-energized the "base" -- and THAT's why he lost to a Bubba who should have been slaughtered.

THAT and a guy named "Perot", who was spot-on in his warning about the 'giant sucking sound' of jobs lost.
Reagan gave amnesty...would you feel better if Bush gave amnesty to an equal number of illegal aliens?
I doubt it.
Bush spent big partly to rebuild a military left in ashambles by Bill Clinton, and to stop a dangerous downward spiral in the economy that started about a year before Clinton left office, and was made worse by 9/11. Today's economy should answer any questions you have about whether the Reagan-styled Bush spending worked or not.
I'll save you the time and effort...it did.
Bush I sacrificed his presidency in order to negotiate a deal with the Dems that led to the full realization of the Reagan economic plan; Clinton took office and took credit for the reagan/Bush I economic boom.
"We" did not lose anything, "conservatives" in a hissy fit proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the only thing they can do is put Democrats in power...which they did, twice.
The "conservative movement's" legacy will forever be known as The Clinton Presidency.
