One more time.
Reagan didn't support open borders. Reagan said: "A nation without borders is not a nation." Reagan did sign into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 that granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegals. It specified prosecution and punishment for employers who hired illegals. If that law was enforced, the IRCA of 1986 would have turned out to be what it was meant to be, a one time ONLY amnesty deal. Instead, the Feds lack of enforcement led to a ongoing series of liberal immigration policies under Bush41, Clinton and Bush43, that has led to the 10-15 million illegals we have living in the US today.
Reagan wasn't into repeating the mistakes of history,. Bush43 wants to ignore the 20/20 hindsight of history and grant amnesty to the 15 million illegals living in the USA today. How dumb can one be!
Is that why he also gave support to the Brady gun control bill.
