Please show where Reagan ever uttered those words.

LOL We both know Reagan didn't say those exact words, but isn't that the message that is sent when illegals are granted amnesty? If not, what IS the message?

Thanks for the links. It shows that the station officials ordered them to stand down, not Bush. (Which refutes the original claim that Bush ordered them to stand down.) By the way, we know that sweeps for illegals continue. There have been reports posted here on FR that shows they are occurring, so it's clear Bush has NOT ordered an end to them.

Perhaps you could show evidence of how Bush has rejected the poor policies of his predecessors on immigration enforcement.

Since I never claimed that he did, there's no reason for me to do so.

If you had your druthers, no blame whatsoever would fall to Bush's lap.

Please copy and paste where I ever said Bush doesn't get some blame in this fiasco. Oh, that's right, you can't. I never said that.

Accordign to you, only the Presidents who came before him bear any responsibilty for what's going on now.

Again, please copy and paste where I ever said that. Oh, that's right, you can't, since I never said such a thing.

What responsibility does Bush bear for his part in this fiasco?

As I have said repeatedly on this thread, he shares the blame with the former Presidents.

What exactly has Bush done to reverse the bad policies of his predecessors and correct the situation?

Once again, I never made a claim that he righted any wrongs. I just said he isn't the only one to blame. That seems to get under the skin of some folks on FR, but it's the truth none the less.

And thank you for admitting I never said Bush should be excused.

No, the station commanders acted without orders when they started the sweeps. They were following orders when they told the teams to stand-down.

Late last month, Undersecretary of Homeland Security Asa Hutchinson told members of Congress that the raids were executed without the approval of higher ranking officials. While the sweeps were not illegal, they violated policy and the chain of command, Hutchinson said.

As I have said repeatedly on this thread, he shares the blame with the former Presidents.

Blame for what? What exactly has he done that deserves blame?

To blame for what? What has Bush done that deserves blame?
