“I remember Reagan growing the federal government and giving illegals amnesty. Thus, unlike some folks around here, I fail to get all tingly at the mere mention of his name. “
I remember Reagan giving amnesty for 1 or 2 million and the laws that went with it were never enforced...not once in 24 years.
Think Reagan would sign amnesty now for 20 million? I’m just trying to gauge how dumb you are.
Reagan cut taxes and thus doubled the revenues for the federal government during his term in office.
The problem was, the Democrat controlled House and Senate more than tripled their spending.
As for the illegal immigrants Reagan gave amnesty to, they arrived here over a period of more than twenty years, came over at a rate of roughly 35,000 per year, and assimilated into our nation rather well.
That doesn’t even come close to what is taking place today.
So rather than simply agree that what Laura said was unfortunate, some people come to this forum to trash Reagan so she can look better.
That’s pretty much what the Democrats do. They trash our best leaders rather than acknowledge that what they are doing is wrong.
As for a tingle feeling going down my leg, I don’t get those for other men. And I’m rather surprised when I see FReepers who think of themselves as ‘in good standing’ use such imagery, something our nation’s socialists have an almost solid lock on.
Homosexual intimations aren’t something the Conservatives I know use. Why it ranks right up there with Tea Bagging, and other imaginative communist/fascist/marxist/socialist slanders.
My recollection was something more like 3 or 4 million. You could be right, though.
and the laws that went with it were never enforced...not once in 24 years.
Gosh, what a surprise. Nobody could have seen that coming. And now, here we sit with 15-20 million more. Go figure.
Think Reagan would sign amnesty now for 20 million?
No but, that's beside the point.
I’m just trying to gauge how dumb you are.
Oh, I'm so hurt. Go gauge yourself.
