“Did they forget that Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to three million Americans?”

Juan, do you mean the three million who have turned into nine million democrat voters?

I guess this means we should let 3 billion immigrants in.

So BFD, McLame. What a stupid line of reasoning.

He remembers that none of the promises made to Reagan for the amnesty ever came true. Reagan remembered, too.

John McCain, have you forgotten how to tie your shoes?

“Did they forget that Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to three million Americans?"

Reagan didn't have the historical perspective to look back on and see the rats promise tougher immigration enforcement in return for amnesty and then renege on their promise.

Reagan had the honesty to actually call it amnesty.

Really, Senator McCain, it's time for you to STFU and move on. It's obvious that you are no longer working for the benefit of America but for your personal interests, at the expense of America.

What an SOB John McCain is.

Reagan approved the bill based on two issues:

1. there would only be 1.5 million people estimated to receive amnesty. The true total was 3.5 million.

2. The border would be made secure. It never was.

His old pal Ted Kennedy lied through his teeth about the 1986 bill.

Including the part where Teddy said “WE WILL NEVER ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN TO APPROVE AN AMNESTY BILL.”

28 years is not never.

I am so sick of hearing/seeing John McStain on the news every darn day. Shut up, ya old coot!

"Did they forget that Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to three million Americans"

Gee John, HOW does somebody give amnesty to an "AMERICAN"?

How can a US Senator be this stupid?

If I sneak into Italy illegally, I'm NOT "Italian", no matter what anyone says.

R.R. gave amnesty to 3 million illegals, and now they vote for Democrats.

That was as stupid as McCain.

Learning from your mistakes shows mental growth and not repeating the mistakes shows common sense.

McCain lacks both

“A mistake as it turned out since no one enforced the border after.”

This was one of the few major errors made by Reagan. What happened was that he and Tip O’Neil supposedly had a deal, “one Old Irishman to another”. But Tip, as all Democrats do, lied to Reagan and never kept his part of the deal. Reagan should have followed his own “trust but verify” commandment. Or as Ann Coulter puts it, “never trust a Liberal over three years old”.

no, no one has forgotten

and no one has forgotten than Congress refused to carryout its oversight role to see to it that amnesty would not be needed again, and between an absent Congress and negligent presidents, the security demands approved with the amnesty were never enforced sufficient to do as promised - end illegal immigration

no McPain, we haven’t forgotten

that’s why we say never again

I hate (not really) to be a grammar and rhetoric crank, but if they were Americans, then why did Reagan need to give them amnesty?

That amnesty of 3 million illegals sorta opened up the flood gates, didn’t it?

President “Ike” took a different view after WW II and deported 5 million illegals in “Operation Wetback”. Yet, people continue to say there are too many to deport. ...So, it could be done with trains in the 1950s, but with our vastly improved transportation services of today it just can’t be done?

I’m tired of hearing the ‘amnesty dogs’ of both parties continuing to claim there are ‘11 million undocumented immigrants’. That’s the figure that was being used back in 2005-2007, when Bush 43 tried for amnesty and failed.

Since the Obama regime has refused to provide border security and deportation laws for illegal aliens, including those who crossed and those whose visas expired, the number of illegals in the US is now probably closer to 25-30 million.

He screwed California as Governor, he gave us withholding tax to pay for his extreme spending and packing the State with government employees so on a one time basis the budget was balanced in his last year by getting 2 years taxes in one year.

As President he gave us the biggest tax increase in history, the 1986 Tax Simplification Act.

Has McCain forgotten that the Rats double-crossed Reagan on the deal. It was supposed to be amnesty for closing the border. He agreed to amnesty if the Rats agreed to fix the illegal immigration problem. Guess what? Democrats did what Democrats ALWAYS do . . . they lied and deceived.

McCain disgusts me. . . .

Damn Juan McLame needs to STFU about anything. The only good thing he can say is “I’m retiring”.
