“...Don’t talk about Reagan leaving the barn door open. It isn’t true.

I agree.
Thank you. I see this paraded out every so often. It’s not fair to Reagan.
He was told there would be 1 million illegals signing up. 3.5 million did. He was gamed by the Left and his own staff >IMO on the last part there.
I was against the amnesty. I thought it was a mistake. It was.
Reagan was a good man that thought things out logically. He was willing to trade off 1 million, to get the tough new laws. That’s the sort of thing you have to do when there’s a Democrat House and Senate.
It should have ended any problems. It still could if they would just enforce our laws at the border and inland. They don’t.
We even have sanctuary cities now, but that isn’t the worst of it. We are in effect a sanctuary nation. We are not serious about deporting. Illegals inland have a pass. The laws are not being enforced anywhere.
