Then make me aware and show me his actual quote.
Reagan was not a sovereignty trading fool like what he have in the White House today.
I didn't realize that the bill President Reagan signed, or the one just passed by the House, gave outright ownership of the United States to these immigrants.
Now let me tell you what Reagan did believe: he believed that America, unlike places as the USSR or Red China didn't have to build walls, real or symbolic, to keep people in, or keep out those seeking economic liberty and freedom.
Reagan had confidence in the ideals of Americanism, and conservatism.
And FYI, those who will benefit from the most recent bill have already been here. The only 'law' being broken is the ineptness of a gov.'t bureaucracy, the INS.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, Reagan said, would "regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people, American citizenship."
And here's the source of the quote.
Please, in the future, don't compare Reagan to Bush. There isn't any. He understood the concept of borders and citizenship.
