My point is that the problems in the 1980's only dwarf in lighht of what's going on today. But not to the people in the 80's...and that's when Reagan said it. You just can't grasp that, can you?

I think you just answered your own question. The problems of immigration in the 80s are dwarfed by what's happening today. What Reagan said then has little bearing on our own current crisis. Looked at another way, should we take FDR’s words to heart that we should have a great society of big government when we have seen the results of what that big government brings?

You do whatever you want to do with Reagan's words. He made that speech in the face of an immigration problem that he tought could not get any worse, now, in order to justify your position, you are going revisionist about Reagan.

I have proven, beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt, how Ronald Reagan felt about immigration when faced with the worst immigration problem that the US had ever faced.

All you have to do is prove to me that he would have felt different today.

Here's a hint before you go crazy....you can't, it's impossible.
