I dunno, I am a Reaganite who believes in the promise of America, and the vision of the shining city on the hill, and I also reject as loathsome and anti-American those who would believe we must batten down the hatches, close up shop and hide. America is bigger, better and bolder than that. Ronald Reagan also said a country without borders isn't a country. Part of his 1986 amnesty bill included 5000 additional guards to seal the border and employer sanctions to enforce laws against hiring of illegal aliens.
His "shining city on the hill" was meant for legal immigrants, not anyone who could crawl across the borders in the middle of the night. He was against illegal immigration, so please, don't try to rewrite history to suit your big-business, Wall St. Journal, Cato Institute agenda. Or maybe its your liberal, Dick Gephardt one.
Did I say I was FOR illegal immigration? I'm not. But legal immigration? You bet. And furthermore, Reagan was definitely pro-big business and pro-entrepreneurship (Perhaps you would rather get rid of all the jobs they create and the people they employ? How about we stifle any business over 100 people--that small enough for you? See where that takes the country.) He was a huge fan of and strongly influenced by Hayek and Smith and believed strongly in supply-side economics, economic liberty and free trade. With your screenname, you should know that.
