[Katzndogz]

Reagan always said that was the most regrettable action he ever took. At least he had the grace to be sorry.

The intention was to clear the books and enforce the law from that point on. He should have known better. The democrats were lying to him. There was not ever an intention to enforce the law.

This is rebuttal? Wrong THEN...wrong NOW.

 

[Claudette]

Yes he did grant amnesty.

It was supposed to be a one time thing.

I think they assumed that the Mexicans would stay in Mexico after those in the US were granted citizenship.

Boy was he wrong.

Unintended consequences.

It didn't help that Congress didn't fulfill thier end of the bargain.

That seems to happen quite a bit when you have a Dem controlled Congress.

Bush I could tell you all about it.

 

[thanatos144]

I guess he was to kind to assume the democrats wouldn't be lying scumsucking assholes and would keep their word with enforcing immigration laws...

Haven't you been paying attention to Cammm, TM, and the rest of the libtards? Don't you know you cant do that! HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

I was to young really to support and not this action but I know now I wouldnt support it. But I was like 14 and all I was worried about was trying to get a feel of some poor girls boobs.

I was in the USAF in the Azores at the time and thought he was making a mistake with compromise with the Democrats...and it was wrong.

Is there suppose to be some point to this thread?

As history has shown you were right.....Regan trusted the liars to be honorable like himself.

I told you....he was a Democrat even up to the spending. The problem was instead of taxing people to keep things in pretty good tow he borrowed it from foreign banks.

Hell...you give me $3 trillion to spend and I could be a good president...especially back in the 80's while a dollar was worth something.

The cold hard facts are that Reagan granted amnesty to a third of all the illegals in this country in the 80's. Now that 7 million has blossumed into more than 21 million.

Obama's statement today is one of the smartest political moves I've ever seen on my life...'Course I'm just 77
