Reagan's ode to immigrants.

Big business warns Trump against mass deportation


WASHINGTON — Still grappling with Donald Trump’s surprise election, the nation’s business community has begun to pressure the president-elect to abandon campaign-trail pledges of mass deportation and other hard-line immigration policies that some large employers fear would hurt the economy.

The push, led by an advocacy group backed by New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg and media mogul Rupert Murdoch, is still in its infancy as the business world struggles to understand the tough-talking Trump’s true intentions on an issue that defined his outsider campaign. Some groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are holding off, doubtful that Trump will actually create a deportation force, as he suggested before his election, to expel those estimated 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.

11 million

Open doors for the American dream. Reagan’s last speech as president (1989).

To be clear, I am not a fan of Reagan. He has benefitted enormously, from a reputational standpoint, by a massive amount of revisionist history written about him by conservative media. This rhetorical mythology has sainted a deeply flawed, simplistic, ideologue who served the interests of the men behind his rise to the presidency.

But to his credit he did have an understanding of the contributions to the country made by immigrants. And he possessed the courage to do something about it.

A Reagan Legacy: Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants


trump fans likely regard Reagan's attitude towards immigrants as deeply flawed. I regard it as one of his only redeeming qualities.

Now, we have stuff like this.

Stephen Miller seemed floored by the idea, raised during a fall Cabinet meeting in 2018, of  keeping open the doors for Afghan allies and other Middle East refugees to enter the US.

ā€œWhat do you guys want?ā€ Miller, then a top adviser to President Donald Trump, asked incredulously, according to one person in the room. ā€œA bunch of Iraqs and ā€˜Stans across the country?ā€

His words stunned many in the meeting, but they were no accident. Under Miller’s guidance, several sources told CNN, the Trump administration was purposefully slow-walking the entry of all refugees – including allies who aided American soldiers in Afghanistan.


You do a great disservice to Reagan on this issue

Nowhere did he say that 100 million foreigners are welcome here should THEY decide to be here

Reagan thought giving amnesty to 3 million illegals would solve the problem

Because thats what open border libs led him to believe

But it only made it worse
 
No one know how many are here

You are just repeating a lie
Hey stupid. How can I be ā€œrepeating a lieā€ when YOU say no one knows ?

What I was repeating was repeating what the AP reported

Its a number that someone pulled out of their ass and fed to you
 
My unsupported guess is 30 million
And you base that on what?

Here is the PEW Institute.


They put the number in 2022 at 12 million . At most it would be something less than 14 million now.

That’s HALF of your bullshit claim. And only a little higher than the number here in 2007

They are just guessing

And they have a political bias to guess on the low side

I have no claim that binds you

I dont believe your guessimate and you dont believe mine
 
That’s truer of you than them
You are free to think so

In the meantime MAGAs won the election and we are going to work with a more realistic number than you offer

Is that so.

That means that you have to put a system together that will deport THIRTY MILLION PEOPLE

Lots of luck
