Reagan didn't turn a blind eye to companies knowingly hiring illegal.Actually, you dummies don't realize that before Reagan turned a blind eye to companies hiring illegals, we always had migrants come in across the border (illegally I guess) and then at the end of fruit picking season, they would walk back home with a shit ton of money. Not a lot to you but to them a fortune.
We never had a problem until employers started hiring them to work full time, year round, doing jobs Americans do. Like housekeeping. Waiters. Painters. You name it.
It was okay when they just came to pick fruit.
The other problem was realizing terrorists could potentially get in this way. So we do need to patrol our border. Year round. No wall. Patrol it. With humans, drones, in some places a wall.
You have him confused with your current President, Xiden.

But your comment makes no sense, "until Reagan turned a blind eye to companies hiring illegal, we always had illegals coming across"? What?
It's never ok if they simply come here illegally to pick fruit. We have a process called. H-2A visas just for that and it was Reagan that created the program in 1986: H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers | USCIS
Actually, when Trump was President, and we had a President that didn't make it their policy not to go after illegal employers, we saw an increase in H-2A visas...https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/h-2a-workers-us-agriculture
