Jake966 Actually, I think Reagan would agree with Republican Representative from Texas Chip Roy, who said:
"I saw former President Trump make that allegation earlier today on one of his social media posts. 'All the president has to do is declare the borders closed and it's closed.' Well, with all due respect, that didn't happen in 2017, 18, 19, and 20. There were millions of people who came into the United States during those four years and Trump stopped very very few of them despite his lies."
He went on to say that "Mayorkas.....and Biden has just as little to do with the migration problems because the laws are antiquated........last written in the early 1980's....and since then no one has really cared about new laws because more can be gained in election years by Republicans complaining no Dem wants to fix this..............and now when Dems do.........Republicans are blocking it to kiss up to Trump"
For decades, US immigration law and policy was designed to spit in the eye of Fidel Castro by treating everyone who set foot on Florida as an asylum seeker. This helped earn votes from a swing demographic in a swing state.
I agree, we need immigration reform (last one was Reagan's 1986 amnesty). And we had it with the Senate Bipartisan border bill. And Trump and his lackeys KILLED it before it could even be debated.
