What kind of 'deal' did he think he had with the congress to give him something later...? And if there was such a deal can you find any quotes where Reagan expressed regrets about the amnesty deal later, in retrospect?<br />Finally as to why I want 'them' allowed in...As a young adult I worked exclusively in the Golf Course construction business and in the 'Food and Beverage' industry. This was when the minimum wage was much closer to a living wage than it is today (the 70s) and I lost many jobs and a lot of salary to illegal workers who were working at one 3rd the minimum wage. If they had been legal and paid the minimum wage I would have fared better.Philosopher Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700185488169552880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760569140281344603.post-54347801525557297472014-07-29T17:57:13.737-04:002014-07-29T17:57:13.737-04:00I'd go for that.

The deal Reagan made was amnesty for the million plus illegals here in exchange for securing the border.<br /><br />True to form after Reagan signed the amnesty democrats laughed in his face and refused to secure the border. If Obama would agree to similar sort of deal I doubt very seriously if Republicans would go back on their agreement llike democrats always do.<br /><br />On a side note ... can you explain why you want millions of uneducated, unskilled, non-englsih speaking people here when they drain our resources, depress wages and take jobs from Americans?<br /><br />I'm really serious. No liberal ever gives me an answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
