Even President Reagan knew: Immigration is fundamental to the fabric of our nation.

President Trump’s anti-immigrant attacks are cruel, and we’re fighting back.

What is the issue with The Wall? Immigrants are required to come to a port of entry and the wall may aid in making them do so. It might also reduce the illicit drugs from coming in. May not stop all of these things but if it can reduce them why not have it?

I have a serious question. Does everyone here support illegal immigration? Why? I support legal immigration as it is what help found this nation. Why is it bad to ask people to come here legally and remove those that don’t respect our nation’s laws by coming illegally?

sensibleone.bsky.social•9 days ago

Reagan, as I and others, know that immigration is part of the fabric of America. What he did not say or believe was that illegal immigration was part of that fabric. People like me have no issue with legal immigration. It is the illegal immigration with which we take issue.

The real cruelty is those persons that knowingly come here illegally, especially bringing others with them, under the guise that begging for forgiveness is going to be easier than asking permission. If one has no background issues then asking permission and being vetted will not be an issue.

sensibleone.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump, nor I, are not anti-immigrant. We are anti-illegal immigrant. Follow the law, come to the U.S. legally through a port of entry and if vetted and found to meet immigration policy and standard there will be no reason to be denied. There is no reason, or allowance, to come other than legally.

Bravo @aclu.org for clearly showing how far the Republican party of today has fallen into treacherous disrepair and disrespect. They have walked right off a dangerous cliff, plunging themselves into the abyss of dark maga insanity, and making Ronald Regan sound "liberal and woke" 🤣

Mango Mussolini nunca ha hecho nada por este País. La mayoría de migrantes, si.

Ojalá ese hijoeputa tener un poco de la ética de trabajo, moral y dignidad que tienen la mayoría de migrantes.

Cruel and detrimental to the country

Regan knew gay man who was dying of AIDS and refused to get the government involved.

Don't give this man credit.

My guess is if reagan was alive now he would be a much more racist person than Trump. Just couldn't get away with it back then.

Even as his CIA was actively destabilizing actual democracies in the entire hemisphere. Reagan was the despot’s preparatory officer, paving the way for institutional xenophobia.

hate to be like “bad take ACLU!” but this is giving “even the Cheneys are against Trump”

Reagan started all of this, he was an imbecile and had no idea the pandora box he was opening with radical right wing politics and the Federalist Society. Please do us all a favor and find another President to support your case and extend your reach.

meshaspeaks.bsky.social•11 days ago

If you know anything about him, then you’d know that this mother fucker was racist.

jsmith02.bsky.social•12 days ago

No, Reagan was another racist.

havanaborngirl.bsky.social•12 days ago

Reagan was incompetent. That was before his dementia and his loaded diaper.

jsmith02.bsky.social•12 days ago

The guy is the one that sent the po-po after the Black Panthers in California when he was governor.
Then when he gets elected POTUS, the po-po starts going after black people nationwide.

alisoncopeland.bsky.social•12 days ago

Fuck Reagan, racist to the core. He started this shit. He wanted migrants doing shit that no one would do for low wages. He discriminated against POC when he brought in university fees in California to stop POC getting an education and getting ahead.

sueromulus.bsky.social•12 days ago

Migrants are happy to work for lower wages as they tell me that American dollars they send back to their country in Colombia, Peru, or Mexico go way further than a dollar does here.

A healthy immigrant population is between 10-30%. They fill jobs Americans really don’t want.

pillsbury37.bsky.social•11 days ago

nobody is happy to work for less money. would you work for less money?

alisoncopeland.bsky.social•11 days ago

A lot of migrants do, look at UK pre brexit, UK can't find enough home grown labour now to do the work their population won't do for minimum wage that the migrants who have left used to do.

pillsbury37.bsky.social•11 days ago

I’m sure everyone would like to get paid more money. just ask

alisoncopeland.bsky.social•11 days ago

I'm sure they would, but business isn't offering

Unfortunately these MAGA republicans don’t seem to see Reagan as aspirational or an example to follow—Unlike say, Hitler—

ultranova13.bsky.social•12 days ago

Looks like another executive order is needed to declare Reagan a straw man that conservatives actually loathed.

fertygip.bsky.social•12 days ago

Reagan was all about making the rich richer at the expense of everyone else. He knew immigration could mean lower wages for corporations.

fertygip.bsky.social•12 days ago

He broke up unions and amnestied immigrant workers so they could have jobs and save corporations tons of money.....Reagan sucks. Oh he also stopped busting corporations who hired undocumented workers.
