Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in ’86, turning Cali blue forever.

From 1968 to 1988, California voted Republican in every presidential election but since 1992, it’s been blue and not even really close.

Now today, Trump’s walking it back, saying they want to find a way not to hurt farmers by taking away their labor. That’s not what I voted for. If he starts talking amnesty or some “easier path,” say goodbye to Texas too.

Truth

It will be the largest betrayal since Reagan gave them California.

Allowing them to stay is basically amnesty. This would give them the nation.

While not disagreeing with your post, I have a question:

All that construction you deal with, y'all don't
have any illegals? Just curious

Unfortunately he has been doing this alot.

1. Said Zelensky would have to Recognize Crimea and the 4 oblast and End the War. Zelensky told him no and he was OK with that, started to let Lindsey Graham be front and center on Ukraine

2. Had tough Tariffs on China which was the proper way to make China negotiate a deal quickly. Wall Street started selling and Trump could not tolerate Wall Street throwing a tantrum so he gave China a 90 day extension which will allow China to keep playing BS games with us.

3. Now we see him back peddling after the LA Riots on Illegal Immigration. Once again a little turmoil and he starts to change his tune


The bottom line is the Deepstate/Globalist know Trump's weakness. He does not like bad press coverage so anything they can do to try and give him that they will. Its better than the Alternative of open borders like before but hopefully he doesn't go full retard like Reagan did

Those illegals are already voting in California

California is left leaning thanks to white and black people. One could almost make an argument Trump could setup Vance to win CA with amnesty.

Reagan gave us gun control, immigration unfettered and runaway spending. He's not a hero of the right.

Reagan was such a gullible idiot to do that. It ruined us. Those 5 million have multiplied like bunnies and here we are.

Reagan trusted Tip O'Neal. You have to wonder how Reagan could have been so easily duped by a professional liar.

Reagan fell for a lying Democrat in Tip O' Neil. The Democrats never followed through on their promises.

Never trust a Democrat.

Reagan got sold a bill of goods on that immigration deal. It was supposed to offer amnesty in exchange for border security and restrictions on immigration. Probably seemed a reasonable compromise back in 1986. Of course the Democrats had no intention of ever honoring it.

So did it work that away when Reagan did it? How many legal Hispanics would it alienate that are opposed to these illegals?

I love the DVs, when presenting factual possibilities.

At the end of the day, we need strong borders to prevent undocumented influx. At the same time you have an opportunity to win over the largest growing part of American diversity. The blacks will forever be lost to the Democratic part, however over the last 50 years they have remained a consistent 11%-13% of the population. Meanwhile hispanics have grown from 5% to 18.7% of the population (census only). In the last election hispanic men went 55% for Trump. White men were 60% for Trump, while black men were just 21% for Trump.

Solidify the borders, but do not ignore the long game. Hispanics are very good conservative people.

Reagan's focus was bringing down the Soviet Union.

He never could imagine that R & D's both would sell out their country to a flood of illegals.

I don't think he sold out, I think he was blindsided by how evil the Globalists truly are.


Trump knows them and will call them out like Reagan never would.
