[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3577683, member: 24302"] And he got amnesty for millions that many to this day disagree with. That encouraged people to keep coming. He was a saint, but he wasn't perfect. Just about every country on Earth protects jobs for it's own citizens. It's very difficult for a U.S. citizen to get a job in Latin America unless it's something that no one locally can do. But in the U.S. business owners want to pay as little as they can get away with so they're happy to see a constant stream of people come here who'll work for less. That doesn't help our citizens who are struggling to make the mortgage and car payment while feeding their kids. Another thing too. The 80's were a very different time. Globalization hadn't kicked in yet to the extent we have now. The economy was strong and workers were needed. From that standpoint I can see Reagan wanting to insure a strong economy with enough workers. [/QUOTE]
