"Sometime a labor I would like to see legal, we're making illegal. We're doing two things. We're creating a society of really honorable, decent, loving people that are in violation of the law, and exacerbating relations with Mexico. -George Bush 1980
#Immigrants 🧵

They have a problem with 40-50% unemployment. Now this cannot continue without the possibility arising where can we have trouble below the border and we can have a hostile and strange neighbor to the south" -Ronald Regean 1980

As was customary in a time of intelligence they suggested solutions.
George Bush suggested improving relations as these were good, strong and caring people.
Reagen said "Rather than talking abojt putting up a fence, why dont we work out an understanding of our mutual problems"..

..."make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then while they're working and earning here they pay taxes. And then they can go back and we open the border both ways" -Ronald Regean

See? There was a time we disagreed how, but we DID want it to happen

This was a Republican Party that acknowledged that the overwhelming majority of people wanting to come here just want a viable option to feed their families. They acknowledged that eliminating legal avenues will only make them HAVE to come illegally, and we shouldn't want that

Take a moment to learn. Here these words, and then compare the intolerance, hatred and division born in 2016 from the same party...and condemn it.
