Ronald Reagan, while debating rival presidential candidate George H.W. Bush in 1980, had this to say about our southern border:
“Rather than … talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems and make it possible for them to come here legally, with a work permit, and then while they are working and earning here, they pay taxes here? And when they want to go back, they can go back, and they can cross. And open the border both ways, by understanding their problems.”
