Ronald Reagan: “I urge the people of the United States to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies.”

Rather than making them or talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition 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…

We have not come this far through lack of strength or any weakness in our resolve, nor has there been anything inevitable about what we've achieved.

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.
