Ronald Reagan: “Can you imagine the precedent that would be set if we all stepped back?”

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…

If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.

This is a great day.

It was a message of peace.
