Reagan wasn't God, or even his son. He made mistakes, but he was still the greatest President in the last several generations. Let's not confuse great and perfect. Reagan was great, only Roger Staubach was perfect ;)

Reagan did give amnesty to millions of illegals. It was supposed to be a one shot deal, a compromise where in return for amnesty we would get toughened border protection and improved enforcement to the point that we would never have that many illegals here again.

Of course, as with most compromises, the liberals won. They got the amnesty they wanted for the illegals, but the borders stayed as lax as ever, and even more illegals have now flooded in.

Yep. Raised taxes TWICE, too.
