Reagan had complete opposite views on borders/immigration.
I do have to give Reagan the benefit of the doubt. It is hard to tell Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin wall and support our own wall at the same time
Go look at what he did with FOPA, though. He signed it even with the poison pill tacked on at the last minute. There’s other things I’m still not all that happy with Reagan about - like the Mulford Act that banned open carry in California.
With all respect, there was a huge difference between Reagan’s call to Gorbachev and Trump’s call for a wall. Gorbachev was keeping the East German population IN, Trump wants to keep the flood of illegals from Central America OUT.
Amazed you don't know the difference.
Nonsensical comparison. The Berlin Wall was built to divide a country, to keep people from leaving East Berlin. The wall between the USA and Mexico will protect our national sovereignty from invaders.
“I do have to give Reagan the benefit of the doubt. It is hard to tell Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin wall and support our own wall at the same time”
Do you walk to work or carry your lunch?
Two entirely different scenarios. The Berlin Wall was erected to keep people from fleeing communist slavery. The Trump wall will keep the middle class from becoming slaves to the NWO.
The two walls have totally different purposes. The Berlin Wall was to keep an oppressed population in. The border wall is to keep illegal aliens out.
An East Berliner could not enter West Berlin.
A Mexican will still be free to enter the United States at the ports of entry.
It's hard to believe a FReeper would make such an asinine comparison; on the level of "marriage = rape" asinine.
Some walls are meant to keep people in. Others are meant to keep people out.
You can’t compare the two walls because they serves two entirely different purposes. It would be like comparing oranges with tennis balls.
Gorbachev’s wall was to keep people in. Big difference.
