The Reagan era saw many many immigrants.

The 2024 Republican Iowa Caucus is now history. Donald Trump scored a decisive victory, capturing 98 of 99 counties and winning 51 percent of the vote. Trump’s opponents — Nikki Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) — find themselves struggling to continue.
Haley jetted off to New Hampshire where she hopes to get enough support from independents to either win or finish a close second. DeSantis decamped to Haley’s home state of South Carolina hoping to appeal to that state’s evangelicals.
But the reality is that Donald Trump has an unshakeable base of support and is all but certain to be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee. As Donald Trump, Jr. bragged on Jan. 6, 2021, “This is Donald Trump’s Republican Party!”

Yeah. Other than Reagan's causing the collapse of the Soviet Union, Trump has been a lot more effective than Reagan.
They are simply holding up one respected man to prove Trump
isn’t. Boy are they pushing their luck.
Eisenhower was the man for his time. Trump is the man for
ours.
When Trump says something, foreign leaders heads swivel.
They know he doesn’t mince words. He tells them exactly
what his thoughts are, and lets them guess how he will
support them.
This is a man that fights for our nation. After 8.5
years of joining the public political arena, they know
he’s not a quitter.
He’s our dog in this hunt.
The Reagan era saw many many immigrants.
Yes, Ike was a famous General and very popular; SO very popular that both the Dem and GOP wanted the then President of Columbia University, IKE, to be their candidate for president.
Though Ike claimed to be neither Dem nor GOP, the GOP got him.
He was NOT a "great" president, as presidents go; but an okay one...sort of. Today, he's be known as a GOPe!
He NEVER defended or supported him, nor even was pleasant at all to his VEEP, Nixon and let the Dems, Commies, and PINKOs trash him. Neither did he want Nixon to be his VEEP...ever!
I could go on, but people need to learn more FACTUAL history, on their own and I hope that my post encourages at least some here to do so.
The "good times" under Ike, were mostly due to how that era was ( most of the rest of the world had suffered massive loss and destruction during WW II, so America came into superior status ); though yes, he DID send the damned ILLEGAL ALIEN BACK.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh....so YOU know the facts! Good for YOU!
Two things are funny in this piece.
Eisenhower warned against the rise of the military-industrial complex.
Eisenhower also implemented “Operation Wetback.” He had ships full of illegals loaded and ordered them sailed WAAAAY down the west coast of Mexico and then dumped onto the coast in remote areas. When the word got back, over a million Mexicans self-deported so they would not be stranded after deportation.
Yeah…we didnt need any of that in early 2020. LOL.
But…you have have your fantasies. Let’s see how long they last.
Watching Yon right now.
Not every person of draft age, goes into the military.
Plenty of men don’t. I don’t care if he got a deferment
due to bone spurs.
Some people contribute by training, entering the military,
and leading as a five star general. Other persons can
contribute in other ways, and I’d say Trump is at the
right time at the precise location we need him.
Would it be better if he had been killed on the
battlefield? Who would you suggest we pick to lead our
cause right now, if not for Trump?
Cheap shots are for losers.
This guy has a woodie for Biden. He has no business giving Republicans advice.
One might recall that the GOP lost seats in Congress with each election following Eisenhower’s inauguration. The GOP could use a leader like that. Maybe Ronna McDaniel can be our new Eisenhower.
I agree.
Too many things that got papered over by the media during the Eisenhower administration.
Just read “American Betrayal” by Diana West.
Changed my perspective.
The leftist a-holes at The Hill would hate Ike.
Ike took on the illegal alien problem by initiating the government program called “Operation Wetback” and appointed one of his old army buddy to lead it. They rounded up tons of them and many illegals self deported.
Eisenhower the Moderate for sure but at the end of his Presidency Eisenhower saw the Military Industrial Complex coming an MIC that is anything but Moderate with taxpayer dollars and our national debt.
Ronald Reagan came into the GOP from the Democrats during the Eisenhower Years admired Ike but didn’t pick up enough perhaps on that MIC notion.
The Republican Party has its Eisenhower in Trump - they just don’t want to see it.
Eisenhower took the opportunity of his farewell address to warn us that the greatest danger we face is from within - an unelected and unaccountable Administrative State. The Military Industrial Complex. The Deep State.
Know the measure of a man by the enemies he attracts.
And who has attracted better enemies than President Trump? The very same enemies that Eisenhower warned us about 63 years ago.
If Republicans really want to heed Ike’s warning, they need to stop this nonsense and embrace Trump - follow him into battle against the Military Industrial Complex.
“Eisenhower didn’t sit out WWII because of “bone spurs.””
Eisenhower didn’t have “bone spurs.”
What the party doesn’t need are liberals like those at The Hill telling us who we should have in our party, we don’t want an Obama or a Hillary.
Communist claptrap, those who would vote for Biden deserve Biden.
Foreign policy was controlled by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and CIA Director Allen Dulles.
The Deep State predates WW II.
