After you get your Ukraine money, what is to stop you from ignoring or slow walking anything in that agreement that actually impedes the flow. Reagan trusted the dems in their "Amnesty Now, Security Later" deal but later never came.

Did Reagan regret amnesty?

The suggestion that Reagan regretted the amnesty law is not new. But previous versions of this story usually attribute the claim to his longtime friend Ed Meese, who served as Reagan's attorney general.

David Bier, now an immigration policy analyst with the libertarian Cato Institute, researched the matter in 2013 and concluded the former president's so-called regret was an "internet myth."

Bier quoted Reagan as suggesting in a 1980 candidates forum that it would be better to allow immigrants to come in and out of the country legally with work permits instead of "talking about putting up a fence."

"... It seems that Reagan would understand that his law failed to stop illegal immigration, not because we allowed people to stay, but because we refused to allow more to come — in his farewell address, he said he wanted an America 'open to anyone with the will and heart to get here,' " Bier wrote for the Daily Caller website. "That doesn’t sound like regret to me."

Perhaps it's because you treasure your horseshit Mike. It's not real, but it's warm, makes you feel good, but it smells so much you should be able to detect it. Enjoy your fence as your side strangles democracy.
