Ronald Reagan signed the death warrant of the GOP when he signed the Immigration R.A.C. Act of 1986

Immigration R.A.C. Act of 1986.  Immigration Reform and Control Act.  

Reform?  I guess.  

Control?  Define control.  

Here is Reagan's love letter to Mexico and immigrants.  Come one and all and your government will look the other way.  To citizens, it says "This government doesn't give a rat's ass about your citizenship.  We will take every dollar from you until you are broke and don't even think about retiring because we've already looted social security.  There will be nothing left in it for you by the time you retire.  Oh, and BTW, you'll be paying for even more welfare programs that we haven't said a word about yet.  It's lipstick on the welfare state. 

"The torch of Lady Liberty symbolizes our freedom and represents our heritage, the compact with our parents, our grandparents, and our ancestors.  It is that Lady that gives us our great and special place in the world, for it's the great life force of each generation of new  Americans that guarantees America's triumph shall continue unsurpassed into the next century and beyond.  Other countries may seek to compete with us but in one vital area as a beacon of freedom and opportunity that draws the people of the world, no country on earth comes close.  This I believe is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.  We lead the world because unique among nations we draw our people our strength from every country and every corner of the world.  By doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation while other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams, we create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow.  Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier.  This quality is vital to our future as a nation.  If we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost."
