[QUOTE="Thomas More, post: 1214902, member: 8402"] Back when Reagan was president, our current concern with native born Americans was not an issue. People were opposed to illegal immigration, but the context was much different. Almost nobody in that era foresaw the way the white percentage of the population would plummet in the near future, with all the leftists celebrating the rapid transition of the US into a non-white, non-christian country. Even the idea of neo-conservatives didn't exist. You can trace the roots of the neo-conservative movement in that era, but it didn't exist at that time. Reagan was concerned with rolling back the New Deal and the Great Society, and with winning the Cold War. We don't think in these terms now, because he succeeded. We look back at Reagan now, and see the roots of our current problems, but they weren't really perceived at the time. He was fighting the battles of that time, and couldn't have foreseen how much things would change. Heck, the Cold War didn't even end until after he left office. [/QUOTE]
