It’s ridiculous how far right the USA has moved when it comes to immigration.
Agreed, and I think maybe we should remove the plaque from the Statue of Liberty as it clearly no longer applies.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Reagan was an idiot about a lot of things. His policies were often at odds with his rhetoric which was quite progressive for its time and place. If you listened to him though, he was not openly hostile to immigration. Neither him nor H.W. where on the scale of today’s right.
Of course Reagan meant [white] immigrants.

I really think the right of the 80s/90s is way different than todays right.
Woah your saying the right is suddenly anti-immigration now? That is really nonsensical and ignores a lot of history.
Clearly they aren’t sending their best.
