Of course Reagan meant [white] immigrants.
Agreed, and I think maybe we should remove the plaque from the Statue of Liberty as it clearly no longer applies.
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.

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.
