Spain's economy outperformed the United States last year.

Trump keeps threatening a trade war with Spain since they're still not spending 3% of GDP on war, but he keeps not following through on his threats.

Maybe Trump can organize some kind of Mariel Boatlift to Spain?

Trump should love Spain.

Spain has a King.

Trump would love to be a King.

I have often stated, illegal aliens should leave the Country.
But I have always added the caveat of the effect that upon the economy.
So, maybe, Spain has come to a similar determination?

This is what Reagan did in the 80s. Amnesty for a few million undocumented people here with no criminal record.

Republicans would shoot Reagan down like a rabid dog if he did that today.

"Hell, here in NC, we cant get state streets scraped of ice"

"At the end of Reagan's second term we gave amnesty to millions with the promise that the border would be secured."

Can I see that promise in the language of the bill?

Can I see the evidence that the border isn't secure?

Well that didn't happen and tens more millions are here illegally. No more. Fool me once ... .

Explain to us how the mere existence of undocumented people make you a fool.

And seeing as it was Republicans who fooled you, why are you rewarding Republicans with your support?

You know what actually is in Reagan's amnesty?

Stiff penalties for employers who hire illegals.

That's never been strenuously enforced, especially by Republicans, because it would be bad for business.

Why isn't ICE going after the employers?

I ask the of questions you aren't sufficiently intellectually curious to think of on your own.

So that's why you can't come up answers.

Republicans hate immigrants because they know immigrants are fundamentally decent, hardworking people.

Republicans hate immigrants because Republicans know in their hearts that immigrants are better people than Republicans.

Is there supposed to be an inflection point in that graph, or are you showing us the border is always open?

20 minutes using google can catch most folks up with the real knowledge level on this place regarding Reagan.

They might get a cursory understanding of the facts.

But they will never, ever be able to grasp the spirit

They will never be able to accept that their Republican grandparents and idols didn't always hate immigrants.

Excerpted from Ronald Reagan's farewell address:

I've been thinking a bit at that window. I've been reflecting on what the past 8 years have meant and mean. And the image that comes to mind like a refrain is a nautical one -- a small story about a big ship, and a refugee, and a sailor. It was back in the early eighties, at the height of the boat people. And the sailor was hard at work on the carrier Midway, which was patrolling the South China Sea. The sailor, like most American servicemen, was young, smart, and fiercely observant. The crew spied on the horizon a leaky little boat. And crammed inside were refugees from Indochina hoping to get to America. The Midway sent a small launch to bring them to the ship and safety. As the refugees made their way through the choppy seas, one spied the sailor on deck, and stood up, and called out to him. He yelled, ``Hello, American sailor. Hello, freedom man.''

A small moment with a big meaning, a moment the sailor, who wrote it in a letter, couldn't get out of his mind. And, when I saw it, neither could I. Because that's what it was to be an American in the 1980's. We stood, again, for freedom. I know we always have, but in the past few years the world again -- and in a way, we ourselves -- rediscovered it.
