Scott Summner posted this beautiful telephone commutation betwixt Ronald Reagan together with George Bush Sr. on immigration. Direct link (youtube).
Scott titles the postal service "when the GOP nonetheless had unopen to decency," which I intend he should to a greater extent than accurately field every bit "when the ii leading GOP presidential candidates nonetheless had unopen to decency." There are many people inward the political party -- inward Congress, governors, field legislators, losing Presidential candidates, inward Republican intend tanks together with thus forth --with quite sensible ideas on immigration, together with amongst the variety of personal decency Scott notices inward the video, together with lacking of the presidential candidates today. There are also many decent together with sensible Democrats too.
In this era that the battles inside parties are every bit of import every bit those betwixt them, nosotros ask keep to endure out of the habit of tarring whole parties amongst the behaviors together with attitudes of unopen to people inward them.
Scott also characterizes the fence every bit "Bush stakes out a real liberal position on immigration, together with thus Reagan responds from a position fifty-fifty farther to the left.." That's non quite accurate either. While it's accurate that the "left" wants to allow "undocumented immigrants" access to schools together with services, they typically produce non desire to opened upwardly project markets. Both Bush together with Reagan explicitly welcomed people to come upwardly together with work. Letting people come upwardly together with non letting them endure is a recipe for disaster. These are straight off libertarian positions, non correct vs. left.
But I'm quibbling. Thanks Scott for a bully video.
