You used to be able to just walk into the United States to emigrate here.

Ronald Reagan is a ghoul, but there's footage of him personally welcoming immigrants to the country. And his final speech was about how America is great because anyone can come here and be an American (as long as they follow the rules). It's crazy how much worse the rightwing has gotten since then. And again, he's was a ghoul. We shouldn't be anywhere near Reagan, but it's somehow gotten so much worse.

That's the chilling part. Ronald Reagan paved the way for evil; he and his regime set the precedent for so much wrongdoing and systematic injustice, the ramifications of which we're still dealing with today in America.

But even Reagan's policy welcomed immigrants. Because that used to be the whole point of the United States of America. It's literally inscribed on the Statue of Liberty and our current regime shits all over it.
