“Robinson says Reagan’s own diaries show the president found the idea of a militantly staffed border fence difficult to take. In a private meeting with then-President Jose Lopez Portillo of Mexico in 1979, Reagan wrote that he hoped to discuss how the United States and Mexico could make the border “something other than the location for a fence.”

Isn’t it sad that a Republican with that position on immigrants would never make it out of the primaries these days? I am not a fan of Reagan at all but I concede that he at least had a humanity on this subject that so many of them lack.
