Abstract

In a 1980 presidential debate, candidate Ronald Reagan made this comment: “Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems? Make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit. And then when they want to go back, they can go back. Open the borders both ways” (Lee 2015).
