That is correct, past presidents essentially going back to maybe even JFK simply refused to do anything to protect America against what can only be described as an invasion and occupation. And in this, I definitely include the “conservative“ icon of Ronnie Reagan. It must be noted that Ronnie gave us the 2.5 million person amnesty back in 1986, with millions more of family members who followed on over the next 20 or so years,which was the Reagan – Kennedy amnesty. Let us never forget his role in the destruction of our country.
It's worth noting that for Reagan at least, that had to do with the Cold War. Many of those people were perceived rightly or wrongly as defectors from Communist regimes who would be staunchly pro-american.
That might apply to some of the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people from Central America, that Ronnie and his people let into the country as part ofIran-Contra and the Sandinista thing, but I don’t see that applying to the amnesty which was directly aimed at the massive number of migrants who came up over the decades and we’re working and living in the US.
But even in terms of the Sandinista thing, and Iran-Contra, the people making those decisions, if that was their motivation, they had to be total idiots, because even I knew better than that at the time, and there’s no one in the world more anti-communist than me. No one. And I won’t let any of them in, much less stay.
It’s clear that President Trump’s second term is kicking off with a bold approach to immigration enforcement, one that reveals how previous administrations avoided using the power they already had. As a political science professor raised in the South, I can’t help but notice how swiftly his team has exposed the extent to which Washington simply chose not to act for all those years. The widespread raids and direct dealings with foreign leaders show that, with enough backbone, the federal government can muster real pressure to protect our borders and get results fast.
All too often, past presidents and their agencies sidestepped the tough calls to avoid media firestorms or donor blowback. This neglect allowed criminals to stay in our communities, sowing fear and distrust across our country. By targeting the most dangerous offenders first, the administration not only removes immediate threats but also demonstrates that it can compel cooperation from foreign leaders who initially balk at taking back their own citizens.
Of course, such an aggressive approach won’t be neat or easy, and it’s bound to rile up opponents who view these deportations as cruel. Yet Trump’s first-week successes confirm that when a president is willing to wield the authority granted by law, he can set a new tone for national security. Folks all over America simply want to see the rules enforced and their communities made safe, and that’s exactly what this administration aims to deliver.

Yes. The american left excoriates administrations who essentially continued their own policies at a moderately lower velocity.
