Rush is correct, the left is flat-out lying. Reagan did not use an executive order to skirt Congress on the issue of immigration, but signed legislation on the subject passed by a Democratic Congress. To quote Rush: Reagan -- in fact, folks, Im almost speechless here as I prepare to explain to you just how big the left is distorting this. Ronald Reagan signed a piece of legislation. It was the Simpson-Mazzoli Act. It was 1986. Congress debated and passed a law to grant amnesty to three million illegal immigrants, and Reagan signed it. They are saying thats exactly what Obamas gonna do. They are claiming that Reagan signing legislation, thereby making it legal, is the same thing as an Obama executive order. It breathtaking what theyre trying to say here. Reagan had a statute behind him. The statute was called Simpson-Mazzoli. The very law that Reagan had signed was signed after it was passed by Congress. What Obama is about to do is write a law, or rewrite a statue all by himself. You think that Gruber was exaggerating? They do think youre stupid. They really do believe that you are stupid. They really believe that they can make you think that Reagan signing a piece of legislation is identical to Obama writing and signing an executive order. Well, Reagan did it. Well, technically Reagan granted amnesty, why are you complaining? Reagan granted amnesty, and George H. W. Bush, he granted amnesty, so Obamas not doing anything different. rushlimbaugh/daily/2014/11/19/democrats_and_drive_bys_distort_reagan_to_validate_obama_s_executive_order_on_amnesty
