Ronald Reagan (R.I.P., May God Bless his Soul) a man of great faith was the last President to grant amnesty to undocumented workers in the USA. Although, you won't hear that mentioned very much by Lou Dobbs. He hardly ever mentions Ronald Reagan, however you will hear him use the word amnesty quite frequently. In fact it is the most often used word on his show other than "a", "the", and "it". But what really is amnesty? In the times of Jesus it was known as mercy. If you read the bible you will see Jesus was very much in favor of mercy. If you listen to Lou Dobbs you will see Dobbs is very much against it. A truly great american, Abraham Lincoln on the subject of mercy once said, "I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice."
So what do you think the undocumented deserve for running across our border, mercy or justice?
But before you answer that question ask yourself.... what would Reagan, Jesus and Lincoln do?

Ronald Reagan did a lot of things that neither he nor the American people should be proud of.
As Sidney Blumenthal wrote in The Guardian in 2003:
Reagan opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (calling it "humiliating to the South"), and ran for governor of California in 1966 promising to wipe the Fair Housing Act off the books. "If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes or others in selling or renting his house," he said, "he has a right to do so." After the Republican convention in 1980, Reagan traveled to the county fair in Neshoba, Mississippi, where, in 1964, three Freedom Riders had been slain by the Ku Klux Klan. Before an all-white crowd of tens of thousands, Reagan declared: "I believe in states' rights."
Ronald Reagan deserved to die the way he did, not knowing if he was poor or rich, black or white. Granting Amnesty does not make him great. Between his voting record and Iran-Contra, he should not only have never been elected president, he should have been impeached.
