Does this sound better than "Build A Wall" ?


"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and see it still."

Now, that would be Ronald Reagan. But to dismiss the comment would be to commit a tu quoque or ecological fallacy and to dismiss a sentiment because of its provenance.

Trump with his walls, bans, dissing, and groping really is a hateful guy.

You want hate? Take a look at what your fellow DUmp monkeys post. Trump looks in charge and wants to get shit done.

Yeah,President Reagan really had millions of impoverished illegals in mind there.

A text out of context is a pretext.

Not that a Prog would give a @#$% about quoting Reagan dishonestly.

and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.

The doors in the walls that Reagan was referring to are legal entry points into the city and he was referring to anyone with the will and heart to go thru the proper doors and processes to get into the city.  He wasn't referring to people climbing over or tunneling under the walls to get into the city, DUmmy.
