“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski says she was brought to tears Friday after watching a clip of former President Ronald Reagan discuss immigration in America.
“Morning Joe” opened the show by playing two clips. One was of Laura Ingraham discussing demographic changes in America and the other was Reagan saying, “You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.”
“So nearly 30 years separate those moments, Joe, but, I mean, watching Ronald Reagan speak that way actually brings me to tears right now,” Brzezinski said. “Especially seeing the way Laura Ingraham really tried to encapsulate are vision of America right before that. It is one beautiful outlook of how we have become this beautiful country, versus something very trashy, very ugly, and very sad.”
“Well, Ronald Reagan is so uplifting, because, as Ronald Reagan always — he had this beautiful talent to reconnect us with who we were,” Scarborough replied.
Scarborough claimed America has “fallen short” over the years, but said the country should get back to the values of Reagan and be a beacon for all immigrants who want to come here.

“To remind us that, about that dream that was and that is America. And even when we fall short and we have fallen short so many times through the years, it’s that dream,” he continued.
“The dream that all men, all women are created equal and also that dream that you can go to France, but you can’t become a Frenchmen. You can go to Germany, but you can’t become a German. You can come to America, and as General Hayden said, it’s pretty simple. You read the document, you understand the document, you pledge allegiance to the document, and we shake your hand. And you are every bit as much of an American as me and other people who have been here for 400 years.”
Scarborough then singled out President Donald Trump and talk radio hosts, before lumping the president’s supporters in with white supremacists.
“Just like that. That’s the magic of America, and guess what? No president, no radio talk show host, no white supremacist in Virginia can ever change that,” Scarborough concluded.

Go cry crazy broad. Did you not keep the Hillary crying rooms.? Most churches have one .
Hey JOE, who did they find dead in your office?
Here’s news flash you two commies…….
Reagan made it clear that they became AMERICANS.
Not MEXICAN-Americans.
Not AFRICAN-Americans
Just plain Americans.
I’d add another small bit to those two clips on imigration…….This one from Teddy Roosevelt.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American … There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Spare us the crocodile tears you morons.
Reagan did not mean jump a wall, come in on a plane or bus paid for by the left……he meant you can take the steps to do it legally. Left always spewing, skewing, twisting and turning it into diluting the culture to divide and conquer our country to turn it into a NWO communist/socialist chit hole.
“…anyone… can come to live in America and become an American.”
Unfortunately, too many immigrants come to America but do not become Americans. What’s more, when diehard Democrats go to President Reagan’s speeches to support their “opinions,” does this mean they are becoming more conservative? Is this indicative of a winning situation???
Let’s make this clear….walking across our borders does not make you an American. You MUST go through a process LEGALLY!
These two morons are forgetting one thing. Reagan was speaking about “legal” immigrants.
yeah Gio…they always seem to forget the difference between “legal” and “illegal”
EXACTLY…””You read the document, you understand the document, you pledge allegiance to the document””….. but that doesn’t fit their agenda so they leave that part out… Illegal means JUST THAT ….PERIOD….
