Amnesty for Reagan

John Hawkins, on what the GOP needs:

Then there's the albatross around the Republican Party's neck, the guy in the White House, who has rushed out to assure everyone that he intends to continue to try to push his amnesty plan that's wildly unpopular with the base.

Obviously, what the American people want to see from the GOP is same principled conservatism that led to landslides for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984...

Would that be the same style conservatism that led to "amnesty" for illegal immigrants in 1986?
