Trump claimed: “Even President Ronald Reagan tried for 8 years to build a Border Wall, or Fence, and was unable to do so.”
Now for the truth:
"Rather than making them … we’re talking about putting up a fence. Why
don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it
possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then
while they’re working and earning here, they pay taxes here? And when
they want to go back, they can go back and they can cross. And open the
border both ways . . . " - Ronald Reagan
