MAGAs and other right-wingers richly deserve to be reminded that there was a time when the US welcomed immigrants from many countries, rich and poor alike, and wasn’t fixated on their ethnicity or religion.

Your quote wasn’t from some “Commie-Lib” left-wing quasi-socialist, but from Ronald Reagan, a conservative Republican with a vision and a talent for inspiring and motivating people. If MAGAs and other right-wingers wish to forget what Reagan stood for besides beating up on liberals and honest-to-gosh genuine (As in Marxist-Leninist) Commies, Tough kibbles. And if the words make them squirm, so much the better.
