From the Rush Limbaugh website:

Let’s go to the audio sound bites. You’ll see what I’m talking about here. Last night and this morning we have a little montage of how the left all of a sudden is once again in love with Ronaldus Magnus.

BECKEL: Ronald Reagan did exactly the same thing.

BEGALA: Presidents Reagan and Bush issued executive orders on immigration.

REID: Every president, 39 different times, Reagan, Bush.

KOSINSKI: Reagan allowed legalization for three million immigrants.

O’REILLY: President Reagan also took executive action allowing some illegals to stay in this country.

CUELLAR: A very eerie way when President Reagan was the president, he then took the executive order.

CATANESE: Pointing out to actions by two former Republican presidents, presidents Reagan and President George H. W. Bush.

RUSH: Okay. So you want to know who was in there? You want to hear the names? I think you should. The first up was Bob Beckel, and then The Forehead, Paul Begala, and then Dingy Harry, and then Michelle Kosinski, whoever that is, and then O’Reilly. O’Reilly said President Reagan also took executive action allowing some illegals to stay. He did not. Reagan never took executive action. This is a bald-faced flat-out lie. Not that it’s gonna matter to anybody. But you know us here; we’re concerned with the truth. Henry Cuellar, David Catanese. Those are the people in the sound bite that you just heard…

…I’m almost speechless here as I prepare to explain to you just how big the left is distorting this. Ronald Reagan signed a piece of legislation. It was the Simpson-Mazzoli Act. It was 1986. Congress debated and passed a law to grant amnesty to three million illegal immigrants, and Reagan signed it. They are saying that’s exactly what Obama’s gonna do. They are claiming that Reagan signing legislation, thereby making it legal, is the same thing as an Obama executive order. It breathtaking what they’re trying to say here.

Reagan had a statute behind him. The statute was called Simpson-Mazzoli. The very law that Reagan had signed was signed after it was passed by Congress. What Obama is about to do is write a law, or rewrite a statue all by himself.
