Earnest T. PhD/THC asked:


I just had a beautiful conversation with a new client, who is a Polish Immigrant and now a citizen . I noticed his accent and his name and asked about being a Polish Immigrant . Anyways, he says he came here 10 years ago seeking better opportunity . . . . And Found It !!
I went on to ask what he thought about Lech Walesa from the Solidarity Movement . And he said they thank God for Lech Walesa, Pope John Paul, and Ronald Reagan !! He said it was because of those men, who came down on the Soviet Union all ‘all at once’ , they they have their Freedom Today .

So I guess this question has 2 parts . What do you think about Legal Immigration ?
and
Now do you understand what Conservatives try to explain about the great accomplishments of Ronald Reagan ?
And the Pope for that matter ?

trailblazer asked:


Ronald Reagan supported the Solidarity movement in Poland, which was a union that opposed communism. Lech Walesa, the head of Soliditary who undoubtably was one of the most major players in ending communism behind Pope John Paul II, says that without Ronald Reagan, the Polish people would not have their liberty. Poland has the highest favorable rating of America and political scientists seriously theorize it is because of American support for the Solidarity movement and that the Polish people still remember it. I think some people are fooling themselves in thinking Reagan had little to do with ending communism.
“As I say repeatedly, we owe so much to all those who supported us. Perhaps in the early years, we didn’t express enough gratitude. We were so busy introducing all the necessary economic and political reforms in our reborn country. Yet President Ronald Reagan must have realized what remarkable changes he brought to Poland, and indeed the rest of the world. And I hope he felt gratified. He should have.”
-Lech Walesa

Walesa said in his own words that Reagan helped end communism in an article he wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
