was introduced for it to go it to full effect but duffing that time Reagan chose word carefully on the bill not to let on whether he was going to veto it or not. It was to protect our border but border protection has been a political debate for years. He also demonstrated an excellent political standpoint even before the vote had taking place on to veto the bill or not. Reagan helped positivity shaped society by proving to look over everything before he made a decision and being careful what he said in public and in interviews. Reagan did an amazing job keeping in mind what could happen if war broke out especially in texas and other states that share a border with mexico. Those states were eager to hear the final verdict and decide on their own if it was good or bad for them. The simpson-Mazzoli bill was and is a wonderful addition to help society function. Reagan held off on telling anyone what he had decided in his mind because if he had he might of impacted us in a negative way instead of a beneficial way for our country.

The people of the U.S should voice their opinions and not be scared of retaliation. Reagan was one of the few in history that said what he thought and meant what he said. I think this is what made him one of the most successful presidents in the U.S history. Reagan had a strong voice to influence others. That was what helped shape America into what Reagan hoped it might become in his time in office was that he had strong political views and standing up against the government was a great way of showing that.
