Via my colleague Doug’s Twitter Feed, this is unbelievable:

I’m not sure what astounds me more. The compassion and pragmatism in Reagan and Bush’s positions on illegal immigration, or the fact that they’re not speaking in talking points. Either way, it’s a sad reminder of what the Republican Party used to be.
