It's amazing how far the Republican Party has fallen.

Reagan played a part in that. If you can convince a party that some fellow Americans are “welfare queens” who are taking advantage of them, you can convince that party that non-Americans are taking advantage of American greatness.
Democrats should play that Reagan speech on social media and in television commercials. I'd enjoy watching Trump and Fox try to directly refute their idol's own words. Of course they would try, but it would be fun watching them make the attempt. And, yes, today's GOP would have been considered an extreme right fringe party in the 80s, even by people like Reagan. Although, I suspect that Reagan, whose "conservatism" was actually rather malleable, would probably have adjusted his rhetoric to suit the times.
To put Trump's $50K in perspective, the five main stars of Big Bang Theory make $900K per episode.
