Correct me if I'm wrong here, but he could've vetoed it...right? In the past several weeks, I've seen a ton of posts hypothesizing why DJT pushed the COVID vaccines, and for the most part I agree that it was done to save us from a mandated vaccine. What's Reagan's excuse though? He seems to be impervious to criticism when you ask most conservatives, and it doesn't make much sense. The NCVIA of 1986 eliminated pharmaceutical liability with childhood vaccines, which IMO is a criminal act, if not an act of treason. Are we to assume that Reagan simply didn't read the bill?? Should we consider rethinking his place in history? I'll admit Reagan did a lot of good as president, but this particular piece of legislation is troubling to say the least.

There's what you describe and there's also this: The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA or the Simpson–Mazzoli Act) was passed by the 99th United States Congress and signed into law by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on November 6, 1986, the beginning of the illegal alien problem.
All that said, I'm of the opinion that Reagan did the best he could for the time he was in and with his understanding of things based on the era he grew up in. When you consider that JFK was shot and killed for his efforts against the DS and what Trump has been up against even with all the assistance he's had, it's a wonder Reagan was able to accomplish as much as he did. And also remember this, the DS attempted to kill Reagan, so they didn't like him either.
