Strongly agree

Yes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country

Reagan was a proponent of human rights and would likely agree with the idea of ensuring safety for deported individuals. However, his strong stance on law and order might lead him to prioritize the safety of American citizens over the deported individuals, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree

No, only if they have entered the country illegally

Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986, which granted amnesty to certain illegal immigrants but also increased border security and penalties for illegal immigration. This suggests that he might agree with this statement to some extent, but not fully as it only applies to those who entered illegally.
