Senator Harry Reid's NEVER ENDING EFFORT TO EXPAND MEXICAN OCCUPATION

Senator Harry Reid's state of Nevada has one of the highest rates of unemployment, and also foreclosure. It is also now 25% ILLEGAL.

Harry Reid, highly unpopular in his Mexican occupied state, won't have the big bucks to run against a challenger unless he keeps selling out the American people to LA RAZA, and BIG GAMBLING INTERESTS that have long bankrolled this guy.

La Raza, "The Race" loves Reid has he recently handed over another $5 million of your tax dollars for their efforts to establish Mexican supremacy. Translate, get out the illegals's illegal votes.

There is a reason why HARRY REID and NANCY PELOSI, are listed in JUDICIAL WATCH'S TEN MOST CORRUPT.


Amnesty Bill This Year? White House, Congress Send Mixed Messages

Several officials and policymakers last week issued conflicting statements about the timing for "comprehensive immigration reform" — a euphemism for legislation that would grant amnesty to the approximately 12 million illegal aliens living in the United States. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Chuck Schumer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and President Obama all offered statements indicating varying levels of confidence as to whether Congress will pass an amnesty bill at some point this year.

On Monday, June 22, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to a question about the prospect of passing amnesty in 2009: "I can see the president's desire for it to happen but understanding that currently where we sit the math makes that real difficult." Gibbs went on to downplay the likelihood of any major immigration legislation making it to President Obama's desk before the end of 2009, noting only that he was hopeful that "later this year…we can have the beginning of a formal debate on [immigration]." (Roll Call, June 22, 2009).

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), however, offered up a radically different statement on the "math" concerning amnesty legislation. On Tuesday, Reid told reporters "we have the floor votes" to pass a bill this year, and implied that the only roadblock to passing amnesty in 2009 would be finding time to debate the legislation on the Senate floor. Senate Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-NY) echoed Reid's comments during a speech at Georgetown University on Wednesday, claiming that "all the fundamental building blocks are in place to pass comprehensive reform this session, and even possibly later this year." (Politico, June 24, 2009; Roll Call, June 24, 2009).

The convention of a twice-delayed amnesty summit at the White House on Thursday (See FAIR's Legislative Update, May 26, 2009 and Legislative Update, June 8, 2009) prompted several officials to comment on the prospects for amnesty in 2009. President Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told reporters Thursday morning that amnesty supporters do not have the votes to push "comprehensive immigration reform" through Congress: "If the votes were there, you wouldn't need to have the meeting. You could go to a roll call." (The Washington Post, June 25, 2009). Later that day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reiterated her support for amnesty, but added a caveat: "The plan has always been for the Senate to go first." (MarketWatch, June 25, 2009).

After his amnesty summit wrapped up, President Obama addressed reporters, and noted that his "administration is fully behind an effort to achieve comprehensive immigration reform." The president remained ambiguous, however, as to when the timing for consideration of an amnesty bill might occur: "We've got a responsible set of leaders sitting around the table who want to actively get something done and not put it off until a year, two years, three years, five years from now, but to start working on this thing right now." (Politico, June 25, 2009).
