Sharron AngleSen. Harry Reid (D-NV)A political action committee favoring enforcement of U.S. immigration law is endorsing Harry Reid's opponent Sharron Angle in the Nevada Senate race.



Despite vicious personal attacks from Reid and his supporters, Republican candidate Sharron Angle remains in striking distance of the Senate majority leader as the general election draws closer. In fact the latest Rasmussen survey showed them in a dead heat with both at 48 percent.

On Wednesday Angle received the endorsement of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC. ALIPAC president William Gheen is angry that Reid recently announced plans to insert the "DREAM Act" into the Defense Authorization Bill in an attempt to give what amounts to amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants under the age of 30.

William Gheen (ALIPAC)Gheen argues Reid "wants to try to force politicians in Washington to choose between supporting our military or not and giving him an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens under 30 that could just claim and lie they were brought here as kids and...that they were going to college."

That is one reason why Gheen says ALIPAC is endorsing Reid's Republican opponent.

"Sharron Angle is putting out a commercial criticizing Senator Reid for his support for Social Security and other taxpayer benefits for illegal immigrants," says the ALIPAC spokesman. "We feel that Angle's new commercial -- combined with Reid's support for the DREAM Act amnesty -- will send his numbers beneath Sharron Angle's, and he will never recover by November 2.

But Gheen is concerned about how much damage Reid can do before the people of Nevada bring him home.
