Reid Receives Award for Support of Mexican American Community
Thursday, May 31, 2007


Las Vegas, NV - U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada received an award today from the Mexican Government, in recognition of his efforts to bring a Mexican consulate office to the area.
I recognize the important role and significance of having a Mexican Consulate office in Clark County," said Reid. "The Consul plays an important role in providing valuable information and services to the Mexican community. Before the Consulate opened, people in Clark County who sought Mexican consular services had to travel four hours to San Bernadino. I'm glad that I was able to help the Mexican Community fill that need."
"His [Reid's] support to Consul Berenice Rendón in opening the Mexican Consulate in Las Vegas was fundamental," said Consul Mariano Lemus Gas. "...The Mexican Consulate believes that Senator Harry Reid deserves recognition for his contribution to the opening of this office."
Reid and his staff worked closely with the Mexican Embassy to help bring the Consulate Office to Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Consulate Office, which officially opened in February 2002, was the 47th to open in the United States. In 2005, Consul Mariano Lemus Gas was assigned to the Las Vegas office.
The Consulate Office provides many services to the Mexican American Community including:
Information about requirements for traveling to Mexico Helping Mexican Nationals obtain consular identification cards Issuing Mexican Nationals passports Educating business people about travel and trade between the United States and Mexico Arranges for the return to Mexico of those who have died in the United States Helps with reunification of separated families Protects labor rights and helps recover back wages Promotes government programs such as education, health, and social development for those participating in the Institute for Mexicans Living Abroad
Reid is committed to fighting for the Hispanic communities in Nevada. Reid has voted to raise the minimum wage; he supports tough and fair immigration reform; and he is working to ensure that states don't run out of money for children's health programs.
During today's ceremony, Reid joined Consul Gas to present the Ohtli Award to Pricilla Rocha and Araceli Paredes for their efforts to strengthen the community.

Well, isn't that special.

What was the medal? It must have been THE ORDER OF THE CONGENITAL EUNUCH.

You know, now you've got me wondering about the medal thing. I may have misspoke and meant award, but it seems there was a picture of him and that crowd in the report. I found this report in Harry's website if anyone wants to look at the photo.

This is what happens when someone betrays his country and aids another one. I would not want to be in Harry's shoes right now. The guilt is bound to set in before he dies of old age. I doubt his last nights will be full of sleep.

From what I understand, Harry had a rough upbringing--not much in the way of stability, I think. I think his mom raised him. I believe this man is rebelling against something tied to his childhood and that rebellion is stabbing our country in the back. He reminds me of the kid who was bullied all through school.

Mexico's honorable 'Sucker of the Year' award was given to Harry. Harry, I hope you sleep with it under your pillow every night for the rest of your life.

A fellow, in the know, in Nevada once told me that old Harry Reid used to be a strongly anti-illegal alien sort of guy. Apparently Harry's wife experienced some sort of epiphany and convinced Harry to do a 180 on the subject.

Good! Cause I highly doubt he's going to be receiving one from Americans

Haven't you heard, that's how the enemy brings OUR elected representatives tighter into their fold. Didn't Sen. Graham recently receive an award from La Raza? Heck, my representative, Rep. David Price, received an award from a Latino special interest group too. Check it out:
