Reid plans to pass immigration reform measure this year

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he's committed to passing an immigration reform measure this year as the White House turns its attention to the issue.

The Nevada Democrat, who's in a tight re-election race with Republican Sharron Angle, could benefit politically from enacting a broad overhaul. He pushed for legislation in the spring to provide an eventual path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants in the U.S., but shelved the plan when other Democrats declined to jump on board.

President Barack Obama on Thursday tried to breath new life into the stalled immigration reform effort, and blamed the delay on the GOP. He says Republicans are giving in to the "pressures of
partisanship and election-year politics."

Obama also wants to create a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

Since everything seems to be politically motivated instead of what is good for AMERICANS we probably should have rubbed Nobrainers nose in it AFTER the Nov elections. If Nobrainer wants to get stuborn, he just might do an EO to pass it and go around congress to "show us" who's boss. After the election it might not be so easy.

"He says Republicans are giving in to the "pressures of

NO - they are realizing that they had better conform to the will of the people once in awhile and the people have had enough. If they persist in their insanity there will not be a nation left for them to govern and/or anybody who has any money at all will be fleeing the carnage on US soil.

you work for AMERICA not mexico, guatemala, el salvador or any other country. we know you have long been paid off by powerful lobbyists for just aobut every corporation, including your casino backers

I just heard the NRA is considering backing this old fart. I guess he promised Nevada a 61 million (?) shooting range.

Hey don't pick on our shooting range..pick on the NRA they are the ones that turn coated...among others...

the Republican Party for all their fanfare about support for Sharron Angle doesn't seem to be doing to much to get Sharron Angle elected in fact they are not countering the attacks by Reid at all..if they don't start soon he will get re-elected...

November - December. Count on it. The lameduck congress will be out for revenge at having been voted out of office.

WHo said I was "picking" on your shooting range? If I was there I'd probably be using it. However I don't see how ONE shooting range in one city in one state is reason enouigh to throw support behind this bastard, thus keeping him in office longer. Reid wants them legalized so bad, what do you think one of the first thing these democrat voters are going to do??? VOTE FOR MORE GUN RESTRICTIONS. Look at the big picture.

I do agree with you on Repubs not supporting Angle enough tho.
