Reid Prepares for Immigration Battle

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is moving full steam ahead with a politically tenuous strategy to pass comprehensive immigration reform this summer — with or without Republicans — in an effort to inspire Latino voters ahead of the midterm elections.

Reid caught many colleagues and activists off guard with his forceful stance on the need for reform this year during a speech at an immigration rally last weekend in his home state, where Hispanic voters will play a crucial role in his sagging re-election campaign. Reid held 38 percent of the vote compared with 46 percent for former Nevada GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden, his leading challenger, according to the latest poll.

“We are going to pass comprehensive immigration reform,â€

Any Democrat that ties themselves to the unelectable Harry Reid will be doomed in the next election. And any Republican who "crosses the aisle" to support this stupidity better buff up their resumes, as I don't think the American people standing in food lines are liable to forget treason.

I think this matter, with the three Republican senators you mentioned in a previous post, should be put out as a general alert on ALIPAC.

And what makes him think a majority of Latino American voters will support Democrats for this effort? Lies from the Wicked LaRaza Witch Janet? They are going to lose more votes overall than they gain.

Or maybe he thinks this will motivate Latino non-citizens to illegally vote for Democrats? That's the only way I can see this being a plus for Democrats.
