President Bush’s dedicated campaign to convert America into a safe haven for illegal aliens from Latin America, primarily Mexico, got a boost from a most likely source: Harry Reid, Filibuster and Obstructionist, US Senate.


Reacting to an immigration bill by Senate Leader Bill Frist, Reid had the following to say:


“If Leader Frist brings a bill to the floor that does not have the approval of the Judiciary Committee, it will not get out of the Senate,” Reid told reporters at the San Ysidro border crossing, a few steps from Tijuana, Mexico.


Reid said the overhaul must include heightened border enforcement, a “guest worker” program and a “path to citizenship” for the estimated 11 million people in the United States illegally.


Recall, please, this is the same Harry Reid who bragged “ We killed the Patriot Act,” a few weeks ago, before a compromise was reached. It should come as no surprise that a leftist goon so bitterly opposed to protecting the US homeland would also be a leading pro-illegal alien, anti-America advocate.


While Bush’s “Guest Worker Amnesty” is untenable, despicable and wrongheaded, at least the Bush doctrine is rooted mostly in trying to gift big business tycoons with below minimum-wage slaves.


Pure greed. No desire to remake America in the image of Caesar Chavez, best known for organizing nuts to pick grapes.


On the other hand, Harry Reid and the liberals are taking the sell-out of America to a new low. No longer able to win elections by appealing to real Americans, the leftists are keen on the idea of conscripting illegal aliens into the Democrat party base.


Illegal aliens seem a perfect fit, really, as a natural liberal constituency: To wit, the illegals are poor, uneducated peasants anxious to bleed the American public dry by stealing education, health care and other public services.


After all, rich “Gringos” can afford it, right?


To which Harry Reid and the Democrats eagerly reply: Welcome to America! Just register as a Democrat and we will take care of you and your family, and their family, and, if necessary, all of Mexico!


To Bush and Reid: The Mexican band has started to play YOUR song. Would the two of you care to dance?
