Illegals Are Just Undocumented Americans

Here’s what Harry Reid says about immigration on his Web site:

While I am strongly opposed to illegal immigration and believe that our immigration laws should be strictly enforced, there is near-universal agreement that our system is broken and in need of reform.

He appears for the moment to acknowledge that there is such a thing as immigration that is illegal, and laws that prohibit such actions, right? Then what about this, posted on the Democratic Senate caucus Web page, at the bottom of a statement by the same Harry Reid:

This week, we will vote on cloture and final passage of a comprehensive bill that will strengthen border security, bring the 12 million undocumented Americans out of the shadows, and keep our economy strong. In the days ahead, we will work to improve the bill to protect and strengthen family ties while improving the structure of the temporary-worker program.

Undocumented Americans. It’s been up there since June 4, so Reid could have corrected it if he wanted to, but it’s still there — the latest Dem spin on immigration. They’re not really illegals, they’re just not quite yet Americans.

Amazing they can say that and still support late-term abortions. Let’s try it in Reid-speak: They’re not really humans, they’re just not quite born yet. Hmm. Doesn’t seem to work.

As Michelle Malkin (hat-tip) put this latest attempt to Mexicanize Dem voter registration,

The concept of American citizenship is dead. Sen. Harry Reid drove the final nail in the coffin with his floor statement yesterday, in which he referred to the 12 million illegal aliens currently in the U.S. as “12 million undocumented Americans.” I’ve heard a lot of stupid euphemisms for illegal aliens, but that one takes the cake.

Harry’s House Of Hypocrisy

Here’s the noble, green, oh-so-concerned about future generations Harry Reid, from his Web site:

I believe that global warming constitutes one of the greatest challenges of our time. … Our government must provide domestic and global leadership on this issue because we have a moral responsibility to leave future generations with a safe and habitable world. The President must build international support for global greenhouse gas reductions and work with Congress to increase U.S. efforts to do the same. I am hopeful that the Senate will again take up bipartisan legislation that will require mandatory reductions in our greenhouse gas emissions, and build upon the efforts of Fortune 500 companies and many state and local governments that have made significant reductions in their emissions. (emphasis added)

Wow! Harry must be really hot on this groovy little technology that generates electricity without the faintest wisp of greenhouse gas. You know, nuclear generating plants.

Nope. Prepare to enter Harry’s House of Hypocrisy:

The Energy Department unveiled legislation Tuesday to spur construction of a national nuclear waste dump in Nevada and increase its capacity. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., immediately vowed to block the bill.

That could spell more problems for the troubled Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump, already years behind schedule. …

The new bill is similar to legislation the Energy Department offered last year that didn’t advance. The political environment is even tougher for the measure this year now that Reid, an ardent Yucca Mountain opponent, is in charge of the Senate.

“This is just the department’s latest attempt to breathe life into this dying beast and it will fail,” Reid said. “I will continue to leverage my leadership position to prevent the dump from ever being built.” (AP)

Harry’s just playing to his constituents … every one of which will be 10,000 years in the grave as Yucca Mountain continues to just sit there. It’s got hard, cold facts and strenuous analysis on its, while its opponents have fearmongering, hysterical hype and runaway emotions on theirs. Guess which side the Senate’s leading Dem bellies up to?

Children, take note! If you want to grow up and serve America as a leader, use this man as a guidepost! Always remember to ask yourself, “What would Harry do?”

Then do the opposite.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
