Harry Reid Makes Last Desperate Appeal For Illegal Alien Vote

He's losing the citizen vote, so why not try to win the Chicago Way? What he and most liberals don't seem capable of grasping is that not even Hispanics are wholly in favor of pandering to illegals aliens.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid over the weekend promised to force the Senate to vote on an immigration bill, the Dream Act, in a lame-duck session of Congress this month.

Mr. Reid, a Nevada Democrat who is in a desperate battle to keep his Senate seat, told Univision's "Al Punto," a Sunday political talk show, that he has the right as majority leader to decide what legislation reaches the floor, and said he is "a believer in needing to do something" on immigration.

In doing so, he elevated immigration to join jobs, spending and tax cuts — the issues most lawmakers expect to dominate Congress when they reconvene in November.
