Everybody is focused of this Harry Reid line.

Now let's set aside that it is racist and imbecilic -- we all know that both of those words apply to Harry Reid and most Democrat elected officials. After all, why else would they be members of the Party of the KKK and have gone to such lengths to honor a former KKK leader as the "Conscience of the Senate" upon his recent death? And the racist character of that statement is most clear when one considers what the pandemonium that would ensue if some GOP leader suggested that it is incomprehensible for a white person to vote Democrat. So I'm simply going to ignore the racism and stupidity of the Senate Majority leader as having been put on display for all to see, and comment no further.

No, the really scary comment is this older one, from back in April, which so many have overlooked:

"We're going to do immigration reform just like we did health care reform."

Got that? Harry Reid is planning to do "immigration reform" just like he did health care -- by getting his members to pass a bill they never read, containing provisions no one was told about, loaded with special provisions written as part of corrupt back room deals, and over the objection of an American electorate that is vehemently opposed to the entire legislative initiative in the first place. Oh, yeah -- and the Democrats are going to bankrupt the country in the process by adding even more crippling debt and deficits for future generations to pay. After all, all that is how they did health care reform.

There are many of us on the Republican side who are prepared to consider reasonable efforts to fix an immigration system that is broken. But we recognize that any "immigration reform" is a sham until the borders are secured and serious efforts are underway to expedite the removal of those who have already shown contempt for this nation by violating our immigration laws. We've learned the lessons taught by the failure of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, because we've seen that "amnesty before enforcement" proposals ultimately become "amnesty without enforcement" policies and only result in an exponential jump in illegal immigration.

Oh, and if Harry Reid wants to know how a Hispanic can vote Republican, he might want to talk to Brian Sandoval -- the guy who is on track to trounce Rory Reid (Harry's son) in the race for Governor of Nevada. Or Susana Martinez, who is going to be the next governor of New Mexico. Or John Sanchez, Maldonado's running mate for lieutenant governor. Or Marco Rubio. Or Raul Labrador. Or Abel Maldonado. Or any of the many other Hispanic candidate nominated by Republican primary voters around the country because of the content of their character and the quality of their ideas, not their ethnic heritage.
