OK, so I'm a little late on this one, but it's worth repeating for those of you who missed it:

About a week ago, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) while speaking on the floor of the Senate talked about the 12-million-or-more illegal aliens here in the USA as "undocumented Americans".

You can see it for yourself right here:

[I don't know what is more amazing, that someone as weasely (is that word?) as Harry Reid is Majority Leader of the United States Senate or that the opposition party (i.e. the Republicans) can't muster an obviously preferable alternative to such bad government.]

In any case, we must not let our government behave as if the millions of illegals are Americans simply by virtue of being here. It is a recipe for disaster for the country, with the only likely beneficiary being the Democratic Party who wants to create several million more people dependent on redistributing income, and getting them the right to vote for that redistribution.

I don't know what it will take for voters to toss people like Reid under the bus, but at the end of the day I suppose there's a lot of truth to the maxim that "people get the government they deserve." Unfortunately for us, Reid should be in the government of Mexico rather than in the USA since he seems more interested in serving people from outside our borders rather than citizens, with a special place in his heart for those here illegally.

Is it any surprise that Harry Reid's approval rating is now at 19%, substantially lower than our exceptionally unpopular President?
