Harry Reid – 1993 Immigration Stabilization Act Speech

Before the scrawny ex-boxer, Harry Reid, was horse-collared into a room and told in no uncertain terms to shut the hell up, because the route to more power in America was by bribing for votes, he sung an entirely different tune.

From Thomas Sowell  (NRO)

In 1993, Senator Reid introduced a bill — the Immigration Stabilization Act — to cut back on all immigration, both legal and illegal.

Senator Reid said: “Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care and other benefits, often without paying taxes.” He said, “Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance.” He added: “These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world.”

Today, of course, Senator Reid is singing an entirely different tune. He has what Thorstein Veblen once called a “versatility of convictions.” So do a lot of “experienced” politicians.

  1. I haven’t heard of any illegals being transported to Nevada. I’m wondering if he STILL feels this way but doesn’t want to say it out loud to the fellow progtards?

  2. Ann Barnhardt has been saying for years that they are ALL WHORES AND PSYCHOPATHS.

    I would like nothing more than disagree with her, but I can’t. If I did, I’d be lying to myself.

    They are all opportunists at our expense – even Ted Cruz and Trey Gowdy.

    I weep for my country.
