National Question: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/01/09/nyt-harry-reid-dropped-support-restricting-immigration-political-reasons/>
| In 2007, a year before former President Barack Obama was elected,
| Reid played a vital role in squashing former President George W.
| Bush's amnesty legislation -- adding to his decades-long resume as a
| populist politician that fought the excesses of immigration at the
| expense of working- and middle-class Americans.
|
| Years later, Reid changed his tune and denounced his former
| immigration positions.
|
| In a piece about Reid's passing and his political power within the
| Democrat Party, the Times admits that the former Senate Majority
| Leader's position on immigration changed solely for political
| purposes:
|
|| Mr. Reid took decidedly conservative stances early in his
|| career, notably opposing abortion and looser immigration laws. But
|| his positions shifted as the demographics of his state changed, and
|| he eventually became a champion of undocumented immigrants and a
|| supporter of abortion access. Mr. Obama said that after Mr. Reid
|| introduced legislation to repeal birthright citizenship, Mr. Reid's
|| wife, Landra, swayed him on immigration by reminding him that her
|| father had been a Russian immigrant. [Emphasis added]

Will Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy deliver more scab workers for
their Cheap Labor Lobby financers?
