Harry Reid lies to his constituents…
Sen. Harry Reid claimed in a March 2nd letter to constituents that he supports the E-Verify system.
But when the “stimulus” was being debated, Reid prevented any discussion of including the House-passed provision requiring use of the E-Verify system by contractors receiving stimulus money, which would have helped prevent illegals from getting these taxpayer-subsidized jobs.
In conference, he and Speaker Pelosi stripped out the House’s E-Verify provision. On Thursday, Reid stymied Sen. McConnell’s attempt to bring up an amendment to the FY-09 spending bill that would reauthorize E-Verify for 5 years.
So Reid lied to his constiuents, and has violated his oath of office yet again.
