Harry Reid lies to his constituents…

leave a comment »

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.
