Reid: Immigration Vote A Defeat For The American People, A Victory For Status Quo
He became a major backer of the hotly debated comprehensive immigration reform act known as the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.
May 18, 2006,
Reid opposed a Constitutional amendment to make English the national language of the United States, calling the proposal "racist."
1993,
Reid reportedly said, "Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care and other benefits without paying taxes. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world."
Nov 1, 2005, Reid moved that the Senate go into closed session. The public was removed from the Senate chambers.
Reid called Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas an "embarrassment"
Reid referred to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan as a "political hack."
Reid voted to authorize military force in Iraq in 1991 and 2003.
Reid is a firm opponent of the Yucca Mountain federal nuclear waste repository, and is quoted as saying that the concept of which "is dead. It'll never happen."
Reid earmarked a spending bill to provide for building a bridge between Nevada and Arizona that would make land he owned more valuable. Reid called funding for construction of a bridge over the Colorado River, among other projects, 'incredibly good news for Nevada' in a news release after passage of the 2005 transportation bill. He owned 160 acres of land several miles from proposed bridge site in Arizona and that the bridge could add value to his real estate investment."
In the wake of the 2006 corruptions conviction of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, media criticism led over four dozen Congressmen, to return campaign donations associated with Abramoff. According to an article in the Las Vegas Review Journal on Feb. 03, 2006, "The National Republican Senatorial Committee this week revived a charge that Reid received more than $50,000 from four tribes with gaming interests between 2001 and 2004 after they hired Abramoff. The Nevadan had received no money from those tribes before then, Republicans said." John Solomon, a reporter for the Associated Press, examined this charge as well as other charges against Reid in a series of articles for AP. A spokesman said that Reid had never met Abramoff personally, that neither Reid nor his campaign has ever received money directly from Abramoff.
On October 17, 2006, John Solomon of the Associated Press reported that Reid had used campaign donations to pay for $3,300 in Christmas gifts to the staff at the condominium where he resides. Federal election law prohibits candidates from using political donations for personal use.
On October 11, 2006, John Solomon reported that Harry Reid's member interest in limited liability company (LLC) was allocated $1.1 million of the gross proceeds attributable to the sale of a parcel of land. In 1998, Reid bought a plot of land for $400,000, fair market value at the time. One of the sellers was a developer who arranged a land swap that Reid supported. In 2001, he transferred title of the land to the LLC. When the LLC sold the land Reid made a profit. The LLC was formed by long-time friend and former casino attorney Brown. failure to disclose the change in the form of his asset holdings upon contribution to the LLC violates Senate rules.
On October 17, 2006, AP reported that Reid had used campaign donations to pay for $3,300 in Christmas gifts to the staff at the condominium where he resides althought Federal election law prohibits candidates from using political donations for personal use.
On November 16, 2004, Reid was elected Senate Democratic Leader and Minority Leader for the 109th Congress, following Daschle's defeat in his bid for reelection to the Senate.
