Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list'

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in an interview published Tuesday that decriminalizing border crossings "is not something that should be at the top of the list" for 2020 Democrats.

“There are so many more important things to do,” the Nevada Democrat told Vice News, saying that the decriminalization of crossing the border illegally “should be way, way down at the bottom of the list.”

He added: “People want a fair immigration system. They don’t want an open-door invitation for everybody to come at once.”

“People want a fair immigration system. They don’t want an open-door invitation for everybody to come at once.”...

Yeah that didn’t work out well for the Romans.

On the one hand, shut up Harry.

On the other, thank you for exercising that nuclear option and giving Trump all these judicial nominees.

Wow...since Sen McCain passed away Sen Graham started acting like a real American (it is arguable that his outburst at the Kavanaugh nomination helped seal the deal) and now Dingy Harry sounds like a Republican.

I'm not saying McCain had a box of pictures, but it IS noteworthy.

It is shocking.

Maybe they were afraid of him. He was a little unhinged :)

Don’t fall for the McCain two-step that Flimsey Grahamnesty is doing.
He is STILL working on that amnesty he has tried THREE times to pass.

Harry just knows they can’t win in a general election if they go on talking like this. They are writing Trump’s campaign ads for him.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1987.

The wall is just one of many necessary adjustments we need to make.

The List goes like this -

1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership close to borders or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

Even the reprehensible Harry Reid knows more than the current Demagogic Party. Even the radicals will support Biden in 2020, knowing that it creates the alibi they need for a party purge by 2024 and a radical running against a non-incumbent.
