Reid described Obama’s immigration announcement as “great news for families in Nevada and across the country” in a Thursday night statement, adding that the president’s decision “will not only keep families together, it will enforce our immigration laws in a way that protects our national security and public safety.”

are RATS even capable of saying something that isn't a lie?

As long as the reid machine has the vegas unions in his pocket, doubtful that anything will change.

I really don’t give a damn what happens to nevada after what seems like 400 years of Reid.

Why do Mexicans abandon their families?

Sandoval, a Hispanic moderate, romped to reelection against token opposition with 70 percent of the vote. His coattails flipped the state legislature to the GOP and took out Rep. Steve Horsford (D-Nev.) in a heavily Democratic district that President Obama had won by 10 points in 2012. Sandoval is far and away the first choice among state Republicans looking for a credible candidate to challenge Reid.
Trouble is, he won't do it.

No. Not since 1972.

“great news for families in Nevada and across the country”

Your going to be out of work and crime will go up.

It is interesting how Nevada was where Obama chose to announce his EO plan.

Nevada was, at one time, a border state. There are some Mexicans who intend to take back land that once belonged to the Mexican government.

Sandoval sounds like maybe he would be a minor improvement on Reid. We might be better off with Reid to kick around in the minority.

Nevada is mostly a huge wasteland. There were never that many Mexicans living in this state before it was a state. If the immigrant population took over Nevada it would revert to the dried up cesspool that it always was.

Sandoval is a RINO.

“Trouble is, he won’t do it.”

Why would we want an R senator who is a moderate in favor of comprehensive immigration reform? That sounds like a net-negative. At least Reid doesn’t give “bipartisan” cover to bad laws. He just votes for the bad laws from the git go.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

Nevada was never under Mexican control, but it bumps up against land that was.

I personally think Obama was sending a message by making his announcement there: Mexicans have a right to California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico.

Many Mexicans have been taught that this land was “stolen” by the USA. Many students have been taught that in our public schools as well.

You’re right. I have been told by my former students from Mexico that they were taught that the American Southwest is Mexico stolen by the Americans. However, not one of them wanted it to become Mexico again. Unfortunately, there are plenty of others who do.

The ever affable hairy screed needs to GO>>>>>>>>>. Hard to say who might run but supposedly Gov Sandoval says he isn’t going to run. We’ll see next year when the big time lyin’ begins.
