“Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care and other benefits often without paying any taxes. Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world,” Reid said.
The Nevada Democrat went on to say, “If making it easy to be an illegal alien is not enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? No sane country would do that, right? Guess again. If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. citizenship and guarantee full access to all public and social services this society provides. And that is a lot of services. Is it any wonder that two-thirds of the babies born at taxpayer expense in county-run hospitals in Los Angeles are born to illegal alien mothers?”


If this board was around in 93, rex, Decatur, cruiserhog, and toddy would be saying same thing

Don’t just stop at Reid. Both Clinton’s and other high ranking Dems made similar comments in the 90s

This was the position of most of the Democratic party back then, from everything I've read. I'm 31, so I wasn't huge into politics in '93.

It's also one of many reasons, why independents like myself, consider the Democratic party a joke nowadays. Not because they changed their position, I'm ok with politicians changing their mind, if only they'd admit to it. It's because of their current stance on illegal immigration, among many other things they stand for now that I disagree with.

Obama said essentially the same thing in '05.

I wish someone would create a website tagged with topics so that the hypocrisies of politicians could be pointed out as time crawls on. It would at least make for good entertainment, but maybe just maybe it would firm up their spine just a tad.

That was before they realized they needed more vote farms to replace their massive losses in Reagan-Trump democrats and white working class.
