1993 flip-flop: Sen. Reid introduced bill ‘clarifying’ birthright citizenship

For all the brouhaha over Republicans wanting to review the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, the citizenship/birthright clause, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, once supported revising the current interpretation of the birthright citizenship clause in 1993.

Mr. Reid introduced a bill to the Senate Judiciary Committee as the Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993. The bill, which died in committee after it was referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Affairs,  includes tough immigration provisions that would make many wonder where Mr. Reid truly stands on the immigration and border debate.

    Nice to see the Repubs not missing an opportunity to find the stupidest possible response that won’t do a damn thing to fix a ridiculously fabricated mess (the entire ‘anchor babies’ issue is one of the dumbest and most dishonest distortions of the immigration issue going these days). Then to find out that they’re 17 years behind Scary Harry on such lunacy. . .classic.

    Where do we go to apply for a totally fresh bunch of idiots to use the public office spaces in DC? The current bunch is getting really annoying.
