In an interview today on Univision, Harry Reid was asked if Obama has a Hispanic problem considering that he has deported more illegal aliens than any other president and that he failed to keep his promise to present an immigration proposal in his first year. Harry Reid vilified Republicans as anti-Hispanic and said that because of Republican policies, Obama is doing well with Hispanics. He also said that Obama is about to do more to help the ‘Dreamers’ administratively:
Well, Jorge, the polls, because of what the Republicans have done on wide-ranging issues to be anti-hispanic, the polls show Democrats leading by significant numbers including President Obama. President Obama is not a perfect man, he hasn’t been a perfect president. He’s been a very very good president. And we’ve done some extremely good things, especially as it relates to the dreamers to make sure they are not taken away in the middle of the night. There’s a lot more than can be done. There’s more the president is going to do administratively and that should happen fairly quickly.
Sounds like Obama has plans to bypass Congress again to gain more of the Hispanic vote for November. Ugh.
Reid was then asked about Arpaio and lashed out at the Sheriff, saying he should never have been elected and that he relishes in being a ‘Hispanic Basher’:
Well first of all he should never have been elected and should he quit? The answer is yes. This is a man who is demonstrably one of the most unfair people I have ever dealt with in government. It’s too bad he’s done what he’s done. But he relishes in being a hispanic basher, and that’s really too bad.
