Remember, he works for the government, not the people.
From the Washington Times.
The Obama administration overruled career Homeland Security officials and expedited visa applications for about two dozen foreign investors for a politically connected Las Vegas casino hotel after repeated pressure from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his staff, according to internal government documents obtained by The Washington Times.
The move to overturn what is normally a non-appealable visa decision came despite concerns about “suspicious financial activity” involving some of the visa applicants from Asia, and it ultimately benefited several companies whose executives have donated heavily in recent years to Democrats, the documents show. It also ensnared Obama’s current nominee to be the No. 2 Homeland Security official, Alejandro “Ali” Mayorkas, whose appointment is to be reviewed by the Senate on Wednesday.
“…applicants from Asia…donated heavily in recent years to Democrats…” Reminds me of Clinton’s Chinagate. As a mater of fact, Reid accepted donations from key Clinton Chinagate fundraiser John Huang – and later pushed for Senate confirmation of the judge who let Huang off with a slap on the wrist.
The intervention from Reid’s staff was so intense at one point a year ago that a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) official reported that it prompted a phone shouting match, turning a normally bureaucratic review process inside the Homeland Security Department into a politically charged drama that worried career officials.
In other words, if you don’t comply with Reid’s demands, you could pay a stiff price. The mafia would be proud.
Harry has quite a rap sheet.
He has ties to organized crime figures, ACORN, and corrupt leftwing billionaire George Soros.
He made a hefty profit selling land he no longer owned. The windfall came about because of legislative actions that Reid took regarding the Coyote Springs development project.
He received illegal campaign contributions from a Nevada political operative.
Reid is one of the most crooked, hypocritical, arrogant, race–baiting, immoral politicians in the Dem party; and that’s saying a lot.
