Reid is like all other Demoncrat politicians, they know the MSM won’t call them on their asinine statements. They’re so used to saying whatever foolish, self-serving thing they want that they’ve lost the ability to speak the truth regardless of the facts. Kind of like Hillary saying during the 2008 campaign that the Demoncrat party has always been the party of civil rights ...

Good point ... the Demoncrats don’t consider them “illegal” therefore his statement was true. They do love to parse words. Kind of like the definition of “is”.

Most Americans have no idea the scope and depth of the illegal alien situation. They work are system for everything it is worth. I have a friend who manages a government subsidized housing complex. He tells me at least 70% of the residents are illegals. Last week one of the tenants provided 3 different Social Security numbers to the complex managers. One number she said she used for her banking, another for her work, and the third for other services. She was very open about it too. A common trick they use is to add 4 digits to their Mexican driver’s license and use it as a Social Security number.

Your story makes little sense. Why would they run if they were legal?

Never heard of the Designated Decoy or other decoy stories, I guess.

This is a worse gaffe than Sue Lowden’s chicken bartering.
I honestly don’t see how Reid can survive after this.

Actually in Reno it has taken a weird twist. Most crews are now ALL illegal. The legit ones have been laid off since it is easier for them to get UE payments. Some rally twisted stuff.

” Most crews are now ALL illegal. “

By 2005, almost ALL of the crews in California and Arizona were illegals. The foreman was usually legal, and was bi-lingual. There were a few of us who refused to hire illegals, but we were the exception.

They were decoys. They knew that Immigration would go after whoever ran and ignore those who didn't.

Can you provide a source for this story, please? I'd try to google, but from your information I can't figure out what kind of keyword to use.

I'm the source for the story. I was there. See #38.

I know that there were newspaper stories about the Arrowhead Ranch at about the same time. The Goldwaters got in some hot water for the illegals that they had working, not because they were illegal but because they were sleeping in the orchards without facilities.

I saw #38. You are suggesting you know for a fact that those who fled were legal and those who did not weren’t. That implies you were some kind of official and would thus have documents proving your statements. Are you that kind of authority? If not, then you do need to point to actual texts. Otherwise, it’s just a story you are telling.

Sorry, I don’t want to be contentious, but this does not ring right. It could well be true, but so far it is just your personal testimony with no corroboration.

You're right, that's what it is. Take it or leave it. I didn't get affidavits from those involved and if I had I wouldn't provide them to some ignoramus on the internet.

I've told the same story on FR before. It was no dark secret what the workers did.

You are one dumbass.

I'll reserve judgment about that. Let's just say that you are not a sufficiently credible source for me to accept an incredible story. That makes me cautious. If that qualifies for the moniker you suggest, then you ought to inform Webster's.

Wow, here is this same story on Drudge via Politico this AM

When a television reporter told Sen. Harry Reid that a 2009 Pew Hispanic Center report found 17 percent of the nation’s construction workers were undocumented, he replied: 'That may be some place, but it’s not here in Nevada.'
