RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN: Reid: How can Hispanics be Republican?

GOP blocking immigration reform, senator tells Latinos

By LAURA MYERS, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

U.S. Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday slammed Republicans for blocking comprehensive immigration reform and told Hispanics they shouldn't be treated differently because "their skin's a tone darker" than that of America's early European immigrants.

"I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK," Reid said, speaking to Latino supporters whose votes he needs to win re-election in November. "Do I need to say more?"

Reid's open frustration stems from what the Senate majority leader said is GOP refusal to support any Democratic plan that includes a path toward U.S. citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
