Reid hits back at Trump over birthright citizenship: 'He is profoundly wrong'
By Jordain Carney - 10/31/18 01:41 PM EDT
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Wednesday that President Trump's effort to nix birthright citizenship is "profoundly wrong" after the president singled out a 1993 speech from the former Democratic leader.
"This president wants to destroy not build, to stoke hatred instead of unify. He can tweet whatever he wants while he sits around watching TV, but he is profoundly wrong," Reid said in a statement.
Reid's statement comes after Trump named him in a Wednesday tweet in which the president argued that children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants are not protected by the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
"Harry Reid was right in 1993, before he and the Democrats went insane and started with the Open Borders (which brings massive Crime) “stuff.†Don’t forget the nasty term Anchor Babies. I will keep our Country safe. This case will be settled by the United States Supreme Court!" Trump said in his tweet.
