Harry Reid said "we have something that is long overdue. We have an agreement to take care of this. Nelson Mandela will soon be 90 years old, in a matter of days. The old organization he was a member of decades ago--and he is probably still a member, but I am not too sure-- the African National Congress is still treated as a terrorist organization. This takes care of that. We will eliminate that. So the people coming here from that great country, which has done so well for so long now, will be able to come in without being considered terrorists." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
