Silver Staters Spar on Border, Economy

Watch Reid and Angle go at it -- personally and on policy -- on immigration and jobs.

Immigration:

Moderator (paraphrased): In a television ad, you claim Senator Reid voted to give illegal aliens Social Security benefits and tax breaks. "Would you like to denounce the ad … or give voters documented evidence about its accuracy?"

Angle: "Not at all, I'm glad to give voters the opportunity to see that Harry Reid has voted to give Social Security to illegal aliens."

Reid: "Mitch, my opponent didn't answer the question ... everything she has said in that ad is false. It's not true. I've never voted for tax breaks for people who are here that are illegal. I have never voted for Social Security benefits…That is not the law in this country. She knows it and she should stop saying it."

Jobs:

Moderator (paraphrased): Do you believe that getting jobs for Nevadans is not your job?

Angle :"I believe that my job is to create the policies that will encourage the private sector to do what they do best and that is to create jobs."

Reid: "My job is to create jobs. What's she's talking about is extreme. We have to do this, we've been doing it since Boulder Dam was created 81 years ago."
