During the Nevada U.S. Senate campaign, incumbent Senator Harry Reid repeatedly told Nevada Hispanics to register to vote, then re-elect him in order for the Dream Act to pass.
However, Reid never told his new found voters that he had full knowledge that the Dream Act had no chance of passing even in a Democratic controlled Senate and Congress.
While Harry Reid desperately campaigned for reelection in Nevada, he promised immigration activists that he would bring the Dream Act to the Senate floor for a vote this year, but he did not promise it would pass.
His new found supporters were being duped.
