Hillary Clinton: GOP Immigration Bill Would 'Criminalize Jesus'
2006-03-23
2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is blasting a GOP-backed immigration bill, claiming bizarrely that the legislation would "literally criminalize . . . . probably even Jesus himself." Clinton invoked the biblical theme on Wednesday while restating her opposition to a bill sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner that would make illegally entering the U.S. a felony.
Be careful, Hillary. Separation of church and state and all that.
Surrounded by what the Associated Press described as "a multicultural coalition of New York immigration advocates," the former first lady ripped the GOP bill as "mean-spirited" - insisting that it flew in the face of Republicans' stated support for faith and values. "It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," she declared, before adding: "This bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
Well, Jesus was a legal resident of The Kingdom of Israel last time I looked. And unless Hillary has been in direct contact with our Lord, there's no way of knowing if the Good Samaritian had his green card or a tourist visa.


After being passed by the House, the Senate is set to take up Sensenbrenner's bill, H.R. 4437. The legislation would instruct law enforcement to seek out illegal aliens and cut federal funding for cities, such as San Francisco, that have sanctuary laws. Other provisions include the creation of a border fence, the elimination of the diversity visa lottery system and the indefinite detention of some immigrants.

In 2003 Mrs. Clinton blurted out during a radio interview that she was "adamantly opposed to illegal immigrants." But her actions never lived up to the tough talk.
Well, her position depends on who she's talking to.
Two weeks ago Clinton announced her support for a defacto amnesty program that she said would grant illegal aliens "a path to earned citizenship for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes [and] respecting the law."

Well, if there was ever anything the hilderbeast would be qualified to comment on it would most certainly be a "mean spirit."

#15  Hillary is wigging out on this bill because she needs the illegals for her voting base. We need to keep this bill in the news, as Hillary will show the country what her real agenda is. Keep up the heat.

#14  Going after employers... cutting funding to sainctuary cities... making illegal ALIENS felons....

The more I hear about this republican bill the more I like it.

BTW - those are not immigration advocates - most legal immigrants dont want the illegal ALIENS either - they drive down the job market.

But I doubt Hillary been in contact with the our Lord - she doesn't like to talk to [what she considers] the hired hands...

#13  Jesus rendered aid to illegal immigrants? News to me.

#12  Lol.

In the end she's just "positioning" herself. Yes, I've heard of the bible. Yes, I've heard of Hayzoos. See? I'm a centrist!

#11  Hmmm,

Thou shalt not kill...

Vince Foster, Ron Brown, a long list of other potential candidates...

Thou shalt not steal...

Whitewater, 'nuff said...

Thou shalt not bear false witness...

Bill's grandy jury testimony, Hillary anytime she opens her mouth...

Honor thy father & thy mother...

Hmmm, I don;t think we can count this one...

Honor the Lord thy God before all others...

Okay, this one's a slam-dunk - both Bill and Hill honor a lot of things, but God isn;t included among them...

Thou shalt not commit adultery...

Vince Foster, Monica, etc...

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image...

Okay, I don;t think we can nail them on this one...

Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain...

Yup. I'm absolutely certain they've broken this one a time or three...

Thou shalt not covet...

This one is a definite...

Remember the Sabbath Day...

When was the last time we saw a politician take Sunday off to attend church? Slam-dunk.

What is that? Eight of ten?

#7   What's the over/under on the number of Commandments the Clintons have broken?

Let's see: if the purpose of the over/under is to divide the betting evenly between "over" and "under", I'd suggest we put it at..."9".

#1  Yeah, it criminalizes "Jesus" (pronounced "Hey-soos") - not to mention Juan and Jaime and anyone else who commits a CRIME by sneaking across the border illegally.

Tell ya' what, Hill - somebody commits a crime by bonking you on the head and stealing all your money, you're quite welcome not to be "mean-spirited" enough to prosecute him. But I'm not holding my breath.

These fools are pathetic. And transparent as hell.
