On illegals, Hillary adapts for audience
Washington Times ^ | January 16, 2008 | Christina Bellantoni

LAS VEGAS — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa often talked tough about illegal aliens and called for them to learn English. But as she shifted the campaign westward, her language has softened...Clinton tells crowds she favors "comprehensive immigration reform," which includes securing the border, creating a path to citizenship and keeping families intact. As voters in Iowa called for action, she earned applause by calling for the deportation of any illegals who commit crimes and for insisting they learn English.

But at stops in Nevada, where nearly 15 percent of the population is Hispanic, voters cheered her assertion that "No woman is illegal ... and no man either."...

Her "no woman is illegal" response used language almost identical to that used by liberal Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich at an Iowa immigration forum less than two months ago, the same setting in which she was booed for not committing to give illegals a path to citizenship within the first 100 days of her administration....Clinton, would only say the pathway to citizenship would be a "high priority for me."... On the Iowa campaign trail in a town called Nevada this fall, Clinton said the government must "get people to come out of the shadows."

"If they commit a crime, we would deport them immediately, put them on a plane, take them back to where they came from," she said. But in Nevada, where she held a "Juntos Con Hillary, Una Vida Mejor" rally ("A better life with Hillary"), she promises action and is openly courting Hispanic voters.... In her regular campaign answer to immigration questions, Clinton often said that "demagogues" are degrading the debate...and rattled off the specifics that would come with what she called an unrealistic process of deporting the millions who are in the United States illegally....

By the time she hits the West coast she'll be campaigning in Spanish.

“Creating a path to citizenship”? I was unaware that the United States was no longer processing immigrants to citizenship.

It is easy to finess the illegal immigration issue in the Democrat Party, it is an issue where all the candidates have pretty much the same position. What I do not understand is how Republican candidates such asMcCain, Julie Annie, Romney and the Huckster have been allowed to finess their positions. If these boys were not running for the Presidency and residing in the office to which they were formally elected, they all would be on the Jorge Bush bandwagon touting amnesty in the form of Teddy Kennedy’s “comprehensive reform”.

In the great debate last night, not one word on illegals, but oh did we talk about race. A truce, what a joke.

“Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa often talked tough about illegal aliens and called for them to learn English.”....Yeah right!....She does more flip flops than a tuna on the deck of a charter boat. There’s no way this scheming, lying socialist can run this country!

"If they commit a crime, we would deport them immediately, put them on a plane, take them back to where they came from," she said.

To the Honorable Senator Clinton:

They commited a crime when they entered illegally...are you committing to deport them all?

Check this out. It appears Rudy’s house may have been built by illegal aliens. Remember all the guff he gave Romney?

http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0803,barrett,78883,6.html

[snip] Visits to several ongoing Farrell jobs in December found a work force that was entirely Latino except for the project manager directly employed by Farrell. At one major site on Halsey Lane in Bridgehampton, an Ecuadorian who was working on the roof of a guesthouse insisted that he and his two non-English-speaking companions were legal. Employed by a roofing company called Cedar Design, he said that he thought “all of the other people here are illegal.” Asked how he knew that, the worker said that the Americans stopped working at noon on Friday, three hours before the The Voice visit. Pressed as to who was illegal, he pointed in the direction of a dozen or so people, all of whom appeared to be Latino, who were working on the foundation of the main house.

Sister Margaret Smyth, a Catholic nun who works with undocumented workers in the Hamptons, said that she’d recently won a $1,000 claim against a subcontractor, Hampton Brick Works, who hired a bricklayer to build a 42-foot chimney for a Farrell house and then refused to pay him. The bricklayer was undocumented. Farrell acknowledged that he used the contractor, though he said he’d only recently begun giving the firm business. Brick chimneys are a signature feature of Farrell’s homes, and Giuliani’s house has three of them. Tom Wedell, a leader of the Anti-Illegal Immigrant Association, says that he’s seen Hampton Brick Works come to the 7-Eleven store in Southampton and pick up illegal workers......

Farrell says that Giuliani first came to him “a year and a half to two years” before he bought the house, inquiring about a possible purchase. Farrell says he got to know Giuliani by driving him around to other sites, and that Giuliani worked his way up from the $1 million price range to the $3.2 million that he ultimately paid. That kind of protracted contact gave Giuliani plenty of opportunity to make the same sort of observations about Farrell’s workforce as the The Voice did over the course of a couple of weeks.
