Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is urging the Department of Homeland Security to assure illegal immigrants that they will get their fair share of Hurricane Katrina relief aid without fear of being deported.

In a statement posted to her official Senate web site on Wednesday, Clinton said that the DHS should "issue a formal statement reassuring immigrant victims of Hurricane Rita and Katrina that they can seek help from relief agencies without fear of deportation or being turned over to immigration authorities."

In a letter written directly to Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff, Clinton and other Senate Democrats complained that they first asked for Katrina amnesty for illegals more than two weeks ago, but have not received a response.

"In fact," they said, "we were surprised and troubled to learn that DHS has placed some individuals in deportation proceedings after these individuals sought assistance, despite the fact that the government had previously encouraged all storm victims to come forward to seek help.

"Particularly given the widely publicized reports that DHS will deport some immigrant victims of Katrina who sought assistance, we believe such a public assurance is crucial."

Mrs. Clinton urged Chertoff to "terminate removal proceedings against those [illegal immigrants] who were placed in proceedings after they sought assistance."

Other Senate Democrats who signed onto Mrs. Clinton bid to obtain Katrina aid for illegal immigrants include Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Maria Cantwell, Barack Obama, Russ Feingold, Daniel Akaka, Frank Lautenberg, Joe Lieberman, Carl Levin, John F. Kerry, Chris Dodd, Pat Leahy and Jon Corzine.

Except that the reality is that we're morphing into a third world nation.

When will it be felt?

And when we feel it, what will be the label of present "third world" countries?

Bloody hell. Shrillary just can't wait to give this nation away to the illegals, can she?

Hitlery doesn't "give" anything away, she is getting something for this.

"But some freepers here are willing to support her cause she wants to get tough on illegal immigrants.. Well she talked about getting tough on illegal immigrants...."

I can't believe that some freepers actually believe her.

If you see a freeper that believes that she will walk the talk, show them this:

Hillary Clinton voting record: July, 2005

http://grades.betterimmigration.com/testgrades.php3?District=NY&VIPID=896

Grade for career: D-

Recent: F

Remember these grades, as this is the REAL Hillary. I suspect she will change the grades (through her voting) when running for president.

I am very concerned when I hear conservatives saying, or calling talk shows, saying they will support Hillary because she will secure our borders. Some are probably liberals pretending to be conservative, but some, I know for a fact ARE conservatives.

We need to spread the word, call talk shows, write letters to editors, etc. to inform voters about the REAL Hillary, or she just might be our next president.

The burning question is...what is she getting? Following the money is no longer sufficient. Now we must follow the bodies.

It will be obvious soon enough, it always is.

Jeb Bush will need to be careful.

Just remember that it's the REAL Conservatives like Tancredo, NOT the OBL MORONS in power that need our vote!

These are the folks who don't believe that ILLEGAL immigrants should be deported but think that the USA should absorb them and pay for them? Remember these people on election day????????

They should be helped generously, then fingerprinted, and given free trip back to their homeland. In case they want to come again, they should be given proper application forms to present in US consulate in Mexico.

Is it what Mrs. Clinton proposed?

Why doesn't Her Heinous move them into her house?

"to assure illegal immigrants that they will get their FAIR SHARE of Hurricane Katrina relief aid without fear of being deported."

How the F does an ILLEGAL alien (not IMMIGRANT) deserve a fair share of ANYTHING from America except a boot in the ass out of here??? FU Hellary, FU.

Well, the question here is, what has the Director of Homeland Security and the administration said about this?

Has there been any response or comment at all?
