Quisling: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

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.
Hillary is a far left extremist she has the most liberal voting record in the senate.
She voted for amnesty for illegal farm workers, she is for u.s taxpayers paying for illegals tuition, she voted against more border agents and more detainee beds.
There is nothing moderate about Hillary.
The media saying she is running to the center is laughable. Her center is between Fred Ferrer and John Kerry. Her ACU rating last year was 0. Ben Nelson a real centrist politician had an acu rating in the 50's.
Since the Mexican government provides the illegals with instructions on how to use the US system, maybe they could get together with Hitlery and make it easier. The best solution would be to send her and slick Willie to Mexico. We don't need them or the illegals. Maybe Hitlery could lead the "army of illegals" back to Mexico and take over their government. Then she could erect a wall to keep them in Mexico as most marxists government do.
Hillary has always been pro illegals. It is the media who is making her out to be something she isn't. She is also good at triangulating. Her voting record plays to her base. Then she makes a few statements and people that should know better eat it up. Never listen to Hillary's words look at her actions. While she is pretending to be something to all people just look at her voting record. She can't run and hide from her voting record. Why would anyone pay attention what someone in congress says that is different from there voting record. It just shows what a frand they are.
Go to some of the Illegal immigration threads and you will see some people believing her that she will do something about Illegal immigration...
I'm all for AIDS for illegal immigrants too. And for her, her husband, her kid, her Party...
Below I've posted an excerpt about what aid is (and is not) available for illegal aliens. Given what Bush has done to almost ensure that the rebuilding on the gulf coast will be done by illegals, I believe that the following shows the administration is talking out of both sides of its mouth.
September 20, 2005 - The Department of Homeland Security recently announced that immigrants [never, ever call an illegal alien an illegal alien!] have no immunity from deportation when providing information required to receive federal aid. "The administration's priority is to provide needed assistance: water, food, medical care, shelter," said Joanna Gonzalez, a DHS spokeswoman. "However, as we move forward with the response, we can't turn a blind eye to the law."In his national address Thursday, President Bush read off a list of services that the estimated 40,000 Mexicans and 150,000 Hondurans who lived in the New Orleans area cannot get: checks from Social Security, mail delivery by the Postal Service, money to rent apartments and temporary trailer homes.
Jacob Prado, who is coordinating relief efforts for the Mexican Embassy, distributed cash and airline tickets in and around Biloxi to Mexican citizens wishing to return home, an embassy spokesman said.

The only aid they merit is a one-way coach ticket back to where they came from and $50 in their hands.
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.

Talk about the drones lining up behind the queen bee...the issue is TOTAL INSANITY. THE WASINGTON GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.
That is their policy right? Amnesty for Illegals.
Like I wrote earlier, what seems to be at stake here is that illegal aliens and their defenders and accommodators (in our Senate, unfortunately), by seeking "amnesty" for illegal aliens, are trying to go for these as-now prohibited helps.
They're decrying these helps as not being available to illegal aliens, and thus, they're seeking this foolish amnesty idea, as per Hillary and the other Democrats' in our Senate are quoted as doing, this article. Otherwise, where is the relevancy to between the two issues here, in reference to federal assistance at this time, in reference to the Gulf?
It is undoubtedly that illegal aliens are trying to secure these helps (your link, thanks) and the Democrats are now trying to get "amnesty" on their behalf inorder for illegals to secure those as-now forbidden things.

Hillary Clinton is tougher on Illegal Immigration than any Republican I've seen. ...and that is shameful!
Has ANYONE suggested that this would be the proper time
for ILLEGAL aliens to GO HOME!
No AMNESTY!
Go BACK to wherever you are from.
These people have a country and a home.
They are NOT homeless.
They all have family they send $$ back to regularly so...
"FOLLOW THE MONEY"
Do you really think Hillary has one compassionate bone in that god-awful body of hers?
Hopefully there will be a third party candidate who will run against both the democrats and the republican's failure to deal with this problem.
how about a free bus ride home? And you know, the evil Karl Rove just might have put a political strategist in Hillary's campaign to give her bad advice!! She's so insulated from the real world, she would probably believe anything.
File this info away as reference material for upcoming elections and or their appeals for monetary support.
At this juncture,I know how I will vote in 2006.
I disagree with her in regards to the "...without fear of being deported." part of her statement, but I do agree that illegals should get their fair share.
Of course I think their fair share is zero, and I hope that DHS & FEMA make sure the crimaliens get it.
