This sounds like a violation of the seperation of church and state....hypocrite
Something sounds weird about this... illegal=criminal doesn't it?
Illegal immigration isn't criminal right now?
Invoking Bible themes? She and Bill are the AHAZ and JEZEBEL of our time!
Wait, wasn't this hypocritical cow just attacking Bush for not controlling the borders recently?
You're in trouble in '08, Shrillary. The radical left won't vote for you if you don't support this bill, and the "moderates" won't vote for you if you do.
Why is it that the libs start quoting scriptures when they run out of real arguments? (Did she quote some scriptures to her hubby about infidelity too - or is it just show for the public?)
..someone's gonna pay for asking her a question
Isn't it the Democrats that keep screaming they are and will be tougher on immigration than the Republicans?
Funny, this just doesn't seem true and so unlike them to not mean what they say. /sarc
Oh! she doesn't want them to be felons because she would lose votes! ahhh now I understand...
Criminalizing illegal immigrants?
Silly me I thought illegal was the opposite of legal.
I thought doing something illegal was a criminal offense.
Another thing, what on earth does the Good Samaritan and Jesus have to do with illegal immigration. Does she thing they were in the country illegally? Geez.
Senator Clinton is shoring up the illegal immigrant vote for the next election. :)
She's standing on very fine soil and it is beginning to erode away. Keep going, b!tch. You'll be an "also-ran" before New Hampshire.
This one of those articles that needs to be saved so that it can be dusted off when she flip flops all over immigration during the election season.
So, if you apply Her Clinton's logic to its natural conclusion, she is also against criminalizing other ILLEGAL activity.
Jesus did not illegally enter some country. In fact, He taught that one should follow the rules of government as governments are ultimately established by the allowance of God.
People who enter this country illegally have, themselves, participated in a type of criminal activity.
If Charlie Whitebread enters any European country without a passport he has done so ILLEGALLY and will rightly suffer the consequences.
What Hillary is REALLY trying to do is marginalize illiegal immagration opponents as racists. Stuff it.
My biggest fear about HRC was that she would go to the right on immigration.
The MSM will give Hillary a pass on this; we will hear no denunciations of citing scripture as a reason for voting for or against legislation. And I'm not even sure her scriptural reference is pertinent. The Good Samaritan story is about helping a man who has been robbed, beaten, and thrown in a ditch, not about helping someone who has himself broken the law.
This sounds like the work of Jim Wallis, the religious guru the Democrats hired to teach the them how to speak in more "values-oriented" terms.

Funny thing....I thought ILLEGAL immigrants were already criminals.
Wonder what her biblical thoughts on homosexuality are...or adultry...stealing and killing and on and on.
"NEW YORK -- Invoking Biblical themes, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton joined immigration advocates Wednesday to vow and block legislation seeking to criminalize undocumented immigrants."
I think this is her first big political screwup.
