-- Invoking Biblical themes, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton joined immigration advocates Wednesday to vow and block legislation seeking to criminalize undocumented immigrants.
Clinton, a potential 2008 presidential candidate and relative latecomer to the immigration debate, made her remarks as the Senate prepares to take up the matter next week.

Presidential bid=DOA
Okay, so what's her position on outsourcing then?
There goes the union vote. Really not though.
I thought by definition an illegal immigrant was breaking the law.
Gee, I thought they were already criminalized.
Hillary wants to stop something that would make a crime out of something that is illegal...? Good thing she's the 'smartest woman in the world.'
Perhaps Clinton should have blocked Bill from sexually assaulting numerous women over the years.
Depends on your definition of illegal.....
I thought she was playing it smart and supporting what 80% of the people support?
Maybe she read the bogus Zogby poll.
This ain't gonna go over well with the racist libs, for sure. But on the plus side, at least she's open about it. The Republicans pretend to be against illegal immigration, but their actions show their true intent.
So, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it illegal now to cross the border ILLEGALLY? Criminalize illegals? How stupid can people get?
This is the first I've heard that Jesus was an illegal alien in the US. You learn something new every day from the Hildebeast.
Get rid of illegals, purge the rolls of dead folks, block felons from voting and the DUmocrats won't be left with much of a base.
Maybe she's just veering leftward to preempt Gore, who's been thinking of making another manly try at the presidency in 2008. And of course she's been planning on doing the same.
How do you criminalize what's already criminal?
The illegal aliens aren't going over well in the afro-American community, in Chicago they're supposedly livid at the illegals taking the lower paying jobs from the blacks.
But the blacks will return to the Democratic plantation come election day. People get what they vote for.
Aren't illegal immigrants ALREADY criminals? What am I missing here?
hello, if they broke the law already that makes them criminals.
