NEW YORK (March 23) - Invoking Biblical themes, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton joined immigration advocates Wednesday to vow and block legislation seeking to criminalize undocumented immigrants

Please call them INVADERS and don't compare them to people who are legal aliens!


President Bush has been great on most things except for our border.
He has been great on the war on terrorists.
But on the border he is a gross failure.
He acted fast and correct on the 3,000+ people murdered at the world trade center.
He ignores the many rapes, murders and robberies which might be larger than the murders and money loss at the world trade center.
More Americans are abducted on the border of Mexico than in Iraq!

Start building the fence.

It should be made a felony for Criminals who overstay their visas and Invaders.

I believe we should give amnesty to these poor CRIMINALS or INVADERS.
This should be a 2 week amnesty to get the heck out of our Country.
The ones who ignore this amnesty should be buried in a tent city jail and fined $10,000 or buried elsewhere.
All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINALS or INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided.
Those in government should be the first ones charged.

So Hillary favors mass illegal immigration? That should be enough to remind Americans she's any one but a moderate.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

[Armigerous]

Even the Devil can quote scripture when it serves his purpose.

[RS]

"All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINALS or INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided."

All they have to do is follow the existing law on employing illegals and the problem would disappear by itself.

I heard the clip. Ahem. If her thighness knew the Bible at all, she would know that the Jews were told by GOD that they and they were to inhabit the Promised Land and were to, by force if necessary, kick out anyone already dwelling there.

Further, Jesus was no illegal. He was a legally-born Jew, who was a Jewish citizen and subject of the Roman Empire, who not only instructed His followers to pay taxes to Caesar, but who paid the "Temple Tax" as well. He said "I did not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it."

I suggest we fulfill the immigration laws by deporting those criminals who are here illegally now.

Hey Hillary, ask your hubby about what the Bible says about "adultery" am pretty sure its against it.
Also look at that Scripture about removing the plank from your eye before trying to remove the sliver from someon elses.

Open borders Hillary found a Bible.

[twigs]

I heard someone say that this was going to serve her well among conservatives who know their Bible. I entirely disagree. She misquoted her scripture and basically accused anyone who does not agree with her viewpoint of being unscriptural. She said by the standards of those who wish to criminalize illegals, even Jesus would be guilty (or something similar). I can't think of anything that will turn people off more quickly.

When I saw a clip of her on FNC citing the Bible, I was stunned. Who is trying to fool?

[Paige]

Hey I only posted the article. I didn't write it.

[JillValentine]

Her Hillaryness is absolutely right. There's a long-forgotten Eleventh Commandment that says "Thou shalt do illegal things and have no respect for the law." Unfortunately, it was erased from every Bible in the world through the efforts of a massive conspiracy led by Karl Rove.

[Integrityrocks]

I love the analogy of criminalizing even Jesus Himself. It wouldn't be the first time Jesus was deemed a criminal for fighting against the "popular" side of an issue. And since she's using biblical references. How about thou shalt not kill (babies in the womb), biblical references to the sins of homosexuality, biblical references to marriage as between a man and a woman... oh the list is too long to go into. How convenient she finds a scriptural reference to support her twisted argument.

[monkeywrench]

Separation of church and state.

[Alberta's Child]

If she had any idea about the true meaning of the parable of the Good Samaritan, she'd never refer to it at all.

[PilloryHillary]

While she's at it invoking the Gospel, Hillary needs to look at the Bible and read what it says about killing the innocent unborn.

[massgopguy]

Jesus never travelled more than twenty miles from birthplace as an adult.

[Reaganesque]

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," Clinton said, "because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."

That would be her understanding from her special King David Version of the Bible.
