Hillary: GOP (Immigration) Bill Criminalizes Jesus
WND ^ | March 23, 2006

Posted on 03/23/2006 5:12:33 PM PST by glad2bdad

Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton invoked Jesus to argue against a House immigration bill that would make illegal presence in the United States a felony.

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

Clinton delivered her remarks as the Senate prepared to take up a version of the measure, which passed the House in December.

Unlawful presence in the U.S. currently is a civil offense.

Flanked by New York immigration activists, Clinton called the bill "mean-spirited" and inconsistent with Republicans' professed support for faith and values, the AP said.

Clinton said she hoped the Senate Judiciary Committee would come up with a compromise that would remove the House's severe penalties.

The New York senator said, however, she would back legislation to strengthen U.S. borders and seek more cooperation with Mexico and other neighboring countries.

She also wants to establish a way for the nation's approximately 11 million illegal immigrants to gain citizenship.

While recognizing the distress illegal immigration causes border communities, Clinton insisted Republicans are taking a great political risk in pushing the House bill forward.

"We want the outcome to be that they're on the wrong side of the politics as well as the wrong side of history and American values," she said.

As WorldNetDaily reported, a bill that would give millions of illegal aliens in the United States the opportunity to earn citizenship advanced last week when members of the Senate Judiciary Committee signaled likely passage of a proposal by Sens. Edward Kenney, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz.

Though a committee vote will not be held until after a week-long congressional recess, likely March 27, committee members appeared ready to back the Kennedy-McCain bill.

Her hypocracy knows no bounds. I honestly don't know how anyone in the room could have kept a straight face.

The subtle message here, perhaps even beyond Hillary's consciousness, denies Christ's divinity. In her reference to Jesus, she attempts to subordinate Him to her political dialectic. He can never be refused entrance anywhere. Everything is His.

I watched a clip on TV and she seemed quite comfortable until she came to the part where she had to mention scriptures, and you're right, she was experiencing a throat closing up moment when it came to mentioning Jesus.

Hillary thinks that Jesus was an illegal immigrant?

Right on target.

Hillary just provided a huge and fertile pile for upcoming late night talk shows and election campaigns.

Hmmmm. I have to wonder if shrillairy ever found herself in the presence of Jesus, if she would scream at him like she screamed at Dick Morris, or if she would just burst into flames...

She obviously doesn't know Him at all. Jesus would never break the law in the first place. He would have come here legally!

Newt was being sarcastic and mentioned that Hellary was a member of the Christian bashing Democrat Party

What do you expect from a woman whose husband pardoned 140 FALN terrorists the week before he left office.

Excellent campaign fodder . Thanks Hitlary , we will be sure to use it in a campaign ad against you...

I doubt it. Republicans are too weak-kneed to fight a campaign; even with FACTS and dem sound-bites at their disposal.

"Yes, there are problems with what Bush proposed, but those problems are a matter of cost. It would cost an immense amount to round up illegals, detain them, and then deport them to their countries of origin. The attempt would create a huge underground railroad of illegals avoiding Immigration agents, paying exorbitant fees to professionals who will hide them, feeding organized crime and possibly creating a market for Islamic extremist ideology among the illegals.

The best method of dealing with the illegals is to give them work visas without the possibility of naturalization unless they return to their country of origin and apply for a visa through normal channels. Of course, this only works if the borders are closed and a time limit is imposed after which illegals found in country will be deported. The solution to illegal immigration has to be comprehensive, with an eye on the consequences of every step. Hillary's solution is nothing more than an attempt to create a voter base of non-english speaking, poor, welfare cases."

Entering the USA illegally should be a criminal matter, but the way to handle the problem is to shut off the flow of money to the illegals. Once that is done they will want to leave. Allow them to go out the same way they came in. Those who employ illegals must be the targets because they have assets here which can be seized.

No one is saying that Jesus would be subject to the provision about being an actual illegal alien - the help He (and the Good Samaritan) offered would be criminalized under HR 4437 though - see this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1601472/posts

"Hillary Clinton's way of honoring Jesus is to fund partial-birth abortions, oppose faith-based organizations which help damaged people to get their lives on track, evade taxes, hire private investigators to bully & blackmail her political enemies, and lie about everything."

Couldn't have said it better myself. She's despicable.
