All of a sudden Clinton's praise of what Bush is doing is more important in what Bush is doing. Republicans get no credit.

Mayor Bloomberg: Illegal Immigrants Don't Cost Taxpayers
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday that illegal immigration doesn't drive up costs for New York City taxpayers because illegals don't utilize the services that are available to them.
Challenged by a caller who complained during Bloomberg's weekly WABC Radio show that illegal immigration had caused health care costs to spiral out of control, the mayor cited unnamed studies that he said prove the charge simply isn't true.
"Unfortunately, the undocumented workers don't avail themselves of services until their situation is dire," Bloomberg insisted, adding that it would be better if more illegals accessed health care facilities at an earlier stage in their illnesses.
Instead, the mayor claimed, illegal immigrants don't use available health care facilities because they're afraid of being reported to immigration officials, which he emphasized is not the case in New York City.
Rather than costing city taxpayers, Bloomberg said illegal immigrants were an essential part of the U.S. economy, saying: "All the jobs that they do - who would fill those jobs? Nobody else is willing to do it."
Besides, he added, "We're not going to go deport 12-plus million undocumenteds."
Instead, Bloomberg proposed an amnesty program for those illegals already here, telling WABC: "Let's give them - let's get control of the borders and give those that are here a card where they don't have to worry. And if they want to become citizens, that's great."

NYC's 10 Worst Landlords
The 10 Worst Landlords
Scraped from the bottom of the barrel, tales of living hell
July 5th, 2006 11:15 AM
The 10 Worst Landlords is a Voice institution. Started by longtime senior editor Jack Newfield in the '60s, it became a regular feature gracing our pages through the '70s, '80s, and '90s. This edition is dedicated to Newfield, who died in 2004. It was written by students from his alma mater, Hunter College. Senior editor Wayne Barrett, who this winter was the first Jack Newfield Visiting Professor of Journalism at Hunter, supervised the project.
Newfield's words from the '80s still ring true. "Not all landlords are heartless, not every tenant is victimized," he wrote, and not every victimized tenant has a heartless landlord. But the Voice's purpose remains, as Newfield put it, "to show what has been done by 10 moral offenders by analyzing code violations and court proceedings, and through interviews with tenants, organizers, and housing officials."
Housing trends in the city are still bleak for renters.
Rents punish, vacancies are scarcer than ever, and landlords almost always have the upper hand. New York is riddled with bad landlords, so choosing the 10 worst is not a scientific process. For example, we considered including the Pinnacle Group, which has been in the press a great deal lately, principally for allegedly wrongful evictions. But we discovered pluses and minuses about Pinnacle's practices and decided to continue to investigate, rather than list it among the clear-cut culprits.
There are some hopeful signs for tenants. Most important is that the commissioner of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Shaun Donovan, and the head of the Housing Litigation Unit, Deborah Rand, are clearly dedicated to championing tenants trapped in the worst housing. They helped us identify some of the landlords on this list, and they are using every available legal weapon to compel greater code compliance. In addition, the City Council, under the leadership of new Speaker Christine Quinn, is actively considering legislation to strengthen tenant protections. Newfield would be proud of all three— Quinn, Rand, and Donovan.
The following property owners—perhaps through greed, venality, indifference, or just plain incompetence—wreak havoc on their tenants and the city.

The Bible speaks often about the responsibility of helping the poor, of providing support for widows and orphans, and caring for those who, through no fault of their own, have fallen on hard times. But the Bible also says, "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat"(2 Thessalonians 3:10). In Proverbs we read, "He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given" (Proverbs 19:17). But the writer also says, "Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger" (Proverbs 19:15).
