No illegal people, in Calif.
Politico.com ^ | January 12, 2008 | Ben Smith

My colleague Jeffrey Ressner got in on Hillary's rope line at King Taco in L.A.'s Boyle Heights yesterday to ask what she meant in Las Vegas when she echoed a rallying cry of the immigrant rights movement — that no woman is illegal.

"I was responding to a man who said his wife was illegal because she was undocumented. I said 'There are no illegal women,'" she said. Asked if that conflicted with the sometimes hard line she's taken on illegal immigration — no drivers licenses, for instance — she said, "Illegal immigration is different than illegal people," drawing a "That's right!" from L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Also from Ressner, in the Commerce, Calif., union hall where she spoke earlier in the day: "Hillary, marry me, baby," a man shouted out to Clinton. She replied, "That is certainly the kindest offer I have had in a while." She took a pause. "I'd probably get arrested."

No illegals in Calif? Like no gays in Iran?

"no woman is illegal" I must have missed something. Did someone say it was illegal to be a woman? Talk about bullshit. Calling illegals undocumented immigrants is like calling a dope dealer an undocumented pharmacist.

Very strong thoughts you've expressed. I actually know of illegal women, though: women alive because they were saved from being aborted through someone going up to the mother on the steps of the abortion clinic and convincing her to turn around.

Depends what the meaning of the word "illegal" is.....

These Clintons want to redefine everything - including the English language.

that no woman is illegal

Well, according to Hillary's opponent, Mr. Obama, a baby who manages to slip out of the birth canal and has the audacity to actually be born, despite the fact that an abortion was attempted, is not only "illegal," it does not even exist.

Now, to be fair, Hillary signed on to the "Born Alive Act," which is analogous to the "dryfoot" rule for Cubans--if you make it all the way, we'll grant you immunity. Of course, Hillary has no problem with a doctor sticking a pair of scissors into the kid if he is only halfway out, prior to sucking out its brain with a vacuum cleaner. Ooops! Sorry!! I meant to say that Hillary favors the reproductive rights of women. My bad!

I hate stupid slogans like this. They are meaningless and are simply a ploy to inflame people’s emotions without shedding any light on a problem.

So Bush wants Israel to give back the “occupied lands” they won in war when they were attacked. Why not give Kalifornica back to Mexico and keep Arizona and Texas?

The illegal aliens in California should take heart.

The USA is about to do a partition for “peace” to serbia by unilaterally allowing kosovo moslems to claim independence.

The illegals can point to that and demand the USA do the same for the parts invaded by illegal aliens.

The RNC needs to make a major issue out of this.

I suppose that Hillary now has the Aztec vote all sewn up.

Two points I hope the Republican nominee will mention during the debates with the Rat nominee.
I’m sick of Republicans not calling out Democrats on these kind of issues. When a Rat says the Bush Tax Cuts “cost” the Gubmint money, they are lying. Revenues to the Gubmint are up 30% from 2003. The Rats get away with their lies and distortions because they own the press.
Hell, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I could eviscerate any of the idiot Dims running for POTUS in a one on one debate.

I’ve come to that sense too. Hillary Rodham Clinton is not a liberal democrat, socialist, or communist. She is an empty, power hungry vacuum. She has NO VALUES WHATSOEVER, whether for good or evil. Her only values are her rise to power, and she will morph into, act along, and pander to as many sheep she thinks will vote her into power as possible. That’s why nothing she says makes sense, and she seems to flip flop on these kinds of issues.

A very interesting tracking map I’ve not seen before -

Illegal Alien Activity Tracking System;

I venture to say that SOME woman illegals have committed crimes in the US, wonder if Hillary thinks these women are criminals?

They (the RNC) STILL dont get it. They are bought off.

They will water down the GOP Platform on this, and particularly if one of the four headless RINOs is the Nominee, you can bet they will not get very tough on Illegal Immigration.

It will take a Conservative in the general election to take on the two Democrats and really bring this issue to the national forefront like never before. It will take a lot of money and boots on the ground and a strong leader, but it can be done.
