Fallout from Clinton pardons for FALN prompts reform measure, renewed debate

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Fallout from President Clinton’s controversial pardons of 16 members of a Puerto Rican nationalist group last summer prompted Republicans Tuesday to introduce a measure to reform the pardon process and require input from victims and their families.
At a Capitol Hill news conference, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Vito Fossella (R-New York) announced the introduction of a measure requiring the Office of Pardon Attorney in the Justice Department to notify victims or their families of key events in the clemency process and allowing them to voice their views. It would also require law enforcement agencies to provide information on the potential impact from a grant of clemency.
President Clinton was widely criticized after he granted clemency to the FALN members over the objections of law enforcement officials, and after the Justice Department consulted representatives of the FALN prisoners, but not the victims.
Illegals are attempting to make us feel guilty for our own laws. I’m getting tired of it. They can all leave and go to hell.
When all of the remaining major candidates for POTUS are for both amnesty for illegal immigrants and for keeping the U.S. borders open, what is everyone on the other side of these issues seriously supposed to do next? This is the question that seriously needs to be resolved prior to mid-January ‘09.
