Hillary Calls for National ID Card

Saying that she is strongly opposed to "illegal immigrants," New York Sen. Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday that she would support a national identification card for U.S. citizens if other measures to keep illegals out of the country failed.

"I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants," Clinton told WABC Radio's John Gambling. Then, a few moments later, the Democratic Party presidential frontrunner added, "We might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens."

Clinton said she would support a national ID card as part of an overall effort to improve the U.S.'s national security.

"Clearly we have to make some tough decisions as a country," the top Democrat warned. "And one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry and exit system so that if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them."

Asked specifically if she favored a national identification system, Clinton said she would support "at least a visa ID, some kind of an entry and exit ID. And, you know, perhaps, although I'm not a big fan of it, we might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens."

Sen. Clinton, whose husband opened the floodgates to illegal immigrants in 1996 in hopes of naturalizing them in time for that year's presidential election, complained that too many Americans were employing illegals.

"People have to stop employing illegal immigrants," she told WABC. "I mean, come up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and Nassau Counties, stand in the street corners in Brooklyn or the Bronx (and) you're going to see loads of people waiting to get picked up to go do yard work and construction work and domestic work. You know, this is not a problem that the people coming into the country are solely responsible for. They wouldn't be coming if we didn't put them to work."

I call for Hillary to wear a bag over her head.

Far out! She's shockingly condescending, IMO.

true. no passive defense can do more than make noise, slow an invader down, and channelize him. That's when the ACTIVE measures should kick in ;)

"Someone to keep Bill company when she is in Washington. "

Who keeps him company when she's home?

Being married to her almost invokes pity from me.

[demosthenes the elder]

good question/point

[ladylib]

She has a sense of superiority. She knows how you should raise your children and live your life and she's determined to help you do it.

[CWOJackson]

In her defense, she keeps loosing her AKC registration so a National ID would help her.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Exactly!

If an illegal does not have a soc. sec. card kick em out!

[Sacajaweau]

Hillary's base is women "stupid women" and is the continuation of the same base that was necessary for her slob husband to win.

I sure hope women "wise up".

A woman who votes for a women "just because she IS a woman" is an ignorant woman.

NEEDS REPEATING

Sen. Clinton, whose husband opened the floodgates to illegal immigrants in 1996 in hopes of naturalizing them in time for that year's presidential election, complained that too many Americans were employing illegals.

ROTFLMAO!!! bow wow!!! but I sternly disagree!

Hitlery is not a pure bred she is a muttley.So no wonder she needs some kinda ID as her DL says she can only drive three lies home a day.

[NEWwoman]

Right. Anytime I think Hillary makes sense, that should be a red flag. She's a master (er mistress) of propaganda. I know ultimately it is *not* for our own good. Interesting to see where all this leads.

[CWOJackson]

Darn, I always thought she was a pure blood bitc...female dog.

[Freedom2specul8]

ACtually, the social security card was never intended to be an ID card. If I recall correctly it's purpose is to be used as a tax ID/social security ONLY.

[Freedom2specul8]

She and her kind are the reasons some guys hate it that women ever got the right to vote.
