If you want to outlaw illegal immigration, then you are not in keeping with the Scriptures.



By BETH FOUHY
AP Political Writer

NEW YORK -- Invoking Biblical themes, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton joined immigration advocates Wednesday to vow and block legislation seeking to criminalize undocumented immigrants.

Clinton, a potential 2008 presidential candidate and relative latecomer to the immigration debate, made her remarks as the Senate prepares to take up the matter next week.

Clinton renewed her pledge to oppose a bill passed in December by the House that would make unlawful presence in the United States _ currently a civil offense _ a felony. The Senate is set to consider a version of that legislation, as well as several other bills seeking to address the seemingly intractable issue of immigration reform.

Surrounded by a multicultural coalition of New York immigration advocates, Clinton blasted the House bill as "mean-spirited" and said it flew in the face of Republicans' stated support for faith and values.

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

Clinton did not specifically endorse any competing legislation, including a bill co-authored by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and another by Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), saying she hoped the Senate Judiciary Committee would produce a compromise incorporating the best elements of all the bills and would remove the harsh penalties contained in the House measure.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has said the Senate will take up his proposal to tighten borders and punish employers who hire illegal immigrants if the Judiciary Committee doesn't complete a broader bill by next week.

Among other things, Clinton said she would support legislation that would strengthen U.S. borders, boost technology to secure the borders, and seek greater cross-border cooperation with Mexico and other neighboring countries.

She also called for new enforcement laws, including penalties for employers who exploit illegal immigrants, as well as a system to allow the roughly 11 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States to earn their citizenship.

Clinton expressed sympathy to representatives of communities along the U.S.-Mexico border that are frustrated by the stress of providing social services to large numbers of undocumented immigrants. But she also said she hoped to send a message that supporters of punitive immigration policy faced significant political risk for doing so.

"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.

President Bush has argued for a guest worker program that would allow undocumented immigrants already in the United States to keep their jobs for up to six years. The effort hasn't gained much momentum, partly due to fierce resistance from others within the GOP.

Or course her "understanding" of scriptures promotes both the murder of unborn children and homosexual sodomy. So I think we can discount her as the moronic nutjob that she most certainly is.

......There aren't words for how indescribably stupid such a statement is.

Jesus WAS NOT an illegal alien. He was a JEW living IN ISRAEL. The only time He went anywhere else was to go into Samaria, and lots of folks did that in His day.

There were no laws imposed by the Jewish or Roman authorities that made it against the law to be in Samaria or Israel.

Added, Jesus was also not smuggling 50,000 or more sex slaves across the border. Nor was He associated with an international terrorist organization like AQ or MS-13. Nor was He muling 20 pounds of heroin. Nor could you find Jesus trafficking in PEOPLE. I am pretty sure Jesus wasn't busted on a joint taskforce raid like Fernando Sifuentes with 25,000 dollars in meth, several firearms, and some underage girls he imported and forced to be sex slaves.

There is no end to how stupid liberals will be.

Any politician will say or do anything to obtain enough votes to be elected, or to be re-elected.  Hillary just happens to have chosen, or simply found herself catering to the moon bats of the American people.  Republican politicians are probably no different, except that they have to answer to the more reasonable chunk of voters, therefore, they sound more reasonable to you and I.

Matt 17-25 He is saying, "Yes." And, coming into the house, Jesus forestalls him, saying, "What are you supposing, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom are they getting tribute or poll tax? From their sons, or from the aliens?"
26 Now he averred, "From the aliens." Now at his saying "From the aliens," Jesus averred to him, "Consequently the sons, surely, are free.

IF she runs, many will not actually be voting for her as much as voting against the present administration. Here's hoping Bush Jr. does not give her the same amount of rope to hang the Republicans that his father gave to another Clinton. The president's approval rating is already in the toilet. And every election we have 4 more years of moronic idiots churned out by the publik skool sistem that teaches that thinking like a liberal nutjob is "thinking for yourself".

Now I wasn't there when Jesus was on earth, so I don't know for a fact. In all my years of faith, attending church and listening to sermons going to bible studies and from what I remember in youth group as a kid: Jesus was a carpenter, so I can see the analogy to construction work, but I never heard or read one story about Jesus sneaking across the border of another country and working for a lower wage being paid under the table and damaging the local ecomony.

Luke chapter 2 details the birth of Jesus while his parents were traveling to be counted by the government's census.

She is not just wrong, but very wrong.

eta: i read the article, and I don't think she was saying "Jesus was an illegal alien" - she was saying that He helped people out, and liberals help out illegal aliens.

She's still a lunatic, but I think the title of this thread is misleading.
