Hillary's Hospitality Toward Illegal Aliens
- By Chuck Busch
I don't see how in heaven's name that Hillary Clinton can believe that any thinking individual would take her political positions seriously, even though she is a U.S. Senator and a presidential aspirant. Sorry for introducing religion into the determination of government policy, once considered taboo by the liberal establishment, but that's exactly what Hillary has done in regards to the immigration reform bill now being debated in the Senate.
In a recent statement, Hillary Clinton ventured out into some very unfamiliar territory when she cited biblical principles in objecting to a measure that would increase the crime for illegal entry from a civil offense to a felony. Sounding as sanctimonious as any bible-thumping "fundie" televangelist, Hillary had this to say against Congress's first sincere attempt in years to control the illegal alien catastrophe, "It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself." She also said that under this law, she would also be considered a felon, which is something that many who have observed her sordid political rise have already given much thought to.
Her comments are actually a take off from a position held by Catholic bishop Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles and other liberal religious groups. It is in the cardinal's mistaken judgment that the new bill will make "providing humanitarian assistance" to an illegal would be a crime. The law merely is a clarification of existing law that makes it illegal to "assist" an alien to "remain in the United States" and is specifically aimed at "coyotes" or human smugglers, not food kitchens or homeless shelters............
