Hillary - the Biblical scholar unmasked

[SuperScout]

Democrat Sen. Hillary Clinton invoked Jesus to argue against a House immigration bill that would make illegal presence in the United States a felony. "It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," Clinton said, according to the Associated Press, "because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself." [And when did Hillary become such a Biblical scholar? Pray tell, madame, how a citizen of one country becomes a criminal by doing a good deed? How would Jesus be criminalized? And does your understanding of Scriptures allow for the partial birth abortions that you suport?]

Unlawful presence in the U.S. currently is a civil offense. [And those Wascally Wepublicans want to make it a felony. It should have been a felony long ago, with strict penalties for anyone hiring illegal aliens.]

Flanked by New York immigration activists, Clinton called the bill "mean-spirited" and inconsistent with Republicans' professed support for faith and values, the AP said. [Can you explain how, madame, or is your blather just typical Democrat rhetoric?]

Clinton said she hoped the Senate Judiciary Committee would come up with a compromise that would remove the House's severe penalties.

The New York senator said, however, she would back legislation to strengthen U.S. borders and seek more cooperation with Mexico and other neighboring countries.

She also wants to establish a way for the nation's approximately 11 million illegal immigrants to gain citizenship. [Here's a clue: go back home and apply for citizenship, just like the law currently allows. Now, is that too difficult for you, Hillary?]

While recognizing the distress illegal immigration causes border communities, Clinton insisted Republicans are taking a great political risk in pushing the House bill forward. [So, what's more important, addressing the distress caused to these communities, or playing it politically safe? Only a woos chooses that route, madame.]

"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. [What American values are being jeopardized? Adherence to law? Respecting property rights?]
