Clinton Suggests Legalizing Some Immigrants
By RAYMOND HERNANDEZ
WASHINGTON, March 8 — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton waded into the contentious issue of immigration on Wednesday, opening the door to the idea of letting some illegal immigrants earn legal status in the United States.
Mrs. Clinton made her remarks as members of Congress found themselves deeply divided over the question of how to deal with the millions of illegal immigrants working in the United States.
In December, the Republican-led House passed one of the toughest border security bills in more than a decade, seeking to make it a federal crime to live in the United States illegally. The legislation would turn millions of immigrants into felons who would be ineligible to win any legal status.
The bill was approved over the objections of some business leaders and moderate Republicans, who support President Bush's drive for a comprehensive plan that would grant millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States a right to work here temporarily. The Senate has yet to settle on its own plan to address the issue.
Currently, living in this country without a document like a visa or a green card is a violation of civil immigration law, not criminal law.
In a letter to constituents, Senator Clinton, who has largely steered clear of the debate until now, criticized the bill passed in the House, saying it would "target and criminalize the undocumented and punish those who would provide them with humanitarian assistance."
Mrs. Clinton, who is up for re-election this year in New York, was referring to a provision in the House bill that would make it a federal crime to offer services or assistance to illegal immigrants. Churches, social service agencies and immigration groups across the country have sharply criticized that provision.
In her letter, Senator Clinton did not propose specific legislation to deal with the issue of illegal immigrants working in this country. But she did say she supported the idea of giving the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants "the opportunity to earn legal status in this country."
Senator Clinton said that national security is being placed at risk because the country has an enormous population of people "we know nothing about."
"The suggestion that enacting stricter and more enforceable deportation laws alone can solve this problem ignores reality," she said in her letter. "This will only force the undocumented deeper underground."
Mrs. Clinton said that although she opposed granting unconditional amnesty to illegal immigrants, the country needed a program that encouraged such people to come forward and identify themselves.
"For those who work hard, pay their taxes, continue to obey the law and demonstrate a commitment to this country, the opportunity to eventually earn citizenship should also be available," she said.
"A program such as this is not a free ride, and it certainly is not for everyone," she continued. "Legal status must be earned, as it was by previous generations of immigrants who became citizens through perseverance and hard work."Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

And she went to Yale.
And she was First Lady of the United States for 8 years.
And she couldn't even keep up with the illegal activities of her husband.
Total strangers knew more about his activities "in the shadows" and in his "underground" than she did.
She couldn't find illegal aliens in a Home Deport parking lot.
She couldn't even find Bill in the Snack Room of the Oval Office.
How do such people end up in our government as one of the 100 Most Powerful People in the United States?
WAKE UP NEW YORK......

Bill Clinton should be more concerned with his public image than he is with legalizing illegal aliens. Bad boy! Bad boy! If there is anyone worse than Clinton check out a google search on Southern Poverty Law Center's own Morris Dees. (NOTE: It's been months but I more than once did a google search on the words morris dees + divorce). This scumbucket actually makes Clinton look like a BOY SCOUT. Go figure!

Vicente Fox, that adulterous husband of his first wife whom he left for Marta the Ho and she her long time husband for scumbag Fox, needs to tax himself and his other elite wealthy Mexican friends more and stop pawning his/their problems and burdens onto middle class and poor US citizen taxpayers. Foxy is also a bullfighting enthusiast. Not only watching but participating at least in his younger years and I've read online that he has his very own private ranch and bullfighting ring too. Shame and dam* you, Foxy you jerk and we all know you have Jorge Bush's approval to drain the money from middle class and poor Americans. You SUCK Fox scumbag! You are/were an adulterer - same thing in the eyes of God regardless of timing; you are cruel to animals; and you are a rich parasitic freeloader who refuses to take responsibility for lifting the people you were elected to represent in your country out of corruption and poverty. I guess the easy life must be really easy especially for a scumbag such as yourself who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and never had to work a REAL JOB in his life.People who take issue with control of population do not understand that if it is not done in a graceful way, nature will do it in a brutal fashion - Henry Kendall

I get so sick of these people with their brilliant ideas. They don't even understand human nature, much less the laws of the country they are supposed to be governing.
