Clinton Is Pressed to Help Immigrants — Fast
By Adam Nagourney

Hillary Rodham Clinton got a reminder in Iowa today of just how divisive the issue of immigration is –- on both sides of the ideological spectrum. She drew a lusty chorus of boos from advocates of laws permitting illegal immigrants to become citizens as she spoke at the Heartland Forum, a Democratic presidential forum organized by a collection of community groups here.
It happened as Mrs. Clinton was pressed on whether she was prepared, within the first 100 days of her presidency, to push through legislation that would give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship. The question drew applause.
“I have been in favor of a path to citizenship for years,â€

NUMBER ONE REASON WHY I AM NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT. THEY ARE H--- BENT ON MAKING THESE PEOPLE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. THEY MAKE DEMANDS ON OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE POISED TO OBLIGE THEM. BUT I WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO THEIR DEMANDS NOT NOW,NOT EVER. THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THOSE RUNNING FOR THIS OFFICE WHO ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF GIVING AWAY CITIZENSHIP TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO REGARDS FOR OUR LAWS ON IMMIGRATION. MY VOTE WILL BE FOR THE ONE WHO IS NOT IN THEIR CORNER. THESE ILLEGALS DO NOT DESERVE TO BECOME CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY AND IT WOULD BE WRONG FOR WHOEVER BECOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT TO REFORM OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS AND SYSTEM. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR LAWS. THEY ARE JUST NOT BEING ENFORCED. ALSO THIS WOULD BE GIVING IN TO THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT AND THIS IS JUST WHAT THEY WANT. THEY NEED TO CLEAN UP THEIR OWN HOUSE BEFORE THEY TRY TO CLEAN UP OURS.

AMEN to THAT!!!!
