Hillary's Makeover: Beauty Queen or Clown?
Lowell Ponte writes about Hillary's political metamorphosis on Front Page Magazine today.
“This bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself,” said Senator Hillary Clinton last week. She was criticizing legislation that would make felons of those who illegally cross America’s borders and their accomplices. “It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture.”
A year earlier, however, the junior Senator from New York preached a different sermon.
“I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants,” Ms. Clinton told an interviewer on New York City’s WABC Radio. “Clearly, we have to make some tough decisions as a country, and one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry-and-exit system so that if we’re going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let’s have a system that keeps track of them….at least a visa ID, some kind of entry-and-exit ID.…[W]e might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens.”
“People have to stop employing illegal immigrants,” Senator Clinton told the surprised WABC interviewer.
Whatever way the wind is perceived to be blowing, Hillary is a dutiful windsock. And she has plenty of monetary support. But will that support be enough?
