At least she has lowered the decibel level, and wasn't nearly as shrill. I guess the speech coach is earning his or her money. Now, if she could only do something about that "makes one want to hurl" face of hers....

criminalizes Jesus
Cites Bible to argue against measure
making illegal presence in U.S. felony

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.
Democratic 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."
Clinton delivered her remarks as the Senate prepared to take up a version of the measure, which passed the House in December.
Unlawful presence in the U.S. currently is a civil offense.
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.
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.
While recognizing the distress illegal immigration causes border communities, Clinton insisted Republicans are taking a great political risk in pushing the House bill forward.
"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.
As WorldNetDaily reported, a bill that would give millions of illegal aliens in the United States the opportunity to earn citizenship advanced last week when members of the Senate Judiciary Committee signaled likely passage of a proposal by Sens. Edward Kenney, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz.
Though a committee vote will not be held until after a week-long congressional recess, likely March 27, committee members appeared ready to back the Kennedy-McCain bill.

When you cast that net you get whatever comes back....
the protection of the Citizens of the USA goes before any church demands to help illegal aliens the churches have not the means or intention of screening for criminality or terrorist ties...
We are at war the borders MUST be secured...
Long time no see Quix.
Good to have you back.
Nobody really cared very much about "illegal immigration" back then, for the same reason that "illegal aliens" didn't exist in Biblical times. In both cases the government had very few functions, and providing "free" sh!t like medical care, education, housing, etc. certainly wasn't one of them. The American who settled in the Dakota Territory in the latter half of the 19th century was no different than the German immigrant who lived across the road . . . they both worked from dawn to dusk every day, and neither one of them had any claim on the fruits of the other one's labors. The German immigrant was there for the same reason that the American was there. And the same was true for fishermen, shepherds, and merchants in Judea back when Christ walked on the earth.
When government served minimal functions, there was no reason for a person to immigrate to the U.S. for financial reasons other than what could be gained from the freedom to derive financial gain from his own labor. This all came to an end in the United States when government became nothing more than a massive industry hell-bent on enriching some people at the expense of others.
As I've said here before on any number of occasions . . . illegal immigrants are not a "problem" for this country because they represent a drain on our schools, hospitals, etc. The real problem is that these public institutions ever existed in the first place.
I cannot write what I would like.
Her using the Bible as a prop is beyond disgusting and offensive.
she is just covering her huge ass, she got caught campaigning for illegal irish americans to be given citizenship; and the lunatics, I mean her followers of the plantation threw a hissy fit, that is why she had a black, puerto rican and an asian on stage SHE MUST BE STOPPED!!!!
I am not a Catholic, but even as a Protestant who ministers to illegal aliens, I am still concerned. I don't think the Church should harbor criminals, but that HR 4437 seeks to ban goes way beyond that. Short of some reason for santuary or asylum, the Church recognizes the right of a sovereign state to control its borders in furtherance of the common good. It also recognizes the right of human persons to migrate so that they can realize their God-given rights. I agree with the Catholics that these teachings complement each other. I understand you may not.
While the sovereign state may impose reasonable limits on immigration, the common good is not served when the basic human rights of the individual are violated. In the current condition of the world, in which global poverty and persecution are rampant, the presumption is that persons must migrate in order to support and protect themselves and that nations who are able to receive them should do so whenever possible. It is through this lens that the Church deals with the current migration reality between the United States and Mexico.

If you want to review this comprehensive approach and discuss, let me know.
I believe Jesus Christ is aware of everything. Were you trying to make some other point?
Well, if the law, as passed, even "could" be used to outlaw a hot meal and shelter for the night to an illegal alien, then I would hope all right-thinking and compassionate Americans "would" oppose that. Maybe not anymore.
Regardless of what inside knowledge you think any religious organization is opposing this proposed law, I am opposing it because it could be used to prosecute for accommodating illegal aliens at soup kitchens, shelters, and child-care services during events. I understand that others in the Church provide more in-depth help, but short of harboring a criminal, I believe that help should not be criminalized.
Good luck with that then.
You would support the government criminalizing "one hot meal and one night's shelter"? How about just offering them Holy Communion during service - would you support the government's right to criminalize that too?
Did you find the wording?
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
How do the Dem's abortion plans fit-in with the scriptures?
Christians should not harbor criminals.
Those that do are criminals and should expect to be treated as such.
It's as simple as that, which may be why liberals just don't get it.
Didn't I just say we should not harbor criminals? Perhaps you and I have different definitions - is "one hot meal and one night's shelter" harboring to you?
"Doesn't Luke Chapter 6, verse 29 say, 'To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt,'" she asked.
Then Hillary proceeded to vomit up the bones of a small child. /sarcasm
