Sen. Clinton slams GOP immigration bill
By Devlin Barrett, Associated Press Writer | March 8, 2006
WASHINGTON --Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential White
House candidate in 2008, said Wednesday some Republicans are
trying to create a "police state" to round up illegal
immigrants.
Clinton, D-N.Y., spoke out on the U.S. immigration policy
after largely staying away from an issue that has roiled
Congress in recent months and spurred a number of
conflicting proposals.
Speaking at a rally of Irish immigrants, Clinton criticized
a bill the House passed in December that would impose
harsher penalties for undocumented workers.
"Don't turn your backs on what made this country great," she
said, calling the measure "a rebuke to what America stands
for."
The House measure would make unlawful presence in the United
States, which is currently a civil offense, a felony.
Clinton said it would be "an unworkable scheme to try to
deport 11 million people, which you have to have a police
state to try to do."
She called instead for immigration changes "based on
strengthening our borders in order to make us safer from the
threat of terrorism."
The senator also sent a four-page public letter to
constituents outlining her views on immigration. In the
letter, she shied away from specifics but said she does
support allowing at least some of the estimated 11 million
undocumented workers to earn citizenship.
Such changes should include "a path to earned citizenship
for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes,
respecting the law, and willing to meet a high bar for
becoming a citizen," Clinton wrote.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa.,
has offered legislation that would create separate worker
programs: one for illegal immigrants already in the country
and another for future immigrant workers.
President Bush has argued for a temporary worker program
that would allow illegal immigrants to keep their jobs in
hotels, restaurants, nurseries, agriculture and other
businesses that depend on low-wage laborers.
Neither effort has gained much momentum, partly due to
fierce resistance from others within the GOP.
Last week Specter said emotions on the immigration issue are
running high and he has seen "virtually no agreement on
anything."

Waco Documents Lead To First Lady

Hillary Clinton's office was on the receiving end of
documents relating to April 1993 siege at Waco!
That was the startling claim made by WACO filmmaker Michael
McNulty this weekend.
"Let's look at the chain of command in the series of events
[on April 19th]," McNulty said during an interview aired
this weekend on FOX NEWS CHANNEL's DRUDGE.
"And the trail goes from Waco to the Justice Department.
Well, actually, first to the FBI headquarters, and then from
there, across the street, literally across the street to the
Justice Department into Mr. Webb Hubbell's ears and out Mr.
Hubbell's mouth to Mr. Foster in the White House.
McNulty, whose first film WACO: RULES OF ENGAGEMENT was
nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature,
continued: "And then we find the trail of documents that
we'll be talking about more later that leads to one place,
and that's the first lady's office."
Why would Hillary Rodham Clinton's office have been on the
receiving end of documents relating to the Waco siege?
What was First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's role in Waco,
if any? McNulty refused to elaborate on his discovery.
[One source close to the situation tells the DRUDGE REPORT
that at least 3 documents removed from Vince Foster's office
the night he died pertained to Waco.]
For years, McNulty accused the government of lying about its
actions during the seven-week confrontation with Branch
Davidians that ended in fiery tragedy.
Finally last week, after years of denials, McNulty was
vindicated when the government admitted that it did use
pyrotechnic devices the day the compound burned down,
killing David Koresh and about 80 followers. The Justice
Department was forced to modify its claims after McNulty
found physical evidence to the contrary. The evidence one
pyrotechnic shell and a photograph of another shell that had
been misidentified will be featured in the Fort Collins,
Colo., resident's second film WACO: A NEW REVELATION, to be
released this fall.
"Getting answers is satisfying, but it will be much more
satisfying when the people who are responsible are in
prison," McNulty told the ASSOCIATED PRESS in an interview.
"All of this is not about Mike McNulty, or the films that
have been done, or about selling the films. It's about
finding the truth."
