"Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked the Bible yesterday to criticize a stringent border security measure that, among other things, would make it a federal crime to offer aid to illegal immigrants. "
"It is hard to believe that a Republican leadership that is constantly talking about values and about faith would put forth such a mean-spirited piece of legislation," she said of the measure, "It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself," she said. "We need to sound the alarm about what is being done in the Congress."
Hmmm. Her knowledge of the Bible doesn't seem too good. Or maybe it's her usage. She whips out the Bible at this time, but ignores it other times? That shows her conviction of the Bible. It's either all, or nothing, as we see in Rev 3:16. But what else can we see of her intimacy with the Bible?
"I am and always have been pro-choice, ..." (Source: New York Times, pg.A11 Jan 22, 2000)
"[Our] core beliefs and values can guide us in reaching our goal of keeping abortion safe, legal and rare into the next century." (Source: Remarks to NARAL, Washington DC Jan 22, 1999)
The Bible is clear on human life - it is sacred. And the Bible clearly identifies the developing child in the womb as a CHILD. So, the best verse to tie this together is Prov 6:16 - 17 "These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: ...... hands that shed innocent blood,..." What is an unborn child guilty of? Nothing, so it's innocent.
So we see that Hillary's Bible knowledge is very selective, she only pulls it out when it meets her needs, but ignores it when it's a hindrance, as with abortion.
Let's look at her other claims:
"..would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself.."
What she's talking about is a part in the security measure that "would make it a federal crime to offer aid to illegal immigrants. "
First things first. The good Samaritan was legally in the country. The man he helped was legally in the country. Jesus was legally in the country, and so were the people he helped.
Next. It would be "a federal crime to help illegal immigrants." That statement in itself should be explanatory, but let's look at it anyway. An "Illegal Immigrant" is an immigrant, someone who belongs to one country, but has come to another country. Illegal means "not legal." So an Illegal Immigrant is someone that is in a country against it's established laws. So they are breaking the law, they are a criminal.
What is it called when someone helps a criminal? It's "Aiding and abetting a criminal," which is a felony/misdemeanor.
Aiding and abetting a criminal
1. A criminal offense had been committed;
-(Coming into the country ILLEGALLY)
2. The defendant knowingly associated with the person who committed the crime;
3. The defendant participated in the crime as something he or she wished to bring about;
4. The defendant intended by his or her actions to make the crime succeed.
So, the measure that has Sen. Clinton upset, and inappropriately using the Bible is only making it clear of what is already taking place. People are coming into this country illegally, and other folks, including Local, State and Federal governments, are aiding and abetting them.
Now, I'm not against providing the basic human necessity to these folks, but they should be returned immediately to their own country, and discouraged from coming back unless it is legal. And their country should bear the cost of this activity, not the the offended country.
Finally, a comment from Dick Morris.
"Morris says there was more to Hillary Clinton's bible-themed immigration critique on Wednesday than meets the eye.
Blasting a GOP bill that would make illegal immigration a felony, Mrs. Clinton complained:
"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures. This bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
Morris tells NewsMax: "The woman who said that she was 'adamantly against' illegal aliens now compares them to Jesus.""
Blasphemy?
