Hillary Flip Flops on Immigration!!!
Hillary cannot keep her story straight on immigration. In Miami Hillary now supports President Bush’s amnesty plan. Clinton also supports the guest worker program that fellow Democratic Congressman Rangel refers to as a step above slave labor. Like the Iraq war Hillary is all over the board telling everyone whatever they want to hear. We all know now Hillary cannot say no to the lobbyist money changers in Washington.Do you think Hillary can get elected with being all over the place on key issues?
NYS-MIAMI — As Senator Clinton prepares to face off with many of her Democratic rivals today, she aligned herself directly with President Bush on the issue of immigration, using a campaign stop in South Florida to highlight a rare point of agreement with an administration that she criticizes at every turn.
Speaking to about 300 community leaders in an area with a large immigrant population, Mrs. Clinton staked out a centrist position on the hot-button topic, saying she supported a “pathway to legalization” for the nation’s 11 million to 12 million estimated undocumented immigrants, but only if they waited in line and paid fines. She described her stance as “basically” what the president has proposed.
“I think, on this issue, the president is right,” Mrs. Clinton said.
Immigration is one of few areas where Mr. Bush may find common ground with the Democratic Congress, but Mrs. Clinton’s frank characterization was unusual in a presidential campaign in which even Republican contenders are distancing themselves from the White House on some issues.It comes a day before the Democrats gather in Carson City, Nev., for the first candidate forum of the 2008 race. The event could yield the sharpest distinctions yet among a crowded field of hopefuls, but the candidates are not expected to meet face to face. Instead, they will take questions individually from ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, who rose to prominence as a top adviser to President Clinton when he ran for the White House in 1992. The forum will also be missing one of the early front-runners for the nomination, Senator Obama, who will be campaigning in Iowa instead.
Iraq and health care have dominated the early Democratic race, but immigration could loom large when it comes up for debate in Congress, where five of the party’s White House contenders may have to cast votes. Another candidate, Governor Richardson of New Mexico — a border state — supports a guest-worker program but staunchly opposes the construction of a physical fence.
John,
The NYSun is a tabloid paper. You might want to check this out with a more legitimate source. The sun has a reputation of making up stories.

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT HILLARY?
This article demonstrates how lost Hillary is about the economy. The economy is growing but it is due to the exploitation of workers here and abroad. Yet she cannot say that because it will dry up her donations for the LOBBYIST!!!!
FROM PALMBEACHPOST
Hillary said the problem is “we’re stalled. We’re not dealing with the problems that everyday Americans face.” The Bush administration has failed to “keep our economy growing
Clinton said she does agree with President Bush on the issue of illegal immigration. Both say they want secure borders and a plan to allow workers already in this country to obtain legal status under strict guidelines.
John,
Hillary isn’t my first choice. Right now I’m undecided but sometimes she does good things and sometimes she does bad. I’ll defend her if she needs it and I won’t if she screws up.
John,
Also, how can you support any Republican at this juncture. The frontrunners all are in agreement with Bush.
NO I do NOT !!!!
We need a good third party candidate!!!!

How can you trust anything Hillary says?
She is like McCain a new story everyday!
The sad part is I had respect for McCain before he was all over the place.
No, we just need Ron Paul.
Has anyone in this crowd read “Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail?
Jean Raspail—Our Cassandra

Here’s a brief quote from this article:
“After just a few pages, I knew that I was in the presence of one of the tiny handful of thinkers and writers who have grasped the demonically suicidal psychology of what is left of the West, but one who has laid it out more fully and accurately than anyone else—with the sole exception of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (whom Raspail quotes in one of the three epigraphs to the novel).”
I do hope you read the entire very brief review. It’s well laden with hyperlinks that will add much! This will help you all understand why I focus on this issue – if we lose this battle, all is indeed lost. Please read the article!
John,
I’d have to agree with you w/r/t McCain. She is sounding a lot like him isn’t she?

They both sound like all they do is tailor comments after doing focus groups! I hope people see the manipulation!
I frankly don’t know if any of the front runners are really grounded on anything. Obama seems the most consistent. And I’m going to make sure he can’t go anywhere with health care
But of course I’m voting for Ron Paul.
