To paraphrase the Gipper, “there she goes again.” Hillary opens mouth, inserts foot (via Confederate Yankee from the Boston Globe)
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.
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.
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.

- I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
She isn’t helping her 16% with this one.
