Clinton: Don't Criminalize Jesus

[Dr. Shane]

Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants

Clinton renewed her pledge to oppose a bill passed in December by the House that would make unlawful presence in the United States _ currently a civil offense _ a felony. The Senate is set to consider a version of that legislation, as well as several other bills seeking to address the seemingly intractable issue of immigration reform.

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," Clinton said, "because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."

I am opposed to this bill to but I would not use Jesus to support my position. My concern is that if it is a felon, those of us that accidently help an illegal alien can be charged with aiding a felon. Many of us along the border, especially in religious circles, help out these people with clothing, food, shelter and transportation. The church shouldn't have to ask for papers from those they help.

Hmmm... Good point.
