Hillary Clinton Booed in Iowa

This has been a tough couple of weeks for Hillary, even with her single handedly ending the hostage crisis in her New Hampshire campaign headquarters. This all started with her inept answer to handing out driver’s licenses to illegals question at the debate, and she has continued to spiral downward among stories of her planting questions at her campaign stops, to her planting questions at the Republican debate. Dwindling poll numbers in early primary states must have the whole campaign staff on edge.

Her latest debacle came in Iowa, at an event where she was unable to attend because of weather, she had to call in instead. Then came a question about amnesty for illegals. Oh-oh.

The senator was asked if she would “make a decision to give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship” during her first 100 days in office. Clinton responded saying, “I have been favoring a plan to citizenship for years. I voted for it in the Senate, I have spoke out about it around Iowa and the country and in my campaign. And as president comprehensive immigration reform will be a high priority for me.”

This answer brought her some boos, but it got worse.

The man repeated his question about the first 100 days. Clinton replied, “Well you’ve to get congress to pass the legislation and the president to do as much as possible, which I will do.”

To which she received an even louder round of boos. The American people do not want anything to do with amnesty for illegals, yet all the Democrat candidates, and John McCain, support this policy.

This issue is a major issue in my opinion, and it is a major issue with the American people. Americans by and large don’t want to reward criminals who come across our borders by making them citizens. This is one big reason why we need to elect a Republican, other than John McCain or Mike Huckabee, for president next year. If we hand the whitehouse over to a Democrat, with a Democrat majority in the house and senate, it’s hello amnesty.

If Hillary, Obama, or Edwards is elected we will run the risk of losing our country to illegal immigrants. Amnesty will be granted and we won’t be able to stop it.

I only hope Americans will look at the big picture, and not let their dicontent for the Iraq war cloud their vision of our future. If they don’t we may head down a path we will never recover from.
