Isn't he the one that signed NAFTA into law and gave Amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants when he was President? I find it weird that his wife is running for President, was pro-Amnesty and found that the voters didn't like that and switch to an anti-Amnesty stance.... I find it weird that the Clinton family has been the opposite of society's sentiment on Amnesty and job security before it became an issue, yet nobody ever talks about it. She is running higher in polls then other candidates... Do we forget that easy what happened only eight years ago?

A lot of liberals conveniently forget a lot of things about Bill and Hillary Clinton. Like Travelgate. Remember that? Seven longtime White House employees were fired by the Clintons and they hired their friends to handle travel arrangements and business expenses. The FBI got involved. They had to re-hire the employees in other positions. It was a mess! They are two of the THE MOST crooked people in America.

Gee, I dunnow. Maybe Bill Clinton isn't running for President, and maybe his views aren't 100% with Hillary's?

FACTS:

The last sweeping "amnesty" bill was 1986, when "bestest Republican President in the whole world," Ronnie Reagan, was President.

Bill Clinton signed a border crackdown bill in 1996.


When oh WHEN will you people stop trying to deflect everything onto Bill Clinton, when the very precedent for "amnesty" was signed by your boy Reagan?

Yup. The Clintons had just barely moved in and they began their underhanded way. And amnesty will be granted to illegals under Hillary, no doubt about it. While I do think that minor children who are attending public schools should be afforded the same education as anyone else while they ARE here, we should still be rounding up the parents and sending them home. Yes, the kids have to go also. But only if mom and dad are sent back. (Sorry, I still believe they deserve education )

Yes, I think it's fair to assume (I know what assume means) that Bill and Hillary feel the same ~ think the same; why else would she throw his name around like she does?

And let's get all the facts out about "Ronnie" ~

In 1986, there were about 2.5 million illegal aliens in the U.S. who Congress and the Reagan administration regarded as being “safe” – that is, not having committed serious crimes or otherwise being dangerous, and having sufficient ties to American life to be allowed to remain here. Many members of Congress, chiefly Democratic members, regarded the amnesty of these illegal aliens a sine qua non of any attempt to reform our immigration laws. Reagan recognized this, and, being the optimist that he was, saw something humane and profitable in affording this relatively small group of illegal aliens legal status.


In exchange for legal status for the group, Reagan insisted that the magnet attracting illegal aliens to the United States be removed by extinguishing any incentive for U.S. employers to hire illegal aliens. In tandem with the amnesty, Reagan campaigned for employer sanctions for hiring illegal aliens, sanctions so stringent that many at the time regarded them as draconian.

Reagan reasoned that if an employer were fined for hiring an illegal alien (as much as $1 million in the worst cases), any payroll savings achieved by the hiring would be wiped out by the fine. In effect, it would be more expensive to hire illegal aliens than to hire Americans or lawful permanent residents. The few illegal aliens who continued to take the gamble and cross the border would be intercepted by a robust and more generously funded Border Patrol.
