Ilegal aliens and the Good Samaritan ....

Speaking of politics and religion - which, along with sex & college football are things you should never, ever discuss in a social setting - Hillary Clinton decided to demonstrate her Bible knowledge in front of the entire US Senate this week.

Hillary has decided she doesn't want Congress to pass legislation restricting illegal immigration (what she really said was that Congress was trying to turn "undocumented aliens" into criminals.

Seems to me, if the law says that you must be documented to come into the country, and you aren't documented, then you are here illegally and, further, if you're doing something illegal you are, by definition, a criminal.

But Hillary also said that, based on the proposed law in question, the Congress would have made criminals of Jesus and the Good Samaritan, too.

We all know, of course, that Hillary would never make a Bible reference just to win the favor of voters in the Bible belt, but ..... I don't think Jesus ever traveled far enough from home or stayed long enough in one place to be considered an illegal anything. I'm also pretty sure that he never had a counterfeit green card or avoided rendering unto Caeser by getting paid in cash under the table to avoid taxes.

As for the Good Samaritan, if Hillary were to read the story again she would learn that the Good Samaritan was just passing through. I don't think anyone is opposed to folks who are just passing through any more than they are to those who are here legally.

Of course, it is an election year, doncha' know .....
