Someone should tell Hillary that being an illegal alien has already been criminalized.....

And here's the specific text you have in mind.

She declared that Republican efforts to criminalize undocumented workers and their support networks "would literally criminalize the good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."

I saw a clip of that speech on Lou Dobbs' show last night. It looks to me as if Post got it slightly wrong. Her comments about the good Samaritan were about criminalizing helping immigrants only. Not about whether illegal immigration is illegal. I have seen nothing yet that suggests helping such immigrants is criminalized at the moment.

Negligent reporting.
