Sen. Clinton slams GOP immigration bill Clinton, D-N.Y., spoke out on the U.S. immigration policy after largely staying away from an issue that has roiled Congress in recent months and spurred a number of conflicting proposals. Speaking at a rally of Irish immigrants, Clinton criticized a bill the House passed in December that would impose harsher penalties for undocumented workers. "Don't turn your backs on what made this country great," she said, calling the measure "a rebuke to what America stands for." The House measure would make unlawful presence in the United States, which is currently a civil offense, a felony. Clinton said it would be "an unworkable scheme to try to deport 11 million people, which you have to have a police state to try to do." She called instead for immigration changes "based on strengthening our borders in order to make us safer from the threat of terrorism." The senator also sent a four-page public letter to constituents outlining her views on immigration. In the letter, she shied away from specifics but said she does support allowing at least some of the estimated 11 million undocumented workers to earn citizenship. boston.com
