Hillary! as Theologian

The First-lady turned Senator vowed to "block legislation seeking to criminalize undocumented immigrants."
Clinton renewed her pledge to oppose a bill passed in December by the House that would make unlawful presence in the United States _ currently a civil offense _ a felony. The Senate is set to consider a version of that legislation, as well as several other bills seeking to address the seemingly intractable issue of immigration reform.

Surrounded by a multicultural coalition of New York immigration advocates, Clinton blasted the House bill as "mean-spirited" and said it flew in the face of Republicans' stated support for faith and values.

"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures," Clinton said, "because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
What do The Good Samaritan and Jesus have to do with illegal immigration? She must have some understanding of the scriptures. I never knew that the Good Samaritan was an illegal alien. I could have sworn that Jesus taught that we should obey the law. And didn't he get arrested at the behest of the Jewish priests?
