I feel Hillary did a good job of handling herself and most of all was able to answer questions with her version of the facts and not empty messages of O'Hope like O'Dope.
Enough with the cool-aid...
Cliton wants to have it both ways. She wants to portray herself as strong on terrorism, but will accept sanctuary cities. She believes that more illegal immigrants will report crime if they are not sent back to Mexico on a mule - this will help reduce crime rates. Then like a true democrat she acknowledged that many of these illegal immigrants are the ones that commit crime - huh? See why I'm not a democrat!
You ask how is this both ways? You cannot be tough on terror and be soft on illegal immigration - they go hand in hand. There has long been talk on the threat of terrorists infiltrating our country through the Swiss cheese like Mexican border. This is where most democrats miss the boat!
The crack down on our southern border has severely decreased the amount of illegal immigrants entering this country since 9/11. There are several contributing factors - but the extra vigilance is starting to act as a deterrence.
We can insert the democrat chorus here - the illegals contribute to the economy and help the work force....
From Fox News --
The downturn in illegal immigration has created labor shortages throughout the United States and several states are considering temporary-worker programs, especially in agricultural fields, where produce is going bad.
Mexicans in the U.S. are starting to send less money home, too.
Remittances soared in the early part of the decade to become Mexico's largest source of foreign income after oil exports. But they rose just 1 percent in 2007, reaching $24 billion and in the first quarter this year, they slipped almost 3 percent from the same period last year, Mexico's central bank said this week.

But this is not enough - the sanctuary cities If we got rid of the sanctuary cities this would be one less incentive for the illegal border jumpers to enter our country.
The guys at PIG correctly define Sanctuary Cities --
- SANCTUARY CITY, n.
A term that denotes a city which while 'technically' still part of the United States (umbilical to U.S. Treasury intact), it has been surrendered to the border jumping scumbag invaders who have transformed it into a third world cesspool. (link added)
Decreasing the amount of border jumpers also decreases the potential threat of terrorism from our southern border. Unless her head has been in the sand - it shows Hillary is unable to make the connection with terrorists and illegal immigrants in her dysfunctional democrap mind. It has long been established that terrorists are working with the Mexican drug cartels in the smuggling of money & drugs through the United States.
The traffickers from the drug cartels are becoming more violent in enforcing the established avenues of infiltration for their drugs - avenues that can be shared by & with Islamikaze terrorists!
David Johnson, assistant secretary for the INL, says that the illicit drug trade is directly linked to known terrorist groups in the Western Hemisphere and that these groups are employing terrorist tactics to traffic drugs into North America.
"These worrisome links have expanded to North America, and particularly in the case of some Mexican-based drug trafficking organizations,” Johnson said in a statement. “They have pushed past intimidation to employ terrorist tactics to enforce their drug trafficking monopolies on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.”
Johnson says the organizations have created a surge in violence that has claimed the lives of hundreds over the last several years and that the “future of democracy in the Western Hemisphere and our own (United States) national security interests are deeply and inextricably intertwined.” He called for the strengthening of regional cooperation to fight against the growing threat.
Because of the border crack down the drug cartels are becoming more creative in their ways of smuggling drugs into the United States - thus creating a continued national security threat.
From Drug Policy. Org --
Over the last two years, Colombian authorities and the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy have seized 13 submarine-like vessels outfitted for drug running. The five seized by American authorities were en route to Mexico or Central America, each loaded with 3 to 5 tons of cocaine.
The seizures point to a security threat that goes beyond drug trafficking. Many law enforcement officials are concerned that U.S. ports and shorelines could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks using such crudely built submarines.
"There could be 5 tons of anything on board these things," said a senior U.S. military official involved in the war on drugs. More...
If after reading this you are unable to see the potential danger posed by a porous border and creating safe havens - sanctuary cities - for the drug couriers & potential terrorists, please re-read the last sentence of the above U.S. military official.
Our next Commander in Chief or Comanderette in Chief must have a clear and objective outlook when dealing with immigration and the links with terrorism. If elected, clouded judgement like Hillary's may very well bring us a "Cloud" of fallout!
Really good points here.
