An Indiana Reader Says Hillary
Clinton May Yet Become An Immigration Reformer

Re: Sam Francis’ Column:
That Hillary Immigration Ploy, [December 27, 2004]
Regarding Francis’s article and Don Collins’ related
piece “Disappointed
Democrat Wishes Hillary Could Get Immigration Reform
Right,” I suspect that Hillary may be keeping quiet
on immigration for the time being because she wants to
keep her options open to pivot very far to the right in
the general election.
If
Rudy Giuliani wins the
Republican nomination, Hillary will be able to
handily outflank him on this issue. If Clinton speaks
in detail about her plans for immigration now, she will
only aggravate the liberal Democratic base or tie her
hands in the general election with promises made in the
days leading up to the primaries.
While I certainly don't see Clinton as a white knight
for
border control, she has more credibility on this
issue than Giuliani,
John McCain or
Mitt Romney.
The Democratic administration did a better job of
controlling illegal immigration that the Bush
administration. And that was in the 1990s before the
pro-illegal alien lobby had such an organized and vocal
movement.
Parrott is a business
analyst and a college student. He writes that he hopes
his two daughters will have “a childhood as idyllic
and devoid of gang violence as my own in the small town
of Paoli, Indiana.”
