Illegal immigration and Jesus?
Hillary voiced her opposition to a House measure subjecting illegal aliens and those who hire them to criminal penalties saying we would need a "police state" to round up illegal immigrants, and that "is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures, because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably Jesus Himself."
The quote has been taken out of context purposely by many on the right who try to paint her comment as evidence that she said immigration reform was anti-Christian. That's not what she said, and attempts to portray it as though she did are cynically partisan.
Also, it seems that there is a big distinction between her saying that you would have to have a “police state” to enact this legislation, and that they are trying to create a “police state” by passing this legislation. The first is what she actually says; the second is an interpretation intended to portray the comment as more extreme than it actually is. This shows that the media will mischaracterize actual events to make their points by distorting what was said by taking the clips out of the context of the actual discussion.
