From the Paper:

"However, there is a group that considers these arguments myth and propaganda based on irrelevant issues. Those who oppose harsh laws against the illegal immigrants comprise a number of Democrats who argue that Republicans are trying to create a police state by being unfair and harsh towards the people who are trying to prove themselves as good US citizens. Senator Hillary Clinton also spoke against such laws. "The senator also sent a four-page public letter to constituents and said she does support allowing at least some of the estimated 11 million undocumented workers to earn citizenship. Such changes should include 'a path to earned citizenship for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes, respecting the law, and willing to meet a high bar for becoming a citizen,' Clinton wrote" ('Sen. Clinton Blasts', pars. 6,7)."
