WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton charged Wednesday that a House
GOP immigration bill would make her and her Senate aides criminals, and warned
of a "ticking time bomb" lurking in the U.S. economy.

Clinton's latest comments on the immigration debate in Congress follow earlier
remarks in which she said the bill, written by Reps. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.,
and Peter King, R-N.Y., would probably criminalize "even Jesus himself."

Speaking to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, she claimed her work on behalf
of New York constituents would run afoul of the House bill setting penalties
for anyone who knowingly assists or encourages illegal immigrants to remain here.

"I realize I would be a criminal, too. My staff would be criminal. We help people
with all kinds of problems," said Clinton, D-N.Y., prompting titters in the audience.
