Saying that she is strongly opposed to "illegal immigrants," New York Sen. Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday that she would support a national identification card for U.S. citizens if other measures to keep illegals out of the country failed.

"I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants," Clinton told WABC Radio's John Gambling. Then, a few moments later, the Democratic Party presidential frontrunner added, "We might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens."

Clinton said she would support a national ID card as part of an overall effort to improve the U.S.'s national security.

"Clearly we have to make some tough decisions as a country," the top Democrat warned. "And one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry and exit system so that if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them."

Asked specifically if she favored a national identification system, Clinton said she would support "at least a visa ID, some kind of an entry and exit ID. And, you know, perhaps, although I'm not a big fan of it, we might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens."

Sen. Clinton, whose husband opened the floodgates to illegal immigrants in 1996 in hopes of naturalizing them in time for that year's presidential election, complained that too many Americans were employing illegals.

"People have to stop employing illegal immigrants," she told WABC. "I mean, come up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and Nassau Counties, stand in the street corners in Brooklyn or the Bronx (and) you're going to see loads of people waiting to get picked up to go do yard work and construction work and domestic work. You know, this is not a problem that the people coming into the country are solely responsible for. They wouldn't be coming if we didn't put them to work."

I see she doesn't say how she imagines how national id cards "even for citizens" would stop illegal immigration.

Well, she backed off on the licenses for illegals quick enough. Wonder what "big government" ideas she'll come up with next?

I think it was after the Gov'na of New York decided to drop the NY Driver's License for illegals idea. Maybe she actually read some of the poll figures, too, because she seems to have awakened to the fact that most people in the US are NOT in favor is illegal immigration. Like others, I've tried to find something good to say about Hillary, but frankly - I give up. Can't find anything I can agree with her on.

I still don't trust Hillary any farther than I can throw a loaded truck.

when did she become opposed to illegal immigrants?

When it became a politically expedient way to require national IDs for citizens. Don't let her hemming and hawing fool you... this woman has a very clear plan -- and I've no doubt that national IDs have long been part of it.
