"I think it's a done thing, and the best we can hope for at this point is deportation of criminals, prosecution of employers and defence of the border, because amnesty won't solve any of those problems, they'll keep coming. Solely in the context of that issue, which is a law enforcement issue, I don't see Rudy at a disadvantage."
Rudy wasn't big on enforcing all the laws. Under Rudy as Mayor New York was an illegal sanctuary city.
He continued a policy of preventing city employees from contacting INS about immigration violations. He actually sued the Federal government to support his lax (non-existent) enforcement of immigration laws and ordered city attorneys to defend this policy in federal court. He has also expressed doubt that the federal government can stop illegal immigration. He might have been great at getting the panhandlers and hot dog vendor's off the street, but when it came to enforcing tough laws, he was more a conciliator than an enforcer. There is no reason to believe he would be any tougher at enforcing immigration laws as President. As far as the invasion of our Country by illegal aliens, Rudy would be a disaster.

My point was that the issue, still, will be law enforcement, not amnesty which will be a fait accompli. Giuliani has a lot of questions to answer.

Anyone who is pro illegal aliens is a disaster when it comes to WOT. Our biggest threat is the open border and the amnesty proposal.
