You are very loose with the interpretations, aren't you? Fred Thompson has never suggested a "safe haven" for illegal border invaders, as Rudy did in New York City. FT also wants to secure the borders.
He also identifies a marriage as "between and man and a woman" but so far I have not heard where Thompson thinks a homosexual civil union is completely acceptable, as Julie-Annie does.
The first question from the crowd was regarding (no surprise) Illegal Immigration. Rudy essentially gave three steps that need to be enacted in any immigration reform legislation. The first step is to seal the borders. Secondly, there needs to be a mechanism for those who are here illegally to come forward so that we can identify who they are and screen them for criminals and potential terrorists. Thirdly, any immigration reform measure would have to included an English language requirement to foster assimilation into American Culture.
SECOND on Gay Marriage both Fred and Rudy are opposed - but Fred said that civil unions should go to the states.
