here's an interview he did on the topic with regards to how NYC conducted itself:

Which states and local governments are using their police to actively round up illegals - at schools, emergency rooms - to set them up for INS deportation? are they doing it anywhere in the country (except for Arpaio in Arizona)? show me a conservative state that does it.

You've deliberately mis-characterized the Giuliani administration's approach to illegal immigrants, which pretty much confirms to me that you've tossed all objectivity and principles aside in your attempt to defend him.

Nobody has ever expected a city to have their police officers function as immigration authorities -- rounding up illegal aliens in hospitals, schools, etc. What Giuliani did went far beyond simply keeping NYPD officers from working as immigration agents . . . he also prohibited all city employees from even reporting illegal aliens to Federal immigration authorities whenever these people interacted with public officials in any way -- as students in schools, patients in hospitals, CRIMINALS ARRESTED BY THE POLICE, etc.
