".....For the sake of immigrants and native-born Americans alike, it’s time to decide what our immigration policy is—and enforce it....."

Rudy's speech in Newport Beach, California last month:

On immigration, he told reporters he doesn't support amnesty for illegal immigrants, but he could support a guest worker program if there were adequate border security and tamper-proof ID cards. He said that even if illegal immigrants "can demonstrate that they are lawful, that they are paying taxes [and] that they'll pay penalties," they still shouldn't be put ahead of people who go through legal channels.

"And citizenship here, if it's earned, should be premised on being able to read and write English and understand American history, so we restore assimilation to the process of immigration," he said.

Giuliani is racking up an impressive list of Orange County GOP supporters, but not everyone laughing and raising their glasses to him Saturday has pledged their full support.

"I want to see how this all shakes out," said Dana Point Mayor Diane Harkey, who hasn't endorsed a presidential candidate. "I like Rudy Giuliani. I think he can carry New York, which is huge for the Republican party."

Six days later, several visa-overstayers participated in the most devastating attack on the city and the country in history.

Rudys position now is like putting the toothpaste back in the tube.

Rudy’ sure changed his tune, eh?

The problem is that he has a track record of ignoring and refusing to enforce laws he disagrees with, even when he loses in court. This one fact in and of itself, IMHO, makes him completely unfit for POTUS, whose primary responsibility it to enforce the laws enacted by congress, even the ones he disagrees with.

Rudy’s idea of “adequate border security” is the “virtual fence”. Which is no fence.
