He described his exasperation with the immigration authorities as mayor: “I had the police go after drug dealers, and I told the immigration authorities, ‘I got a couple hundred drug dealers you can deport, why don’t you put ’em first?’

My gawd. JimRob and moderators, please grant me dispensation here. WHAT A LYING SACK OF SH**. Rudy FOUGHT the FEDS to prevent that kind of conversation from EVER HAPPENING by defending NYC's sanctuary city policy. And now he has the UNMITIGATED NERVE to push this fictional claim?

So they don’t want Benito Giuliani’s pro-illegal platform, either, and he’s too Hillary on all of the other important issues. Why am I not surprised?

From the article:

“Dignity” came up again in his discussion of immigration, where Giuliani suggested his measuring stick for whether he wanted to eject someone here illegally was whether or not they were working hard, willing to pay taxes and back fines and fees, and whether they were supporting their families.

He described his exasperation with the immigration authorities as mayor: “I had the police go after drug dealers, and I told the immigration authorities, ‘I got a couple hundred drug dealers you can deport, why don’t you put ’em first?’ And they said, ‘Well, we have this professor who overstayed his visa, he’s first on line. We have two people working in the back of a restaurant. We have three guys in the construction business. We have a guy who drives a van.’ Now you can debate whether these guys are good for the economy — I think they are, but you can have a nice debate about it — but I said, ‘Hey, I got drug dealers, pal. They’re not good for anybody! They’ve got no interest in paying taxes, not trying to make better life for their family, they’re trying to kill people!’ They said, ‘We have our priorities.’ Basically, the problem was too big.”

Rudy was the Rudy we’ve all seen before, invoking Reagan at every opportunity and not only using “optimistic” frequently, but actually demonstrating optimism, as when he said the illegal immigration debate was an illustration of an unrecognized greatness of America:

“Dignity” is not a word commonly heard on the campaign trail, but speaking before a group that included a healthy amount of small business owners and entrepreneurs, Giuliani more or less portrayed it as the centerpiece of his campaign.

My gawd. This is the biggest lie Rudy has told to date. HE FRIGGIN' FOUGHT THE FEDS TO NOT TELL THEM THAT THESE DRUG DEALERS WERE ILLEGALS.

THIS IS A F*** UP FAR BIGGER THAN HIS ABORTION FUNDING IS A RIGHT CLAIM.

OK, A51. Rudy has just been caught in the biggest lie of his political career. Do you have the guts to call him on it?

Someone has the definitive anti-Rudy ping list, but I’ll be glad to add you to my personal one of Sith lords. You are now Darth Kent.

MY JADED COLLECTION OF HISTORY?

It is well established fact that Rudy fought federal law and federal court orders to maintain NYC's sanctuary city policy. In other words, no city worker could ask about ANYONE'S immigration status.

Smoke that, weasel-boy.

Read this and read it well, Darth Insidious.

Rudy just stepped in his own cow pile here.

“I had the police go after drug dealers, and I told the immigration authorities, ‘I got a couple hundred drug dealers you can deport, why don’t you put ’em first?’

It looks like Rudee wanted to simply deport illegal alien drug dealers instead of allowing them to grow old in prison before deporting them?

What’s the deal here.....illegal aliens who happen to be drug dealers.......or drug dealers who happen to be illegal aliens?
