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?

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.

HIT THIS AND HIT IT HARD. RUDY JUST COMMITTED THE WORST FLAW OF HIS CAMPAIGN TO DATE.

I used the words, “Benito Giuliani” in this thread, and there were no flaming retaliations. Things must be pretty cleaned-up around here.

Ahhhhh, Free Republic...peace, quiet, nirvana!

Not only that, but in the June 2005 National Review Online interview with Fred Siegel (big Rudy-booster and fan, author of 'Prince of the City'), Kathyrn Jean Lopez asked the following question:

Q - "How did Giuliani's immigration policy contribute to our 9/11 intelligence failure?"

Siegel: "Giuliani's lax policy on immigration helped allow several of the hijackers to operate comfortably in Brooklyn only a few blocks from my house."

So due to Giuliani's FAILURE to enforce the law, he actually helped *enable* some of the 9/11 hijackers to carry out their mission.

Let the word go out.
