Anything you can be incarcerated for, if found guilty, is a crime. 6 months incarceration is the penalty in the U.S. Statutes for coming across the border illegally for the first time. The sentence can get stiffer for repeated violations. Illegal aliens are, by definition, criminals.
Hmm, according to Romney's words in a 2005 Boston Globe interview, "That's very different than amnesty, where you literally say, 'OK, everybody here gets to stay,' " Romney said in the interview. "It's saying you could work your way into becoming a legal resident of the country by working here without taking benefits and then applying and then paying a fine."
The article goes on: Romney did not specifically endorse McCain's bill, saying he had not yet formulated a full position on immigration. But he did speak approvingly of efforts by McCain and Bush to solve the nation's immigration crisis, calling them "reasonable proposals."
Seems like he was for it before he was against it. That seems to happen often with Massachusetts politicians...
Must read. Ouch
McCain AND Rudy are toast.
Too Funny! Good job!
You know that everyone keys on the first few words. The technique you used is significantly misleading -- close enough to a lie to be called a lie, imo.
The Real Rudy Giuliani:
From Human Events:
Pro-Illegal Immigration
As Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics has pointed out, Rudy is an adherent of the same approach to illegal immigration that John McCain, Ted Kennedy, George Bush, and Harry Reid have championed: "While McCain has taken heat for his support of comprehensive immigration reform, Rudy is every bit as pro-immigration as McCain - if not more so. On the O'Reilly Factor last week Giuliani argued for a "practical approach" to immigration and cited his efforts as Mayor of New York City to "regularize" illegal immigrants by providing them with access to city services like public education to "make their lives reasonable." Giuliani did say that "a tremendous amount of money should be put into the physical security" needed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border, but his overall position on immigration is essentially indistinguishable from McCain's."
That's bad enough. But, as Michelle Malkin has revealed, under Giuliani, New York was an illegal alien sanctuary and "America's Mayor" actually sued the federal government in an effort to keep New York City employees from having to cooperate with the INS:
"When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law."
If you agree with the way that Nancy Pelosi and Company deal with illegal immigration, then you'll find the way that Rudy Giuliani tackles the issue to be right down your alley.

I can’t help it if you’re too lazy to read to the end of a sentence.
Not really.
We need to send the former Mayor a half-million copies of Funk & Wagnalls.
He would have made an comedic character on Laugh In.
Hey ... once your start you can't stop, can you?
Credit where credit is do.
That’s a funny picture.
You betcha!
“Can anyone explain this to me?”
Only with illogical, circular logic. It’s like voting for the bill, before you vote against it.
Ask the mod to put 2006 at the beginning of the sentence if your tender sensibilities are so injured.
