Lats I checked, all the 9-11 hijackers entered legally. Hey, I am no fan of breaking the immigration laws of this country, but then again, I speed everyday on the way to the office. Now, for illegals who break other laws or end up on public assistance...there is the door. But we do need a system that enables the US to import the temporary workers that just about every industry says it needs in order to expand economically.
Regardless of how they entered, 6 of the hijackers were illegally here on 911. Rudy's sanctuary policy would have provided them with sanctuary in NYC for as long as they wanted. BTW, Rudy's sanctuary policy was itself illegal and Rudy's attempts to get a court to allow them were slapped down. Even then, Rudy said he would continue the policy in defiance of Federal law and the Orders of two Federal Courts.
Law and Order my patoot.
