“This order was issued seven years by Mayor Ed Koch and reissued by my predecessor, Mayor Dinkins, and by me.” (emphasis mine)---Rudy Giuliani
If you come here and you work hard and you happen to be in an undocumented status, you're one of the people who we want in this city. You're somebody that we want to protect, and we want you to get out from under what is often a life of being like a fugitive, which is really unfair." ABC News August 8, 2007
---Rudy Giuliani
Yep, just another bad issue for Rudy - that quote there is sickening, btw - he needs just to get out of Fred Dalton Thompson’s way.
Kudos to Romney for thinning the herd. The sooner Rudy is booted from the primaries the better.
Rudy also said he opposed building a wall. He would be unable and/or unwilling to handle WOT. Our biggest threat comes from the open border and the illegal aliens and immigrants from enemy countries.
If Rudy thinks its critical for illegals to be protected from the Federal government as mayor, he won’t be eager to protect our borders as President.
Giuliani is a fraud. If he had said that he was wrong about his stance toward illegal immigration, and now after 9/11 he had changed his approach, I would at least have to give him points for admitting the mistake.
As it is, he’s shamelessly denying a matter of crystal-clear public record. His supporters keep citing his chutzpah as a positive — and this lie of his is brazen, all right. But as we saw with the ‘toon, brazen shamelessness combined with a willingness to lie and a complete lack of respect for Constitutional restraints is very dangerous.
Meanwhile, as the illustrious Dr. Phil says, you can’t change something you don’t acknowledge. Since he won’t admit that he took a wrong-headed and dangerous approach in NYC (which may have prevented us from stopping at least one of the 9/11 attackers), then what he’s telling us is that he will pursue the same policy as president.
Smart rhetoric from Mitt.
While I’m no Rudy supporter we need to take into consideration that he was Mayor of New York City. To think he could get elected in New York City as a conservative is not realistic. I just heard on Fox that Romney was not to rough on illegals when he was governor. I intend to let the chips fall where they may but job one for me is to make sure there is no President Hillary.
Gulian1 seems to understand the “broken window effect” perfectly well for most crimes but not for violations of immigration law.
That's a winning campaign slogan that the base can get behind. Good job, Romney. Very smart.
but what did romney do about illegals in massachusetts?

Romney just keeps looking better and better. I’ve got some friends that have come around to him. I mentioned him months ago to them and they didn’t even know who he was.
He said this yesterday?
Only to Libby CBS the rest of us want more of these types of attacks about the illegal issue.
