Basically, your complaint is that Rudy didn't crack down to your satisfaction on illegal aliens. Then that somehow gets twisted into claiming that Rudy turned NY into a haven for Islamic terrorism. The exact same logic could be applied to GWB.
My number one issue is NOT illegal immigration, except to the extent it specifically relates to stopping Islamists. My number one issue is winning the war in Iraq and the war against Islamists. That means that I will support Rudy Giuliani over any Democrat. Everyone is welcome to take a different view. But when people call me "ignorant" or "liar" because I refute or reject their assertions, I give as I get.
No it's not. It's hoping people see the REAL Rudy or if they do, quit ignoring or denying it altogether. If his policy suits you - fine. But don't deny it IS what it IS.
Rudy carried his city's sanctuary policy all the way to the Supreme Court defending it against the 1996 federal law that made it illegal for cities to prohibit their employees from cooperating with the INS.
Losing that challenge directly, as a "work around" he even suggested he'd offer those employees "early retirement" if they violated his sanctuary edict.
Rudy respects law only as RUDY sees law.
But his direct violation and contempt of federal immigration code is only one of the many aspects I see upon which to reject Rudy.
