End Sanctuary for Illegal Immigrants by Michelle Malkin (September 24, 2002) What does fighting terrorism have to do with stemming massive illegal immigration? Much more than government officials have been willing to let on over the past year. When September 11 hijackers Hani Hanjour and Khalid Almihdhar needed help getting fraudulent government-issued photo IDs before embarking on their suicide mission, they hopped into a van and headed to the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store in Falls Church, Va. That's where scores of migrant day laborers -- the kind whom immigration advocates refer to as "undocumented" -- gather to find...

Rudy Giuliani, Immigration Liberal We've been keeping a close eye on all the recent talk about Rudy Giuliani's attempts to bring some level of conservative nuance to his essentially liberal social positions on abortion, gay rights and gun control as he pursues the Republican nomination. But what about immigration? Giuliani strongly supported a guest worker program supported by President Bush and said during a newly interesting appearance on Meet the Press the following: "There isn't a mayor or a public official in this country that's more strongly pro-immigrant than I am, including disagreeing with President Clinton when he signed an...

Giuliani should drop out now Posted Wednesday, February 23 2005 03:10:50 am By Abraham Sisson Senior Columnist Americans elected George W. Bush to a second term on November 2nd, but it was even before that when pundits first started predicting who the key players would be in the 2008 election. For the Democrats, the answer seems clear. A recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll showed Hillary Clinton leading the field with a whopping 40 percent, a full 15 percentage points ahead of John Kerry, who is currently in second place. For Republicans, however, the answer seems less obvious. According to the same...

March 3, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - Rudy Giuliani's liberal stance on abortion, guns and gays wasn't his biggest problem yesterday as he addressed a conference of conservative activists - it was his having dressed in drag. A whisper campaign targeting the front-running GOP White House contender's cross-dressing stunts at gala political dinners in New York and on "Saturday Night Live" was the hot topic among right-leaning activists.

Rudy Giuliani: The Knight and ‘The Queen’ According to The London Times, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani gives kisses before he leaves every morning, but to neither his estranged wife, nor his girlfriend. Instead, says The Times, “Sir Rudy” gives a peck on the cheek to the two homosexual men he’s living with. “We always get a little kiss, it’s cute,” says wealthy car dealer Howard Koeppel, with whom Giuliani has been sharing an apartment since June. When Giuliani was recently knighted, Koeppel tells The Times that he told “Sir Rudy” to call him “Queen Howard.” Koeppel (63) and...

Giuliani-Appointed Judges Tend to Lean to the Left By: Ben Smith February 28, 2007 06:30 PM EST When Rudy Giuliani faces Republicans concerned about his support of gay rights and legal abortion, he reassures them that he is a conservative on the decisions that matter most. "I would want judges who are strict constructionists because I am," he told South Carolina Republicans last month. "Those are the kinds of justices I would appoint -- Scalia, Alito and Roberts." But most of Giuliani's judicial appointments during his eight years as mayor of New York were hardly in the model of Chief...

Giuliani Accused Of 'Notorious Adultery' NEW YORK, June 21, 2002 (AP) Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's estranged wife has filed for divorce, citing adultery. The filing by Donna Hanover, 52, came more than a year and a half after Giuliani filed to divorce her, citing cruel and inhuman treatment. Hanover's lawyer, Helene Brezinsky, said her client rejected the grounds on which Giuliani's divorce was based. "If there's going to be a divorce, let's have the truth about why — Rudy's open and notorious adultery," she said. Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel replied: "There is no purpose in responding to this mudslinging." Hanover's...

WASHINGTON - Rudy Giuliani came out yesterday against President Bush's call for a ban on gay marriage. The former mayor, who Vice President Cheney joked the other night is after his job, vigorously defended the President on his post-9/11 leadership but made clear he disagrees with Bush's proposal to rewrite the Constitution to outlaw gays and lesbians from tying the knot. "I don't think it's ripe for decision at this point," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I certainly wouldn't support [a ban] at this time," added Giuliani, who lived with a gay Manhattan couple when he moved out...
