Okay.
So Rudy had no problem not cutting welfare if it affected immigrants...and I have no doubt, considering his sanctuary city policy, that many of them might have been illegals.
“Rudy fought to keep welfare for immigrants” ping.
Were they illegals? You be the judge.
>impose financial pain on cities like New York
There you go.
Rudy Giuliani, fiscal conservative.
Unless it's federal tax dollars, and then you'd better keep sloppin' the hawgs...
Haven’t you heard? 911 changed Rudy. He became a conservative weeks ago! :-)
Legal or illegal (I know, you need a scorecard or thesauraus when deciphering such articles) the article is a good argument for the proposition that we should seek & allow entry to new citizens who contribute to our society, rather than become public charges.
I know it’s a novel argument: that we give immigration preference to youngsters, at least high school grads with job skills and no criminal records, rather than unemployable, ailing undesirables, then their families.
I’m just sayin’ . . .
Freepmail me to be added or removed from this ping list.
Rudy is pro illegal immigration all the way!!
Related and all in Rooty’s own words. Rooty proves once and for all that he is to the LEFT of Clinton!
“There has been a lot of anger, confusion and distortion about immigration. But most Americans, with their basic sense of fairness, will be able to see the unfair and possibly unconstitutional way that immigrants are being treated by the welfare and anti-immigration bills.
” “Executive Order 124” protects undocumented immigrants in New York City from being reported to the I.N.S. While they are using City services that are critical for their health and safety, and for the health and safety of the entire city.
“ Similarly, illegal and undocumented immigrants should be able to seek medical help without the threat of being reported..
“The federal government’s effort to overturn “Executive Order 124” is not only bad policy, it is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. It is my opinion that the new law is unfair because discriminates based on immigration status.
Much much more at link.
