RINO fight! RINO fight!
Except Rudy loses this one in the end - after all, he sued up to the Supremes to keep NYC's sanctuary city policy in defiance of federal law - and then he turned around and defied the courts when they upheld the law.
‘At least the top placing GOP candidates are making attempts to appeal to the majority of Americans.’
Haven’t you heard? Mel Martinez at RNC headquarters doesn’t need no stinkin majority of Americans....(eyes rolling)

“Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani sued all the way up to the Supreme Court to defend the city’s sanctuary policy against a 1996 federal law decreeing that cities could not prohibit their employees from cooperating with the INS. Oh yeah? said Giuliani; just watch me. The INS, he claimed, with what turned out to be grotesque irony, only aims to “terrorize people.” Though he lost in court, he remained defiant to the end. On September 5, 2001, his handpicked charter-revision committee ruled that New York could still require that its employees keep immigration information confidential to preserve trust between immigrants and government. Six days later, several visa-overstayers participated in the most devastating attack on the city and the country in history.”
I agree. Uberconservatives here won’t give them credit for anything, but they are clearly speaking to the issue. Fred has too. The fact that the POTENTIAL NOMINEES ARE ALL DISCUSSING WHAT TO DO ABOUT ILLEGALS IS A BIG PLUS.
1. Allow the illegal immigrants that are here already to stay and WORK, provided they register into a national data base that then PROHIBITS them from EVER voting in America, unless and until they return to their country and go through legal channels for legal immigration status and eventual path to citizenship. If they don’t go back to their country, and just want to work, ok, but NO VOTING. This offsets the Democratic Party mass registration plans.
2. Any illegal immigrants jailed for breaking the law should be deported immediately, and the President should set aside (NOW) emergency funds to pay local governments for the deportation.
3. Any illegal gang members - same as above — gone. (I like Ike’s Operation Wetback procedure in 1958 that put them on ships destined for Vera Cruz).
4. All employed illegal immigrants, once registered into the data base, then must have required private health care coverage that includes a family doctor (to lighten the loads in hospital emergency rooms where illegals use the emergency rooms for doctor visits).
5. BUILD THE FENCE — starting now, with enough funds (multiple outsourced contracts east-to-west, west-to-east, and center-outwards) to complete by 2009.
6. Require ENGLISH for all illegals and their children.
7. Uninsured illegal motorists — deportation.
If the top placing GOP candidates were making attempts to appeal to the majority of Americans, they would all be saying NO to AMNESTY, without any compromise,for any illegal aliens, and that’s not the case.
