So what? Romney was a flip flopper too. Why can’t a born again immigration restrictionist like Rudy claim the same right to “change his mind?”

The discussion here is about the history of sanctuary city policies. Rudy was clearly one of the worst in the country about fighting for such.

If you want a man who doesn’t “revise” his principles during even years, you need to look to other candidates, such as Ron Paul.

Don't make me laugh. Ron Paul doesn't flip-flop his priniciples, he just violates them and pretends otherwise, by passing along earmarks and then voting against them, instead of being like Tom Coburn and refusing to insert earmarks.

I do get a kick out of those on FR that obviously dislike Ron Paul because of his postion on the Iraq War...but pretend that they don't like him because he's not fiscally conservative enough. Fact is, Citizens Against Government Waste, the leading non-partisan pork and earmark watchdog group, rates every House and Senate member every year as to their votes for wasteful programs and pork-barrel spending.

In 2006, Ron Paul scored 95% (exactly the same as Coburn) and higher than every other candidate other than McCain who also scored 95%

Romney's Massachusetts and Rudy's New York, where one can wander for days and hear only Spanish!

I guess that all happened after these two zealous border guard neo-xenophobes left town? Perhaps if Romney had Ummim and Thurim like old Joe Smith, he could have interpreted the problem better. He could have lent these magic spectacles to Rudy so he could have seen Washington Heights in NYC, where one-third of the population of the Dominican Republic now lives illegally. But that's OK, 'cause if you do the arithmetic both Romney and Rudy can figure out that soon the good old melting pot will be about a third salsa picante.

In 150 years, the only Euro-Americans left might be in petting zoos in Alaska. !Mira mira papi, su pelo es completamente blanco! African-Americans? No problem. perhaps America's new people can be induced to give up soccer, which is like watching varnish dry, and support the NFL.
