I have posted against Rudy before, and will continue to do so. Rudy reminds me of John Kerry. People must be blinded by something I do not see in him, because his record on conservative issues sucks. He is Anti-2nd Amendment, and he is Pro-Illegal Immigration. His sound bites might fool some, but not me.
Here is Michelle's entire article taken from Townhall.com.
Sanctuary Nation or Sovereign Nation: It's Your
Choice
By Michelle Malkin
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
Will the execution-style murder of three young students in Newark, N.J.,
finally turn the tide in the immigration enforcement debate? Will we at last
abandon the deadly, chaotic, lawless sanctuary nation experiment and restore
America's lost status as a sovereign nation under the rule of law?
The death of six innocent men and women and the injury of more than
1,000 at the hands of several illegal alien 1993 World Trade Center bombers
wasn't enough to convince politicians in New York and across this country to end
illegal alien sanctuary policies.
The death of nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children at the hands of
the 9/11 jihadists who exploited our lax entrance and visa enforcement policies
in 2001 wasn't enough.
The death of 10 innocent men and women in the Washington, D.C., area at
the hands of an illegal alien sniper and his bloodthirsty mentor in 2002 wasn't
enough.
But now we are in the heat of a presidential election cycle. The
open-borders opportunists in immigration enforcement clothing are professing to
see the light. With illegal alien murder suspect Jose Carranza and his alleged
MS-13 gang-banging boy helpers who are being sought in the brutal Newark murder
case dominating the news on the Eastern seaboard, politicians can't find a
camera fast enough to condemn the very sanctuary policies they promoted and
tolerated for decades -- sanctuary policies I've highlighted for years in this
column.
Amnesty-first GOP presidential candidate John McCain is now singing the
enforcement-first tune. And GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani vowed Tuesday
to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S.
He's touting a "tamper-proof ID card" that includes fingerprints for
everyone entering the country and a central database to track when they leave.
What Rudy-come-lately fails to comprehend is that there are already
multiple alien tracking databases mandated by federal law that have yet to be
fully implemented, integrated and used.
The reason they don't work is because open-borders interests have sabotaged
them by restricting funding for them, objecting to them on civil liberties
grounds, and pushing local and state governments to forbid public employees from
checking them to verify citizenship status.
Ring a bell, Rudy?
Giuliani's newfound border security zeal is intended to blunt criticism by
GOP rival Mitt Romney of Giuliani's pro-sanctuary record as NYC mayor. Giuliani
has issued Clintonian denials that he supported sanctuary. But the record is
clear. New York City's sanctuary policy was created in 1989 by Democrat Mayor Ed
Koch and upheld by every mayor succeeding him. When Congress enacted immigration
reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from
cooperating with the INS, Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was
rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to
special treatment for illegal aliens and was nothing more than an unlawful
effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January
2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the
law.
To this day, the city's policy of safe harbors for illegal immigrants
stands. Giuliani successor Michael Bloomberg defiantly reiterated the official
sanctuary posture of NYC this week: "Let 'em come." Could he be more callous,
cavalier and out of touch in a post-9/11 world?
From New York to Newark to Seattle to Portland to San Francisco to Los
Angeles to San Diego to Houston to Miami, lawmakers have taken this
go-with-the-flow attitude toward illegal alien border-crossers and visa
overstayers and deportation fugitives. "Let 'em come."
But in the wake of the Newark murders and the illumination of illegal
alien gang crime penetrating the country, a new rallying cry came from the lips
of Newark Mayor Cory Booker: "Get this evil out of my city." That won't happen
without a demonstrated commitment to cooperate with the feds to enforce
immigration laws and deport violent and dangerous criminal aliens first.
A few weeks ago, I launched deportthemnow.com. Nearly 8,000 volunteers
have signed up to make their voices heard. Our top priorities will be to push
for the adoption of a program known as 287(g) to identify criminal illegal
aliens in as many cities as possible; to repeal "don't ask-don't tell" sanctuary
laws; and to support lawmakers like Newark City Councilman Ron C. Rice, who is
pushing a resolution to coordinate efforts between law enforcement when an
illegal immigrant is charged with a felony, and New Jersey Assemblyman Richard
Merkt, R-Morris, who proposed prohibiting jail officials from releasing illegal
immigrants and requiring them to be remanded to federal authorities.
It's time for ordinary Americans to come out of the shadows and remind
Washington every day in words and actions that we are a sovereign nation, not a
sanctuary nation.
No more promises. No need to wait for Election '08. Just do it.
Now that rocks!
