‘Sanctuary Cities’ Debate Helps Drive Agenda in Republican ’08 Primary Race
Posted on: August 28th, 2007“In the heated campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, saying one’s opponent supports “sanctuary cities” can be a declaration of political war.
That’s what Mitt Romney set out to do last week when he attacked frontrunner Rudy Giuliani for what Romney described as Giuliani’s soft approach to illegal immigration when he was mayor of New York.
At question is Giuliani’s decision to uphold a city ordinance that prohibited municipal workers from turning over information about illegal aliens to federal authorities, unless the immigrant in question was suspected of criminal activity. Being in the country is a civil infraction, according to federal law.”
