"Turn 'em all in"

Maybe now we can stop the narrative that Giuliani is a "moderate" on social issues. It was never really true...he was just running for mayor of New York City, for chrissakes, where abortion is mandatory and everyone is gay...but that train has officially left the station.

Mr. Giuliani has also changed his tone on immigration. He was quoted in The Washington Examiner on Tuesday as saying that when he was mayor of New York, he realized that the Immigration and Naturalization Service was not about to deport the estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants in New York.

“If they could, I would have turned all the people over,” Mr. Giuliani said in the interview, which was given for the new book “Meet the Next President: What You Don’t Know About the Candidates” (Threshold Editions), by Bill Sammon, a reporter for The Examiner. “It would have helped me. I would have had a smaller population. I would have had fewer problems.”

In 1994 as mayor, Mr. Giuliani said the opposite.

“Some of the hardest-working and most productive people in this city are undocumented aliens,” he said. “If you come here and you work hard and you happen to be in an undocumented status, you’re one of the people who we want in this city. You’re somebody that we want to protect, and we want you to get out from under what is often a life of being like a fugitive, which is really unfair.”

Meanwhile, Alan Keyes is back??!!
