In a press release yesterday, the Ron Paul campaign claimed that "Rudy Giuliani’s record on illegal immigration is out of step with the majority of Americans." The press release cited a lawsuit Giuliani had filed as mayor of NYC that prevented city officials from arresting illegal immigrants. The campaign also asserted that as mayor Giuliani had supported granting welfare, Social Security and free medical care for illegals, and denounced a law that prohibited illegals from receiving those benefits.
Paul 2008 Campaign chairman Kent Snyder said that "On illegal immigration, Rudy Giuliani is more like Ted Kennedy than Main Street America." Continued Snyder, "When you compare Rudy Giuliani’s immigration record as a mayor to Congressman Ron Paul’s record as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 10 terms, the difference is clear."
Paul supports the border fence, opposses amnesty, and has proposed legislation barring foreigners on the terror watch list from receiving student visas.
