Paul Campaign: Giuliani's Immigration Record Out of Touch with America

June 1, 2007

ARLINGTON, VA - Rudy Giuliani's record on illegal immigration is out of step with the majority of Americans. As mayor of New York, Mr. Giuliani filed a lawsuit to prevent city officials from arresting illegal immigrants. He also denounced a law that prohibited welfare benefits, Social Security and free tax-payer funded medical care for non-citizens, and lobbied the U.S. Congress to change it.

"On illegal immigration, Rudy Giuliani is more like Ted Kennedy than Main Street America," said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder.

In contrast, Congressman Ron Paul has long taken the lead against illegal immigration. He voted for a border fence between the U.S. and Mexico and strongly opposes amnesty. Congressman Paul has introduced legislation to end birthright citizenship. He has also sponsored legislation to bar individuals from countries on the U.S. terror watch list from receiving student visas, since several of the 9/11 terrorists were here on expired student visas.

"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," continued Snyder.
