When Rudy Giuliani talks about illegal immigration, he’s convincing on his intention to secure the border and certainly has a record of being willing to offend liberal sensibilities to impose order over chaos. In contrast with his past actions, he is now fudging his view of amnesty for current illegals, in favor of emphasizing the national security imperatives in the immigration debate. If he, rather than President Bush, were pledging to close the border and enforce immigration laws in exchange for a one-time amnesty, I think he’d have a serious shot at making the sale.
