Giuliani: Illegal Immigration is Not a Crime - TalkLeft: The Politics Of Crime

Giuliani: Illegal Immigration is Not a Crime - TalkLeft: The Politics Of Crime:

"Rudy's right, it's a civil offense, not a criminal violation, to be in this
country without proper documentation. Many of the persons the right blasts as
being illegal entered this country legally and then overstayed their visas.
Their initial entry was lawful. Staying past the expiration date on their visa
is not a crime."


He may or may not be correct, and it is true that a lot of undocumented migrants are here with expired documents. Building a fence isn't going to help solve that problem. This is not going to help Rudy with voters on the right, that don't seem to thrilled by him as it is.
