Giuliani on Immigration

Given what happened to John McCain, I can't help but think that as the Republican electorate learns more and more about what Rudy Giuliani really thinks about immigration, he's going to be in big trouble. He managed to somehow pass himself off as an opponent of the comprehensive immigration measure, but the reality is that as mayor he turned New York City into a giant "sanctuary city" and sought vigorously through the courts to preserve that status. This was all unremarkable in what's probably the most pro-immigration jurisdiction in the country, but it's really, really, really not where the GOP base is.
