More shocking hype is hitting GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney today — just when he was trying to go on the unpleasant.
Romney is condemning New York City under Mayor Giuliani of being a sanctuary for illegal immigration and is flaring up his stance on this matter.
But now ABC News lately came up with an extremely shocking piece of fact-checking coverage that strongly implies Romney’s notes are not….consistent…with both his private events of the years, his documentation in office or what he has done in the past. The coverage fundamentally accuses Romney of being a fraud without using the actual word.
All Giuliani and his people need to do is to copy the ABC report and hand it out to all Republican voters and Romney will have a very tough primary season since he will be spending time answering it.
Here’s the charge on behalf of Romney:
“If you look at lists compiled on Web sites of sanctuary cities, New York is at the top of the list when Mayor Giuliani was mayor,” Romney informed at the Abbey Hotel. “He instructed city workers not to provide information to the federal government that would allow them to enforce the law. New York City was the poster child for sanctuary cities in the country.”
The Giuliani campaign ejected the charge.
Campaign communications director said, “I am not even sure we should weigh in on this, given Mitt Romney may change his mind later today about it. Mitt Romney is as wrong about Mayor Giuliani’s position on illegal immigration as he was when he last mischaracterized the mayor’s record and later had to apologize. New York is the safest large city in America since Mayor Giuliani turned it around — it is not a haven for illegality of any kind. The mayor’s record speaks for itself.”
And here is a short piece of ABC News report.
“For 10 years, Romney used the services of a landscaping company for his Belmont, Mass., estate that hired illegal workers from Guatemala, workers who told the Boston Globe that Romney never inquired about their legal status.
Presidential cabinet appointees have seen their planned move to White House cabinet posts doomed due to that…
And it gets worse.
While Romney was governor, the commonwealth of Massachusetts became one of the six states with the largest growth in unauthorized migrant population, from 2002 to 2004, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, with somewhere between 200,000-250,000 new illegal immigrants. Romney was governor from January 2003 until 2007.
So voters in GOP primaries could rightfully ask him what the state did, what the state clamored for, and why the jump was so high…..”
