ROMNEY: Jersey's Always An Easy Target

The Corner's Kathryn Jean Lopez notes that Mitt Romney's new ad attacking Rudy Giuliani on 'sanctuary cities' included Newark, NJ, (where three college students were recently murdered execution style by an illegal immigrant). The Corner's Kate O'Beirne defends Rudy's decision: "Giuliani recalls that NYC reported thousands of criminal aliens to federal officials who deported only a fraction of them. Giuliani continues to defend New York's refusal to inquire about legal status when people seek city services, and I think he is persuasive when he argues that making every contact with city officials - including the police and hospitals - reportable was unwise and unworkable in his city."
