Republican presidential hopeful former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani points to the 17th Street Canal levee as he talks with Lakeview residents Kelly Alfortish and Tim Alfortish, right, during a brief visit to the Hurricane Katrina-damaged area in New Orleans, Saturday, June 30, 2007. The Alfortish’s home was flooded during the storm and they shared their story with Giuliani.

Giuliani links terror, border security

The car bomb scare in London and the attack Saturday at the Glasgow airport underscore the need for secure borders for the United States, Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said Saturday.

“This is the United Kingdom,” he said. “They have security that is at least equal to ours; they have intelligence services that have even had more experience with terrorism than ours has, you know, they have to be subjected to this. We’re in an era in which we need to know everyone who’s in the United States.”

Giuliani, who was mayor of New York at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, said the federal government needs to ensure that its borders are secure.

“We need to end illegal immigration,” he said. “If we do, a lot of things can happen, in terms of how you resolve everything here. But if you don’t end illegal immigration, almost nothing is possible, because no matter what you do, things are going to get worse.”

Giuliani is proposing “tamper-proof” ID cards and a database that would track people in the United States from foreign countries. He also suggested strengthening enforcement at border crossings.

Giuliani, who spoke near the spot where a canal levee broke during Hurricane Katrina, said government at all levels failed after that storm hit on Aug. 29, 2005. He said he is accustomed to making government run more efficiently and believes he could do that as president.

The issue of illegal immigration IS linked with terrorism. With the defeat of Senate Bill 1639 this past week, the issue of illegal immigration and border security turns to the Presidential candidates.

Rudy is RIGHT on this issue.

Remember what John Edwards said?

Here is a reprise of Rudy’s smackdown.

Stay tuned………
