1994: Rudy Giuliani explicitly welcomed illegal aliens to New York City

The unremarkable and as-could-be-expected-biased "Top GOP Hopefuls Keep Distance on Immigration" by Michael Shear discusses how John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani are backing off from "comprehensive immigration reform", aka amnesty.

However, it does contain this:

[Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum] remembers watching in awe as Giuliani faced the cameras in 1994 to defend illegal immigrants, declaring: "If you come here and you work hard and you happen to be in an undocumented status, you're one of the people who we want in this city." ...Giuliani "was a god in the mid-1990s on this issue," Sharry said this week.
