Rudy Giuliani names immigration advisory board

Posted Mon, Aug 13, 2007 at 8:36 pm

Rudy Giuliani has named a few people as advisors on immigration matters. Their bios are here:

* Robert Bonner, former Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection

* C. Stewart Verdery, Jr., former Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

* Victor Cerda, former Assistant Secretary of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the DHS

* Michael Petrucelli, former Acting Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

* Nicolle Sciara Rippeon, former Deputy Chief of Staff for Bonner

* Ray Shepherd, Member, former Staff Director and Chief Counsel of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations

* Jan Ting, Assistant Commissioner at the Immigration & Naturalization Service under Bush I

With such high-powered advisors, surely Giuliani won't have any problems answering tough questions about this issue. So, please go to his campaign appearances, ask him those questions (especially about his "foreigners only" biometric ID card scheme which would eventually become a national ID card), and upload his responses to video sharing sites.

Giuliani could resurrect Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie, make them advisors, and it wouldn't be enough to compensate for his running a sanctuary city. The media pumps Giuliani for the same reason they pump McCain. They know he's with them on immigration.

Rudy recently said he'd dredge up former NY sanctuary city police Chief Bratton who's now LA Mayor Conquista Villaraigosa's police chief bitch to run homeland security. THey both have an established record of NOT enforcing immgration laws, FYI chief Bratton doesn't even enforce LA's ultra liberal Special order 40 and doesn't bother to check the immigration status of most felony arrestees, I think he has a low IQ too.

heh, they're all lawyers & existing govt bureaucrats, I'd hire ex-military & building contractors, not immigration attorneys or ex-homeland security dopes. These folks should be working at Taco Bell or running for homeowners association boards, not running immigration.
