Immigration Now Top Issue in Iowa Running From the Past and Promising Anything Giuliani: "Illegal immigration is not a crime" -- See: "...each was charged with the federal misdemeanor crime of entry without inspection." Winston-Salem Journal ­ November 18 Giuliani aiming for a surprise in Iowa Immigration rises as most likely issue on voters' minds     Romney, Giuliani and Thompson all promised to end illegal immigration in recent mailings or television advertisements. Romney sent out a mailing to Republican households last week that described New York as a city that embraced policies that encouraged illegal immigrants to settle there. Romney's focus on Giuliani, the former New York mayor, was evidence of the Romney campaign's concern about Giuliani's advances.     "Welcome to New York City!" the mailing reads, the words displayed on a photograph of Times Square at night. "Sanctuary Cities are Magnets for Illegal immigration."     Giuliani dispatched a mailing to caucusgoers headlined with a pledge, "I will end illegal immigration and secure our borders without granting amnesty."
