Immigration: The
Hottest Issue
Time

Congressional Quarterly -- November 29
The
Republican Debate: CQ Politics' Mosts and Bests
Most contentious issue:
The subject of immigration dominated the first 20 minutes of
the debate - the longest of any subject - and sparked some of
the fiercest infighting among the candidates. In the very first
question, New Yorker Ernie Nardi asked Giuliani whether as president
he would continue to "aid and abet" illegal immigrants
in the same manner he had as mayor of New York City.
Most enthusiastic response: Illegal immigration opponent
Rep. Tom Tancredo [left], on the immigration debate. "For
a guy who usually stands on . . . the side and just listens all
the time - that's kind of frustrating in other debates - I have
to tell you, so far it's been wonderful because all I've heard
is people trying to out-Tancredo Tancredo. It is great! I am
so happy to hear it!" |

of willingness to work; it's not legal status..." |

Times: An undocumented newspaper
Last week, in an article titled "Walking

fact-defying claim that the illegal immigration issue poses a
risk for Republicans who appeal to voters "angry" about
illegal immigration. (This is as opposed to voters "angry"
that they spent good money buying a copy of the New York Times.)
