Romney vs. Giuliani

Mitt Romney called Rudy's New York a safe-haven for illegal immigrants. In counter, Rudy cited Mitt's own house as a safe-haven for illegal immigrants. Mitt's reply was pretty good, I thought. What happened was that Mitt and Anne hired a company to paint his house or something; do housework, whatever it was. And some of the workers that the company sent to their house were not in the US legally. Mitt asked Rudy if Mitt, as a homeowner, is supposed to pick up on the voices with accents outside, and ask to see that individual's papers. Mitt did a good job in his rebuttal. Mitt, as a homeowner and as the buyer of a seller's services, does not have the burden of law enforcement as to whether or not that seller's services are legal. Furthermore, simply having hired workers at one's house does not make it a sanctuary house. Illegals being in Mayor Giuliani's city does not compare to illegals being on Private Citizen, Homeowner Romney's property. Point goes to Mitt.
