NYT: Romney Ad Takes on Immigration and Giuliani

Mitt Romney has stepped up his broadside of his Republican rival, Rudolph W. Giuliani, over immigration with a new radio ad in New Hampshire.
The 60-second spot opens with a narrator sternly declaring: “Immigration laws don’t work if they’re ignored. That’s the problem with cities like Newark, San Francisco and New York City that adopt sanctuary policies. Sanctuary cities become magnets that encourage illegal immigration and undermine secure borders.”
The ad, of course, picks up on an accusation Mr. Romney has been hitting on the campaign trail over the last few weeks to conservative audiences that while mayor of New York City, Mr. Giuliani encouraged the flouting of immigration laws.
Mr. Romney is seizing upon an executive order that Mr. Giuliani inherited from previous administrations that protects undocumented immigrants from being reported to the I.N.S. while using certain city services.
For his part, Mr. Giuliani has argued that the policy was part of the necessary protection of public safety and health, as the city needed illegal immigrants to be able to report crimes and get medical care without fear of deportation. His campaign has also fired back that Mr. Romney, while serving as governor of Massachusetts, failed to take action against known sanctuary cities in his state.
