BLOOMY: QUIT IT, MITT

August 14, 2007 -- Mayor Bloomberg yesterday told Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to stop picking on the city's immigrants.

"Boy, let 'em come," Bloomberg said of immigrants.

Romney last week referred to the Big Apple as a "sanctuary city" that protects illegal aliens - and did so even when GOP rival Rudy Giuliani was mayor.

Romney vowed to cut funding to cities that protect illegal aliens if elected president.

Romney's dead right on this one. If a city chooses to flagrantly disregard, even promote circumvention of Federal law there should be a stiff price to be paid and that price should be their federal funding.

It's a city's right to choose not to enforce Federal law but it's the Federal governments right to withold funding and that's precisely what is called for here.

P.S. Bloomberg's an imbecile.
