Giuliani calls for 'tech wall' for border, energy plans (build border wall; drill ANWR & East Coast)
The man who commanded the 403 police officers and firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks told a fire station filled with first responders Wednesday: "In defending your community, you're defending America."

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani brought his unofficial Republican presidential campaign to the North Spartanburg Fire Department, telling uniformed personnel and civilians, "Your ability to do (your jobs) well will determine whether we save lives and save America" if terrorists strike again.

.......

In an interview with The Greenville News, Giuliani said that as president he would finish the Mexican border wall in California already authorized by Congress, but he would create a "technological wall" to seal the border and develop secure identification cards for immigrants.

In calling for energy independence, Giuliani said everything must be on the table, including exploratory drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and in potential seabed fields off the East Coast.

"We have to look at all these things a second time, with more of an emphasis of solving this problem of energy independence," including greater use of nuclear, wind and solar power, cleaning up coal and stepped-up ethanol use, he said.

2. We do not need a wall on our southern border.

Put in prison the CEO's of companies that knowingly hire illegals. Then document & track every non citizen that wishes to come up here to work and the business and people that hire them. More jobs for Americans, a better life for those coming up here to work.

7. Indeed, we "little people" on both the left and the right realize that...
is the crux of the problem. That is probably the only issue/solution that rank and file Democrats and republicans do agree on.
Oddly enough, most of our overlords are blind to that resolution. Hmmm, I wonder why...

3. Well, Giuliani is showing either his true stripes or his "patronize
the right wing stripes." It hardly matters; he is dogmeat.
