Pretty much ended up as a recap of a few weeks ago, with Romney emphasizing he's against amnesty and sanctuary cities and didn't have power as governor to end it, and Giuliani emphasizing why practical considerations forced him to uphold the policies he did. It was a jab at Romney when he said he had to make an intelligent decision and didn't have "the luxury of
political rhetoric." However, a lot of conservatives agree with that rhetoric, so Romney may get the better of this issue by taking the harder line against citizenship now, regardless of whether he's playing politics or what he said or did in the past.
