Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani visited Savannah today in a campaign appearance that focused largely on issues which unite his party. Giuliani spent most of his hour-long appearance talking about tax cuts and the size of government, saying his Democratic rivals would increases taxes and grow government beaurocracy.
Audience members did ask the candidate, however, about issues challenging the G-O-P, including stem cell research and immigration. Giuliani said President Bush could have won the immigration debate if he had focused on stopping illegal immigration first.
"He should build a fence, build a technological fence, add the extra border patrol, start showing that we can assert a reasonable degree of sovereignty over our borders," he said.
Guiliani did not address the war in Iraq or port security concerns during the Town Hall style meeting. He is, however, the first 2008 presidential candidate to visit Savannah.
