Romney on immigration) “It frustrates me that if someone comes here illegally, in addition to everything else that’s involved in that, if they commit a crime, we don’t throw them out of the country,” he said in the spot. Giuliani adds, “People that come in illegally we gotta stop. You stop illegal immigration by building a fence, a physical fence and then a technological fence. You then hire enough Border Patrol so they can respond in a timely way.” The ad ends with Giuliani saying that fluency in English ought to be a requirement of becoming a U.S. citizen. The second new radio ad, called “Out of Control,” focuses on how Giuliani’s record on crime, welfare, and spending as New York mayor. – CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart Filed under: Mitt Romney Rudy Giuliani
