SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney assailed Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee over supporting tuition breaks and broader sanctuary for illegal aliens or their children.
The former Massachusetts governor singled out two of his Republican opponents and likened them to Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying Tuesday: "There are those people in both parties who are in a sanctuary state of mind, who believe in sanctuary cities, who believe in policies which are sanctuary in nature."
In campaign appearances and advertisements in Iowa and elsewhere, Romney is increasingly using illegal immigration to differentiate himself from the rest of his opponents. The issue is particularly salient in Iowa's ultraconservative western region, given the influx of people arriving to work in fields and factories in recent years.
