The "flip flop" everybody's howling about is his conversion from "not sure if it's possible" to "it's possible." This isn't exactly a huge philosophical shift; he still thinks immigration is good for the country, that the federal government needs to do more to stop illegal immigration (since it's a security issue), and that we should reach some sort of deal to regularize the more honest and hard-working illegals who are already here.

So in 1995, he said that the federal government can do it. Then in 1996 he said that they can't? Not buying this. You can’t “solve” immigration to you can’t “solve” immigration.

Not buying this.

It's a change in his concept of the feasibility of restricting illegal immigration from a practical standpoint, and a change in priority, but he has been saying pretty much the same thing, philosophically, for as long as he's been an elected official. You 're not satisfied with his own press release on the topic? Check out the full text of the speech at the Kennedy School for reference, or if you like, the PBS interview linked below it. http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/rwg/html/96/ken.html http://youtube.com/watch?v=W8Y2RJBIza8 Please explain how this is a flip-flop.
