Guiliani Campaign Lands Law Prof Jan Ting (Temple) for Immigration Expertise
Last year, Temple University law professor Jan Ting was on the campaign trail, calling for tighter borders in an unsuccessful bid to unseat U.S. Senator Tom Carper. Today, Ting is working on the campaign of Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani. Delaware On-line reports that “Under attack from his GOP rivals for being soft on illegal immigration, Giuliani has tapped Ting and other anti-illegal immigration stalwarts for his campaign’s immigration advisory board — a move that many expect will boost his standing with hard-line Republicans concerned about the former New York City mayor’s abortion- and gay-rights stances. Giuliani was familiar with Ting’s U.S. Senate bid in 2006, when Ting ran on an anti-immigration platform, said Jeffrey Barker, spokesman for the Giuliani campaign.” Click here for some of Jan Ting’s immigration stances in last year’s U.S. Senate race.
