I don't have the slightest notion about US immigration laws John, and wouldn't care less.

What caught my eye was the simple fact that the man, as a lawyer, has no scruples:



Quote:
This past May, the makers of the drug Oxycontin pleaded guilty to claiming to doctors that the drug was less addictive than other pain medications.
Rudolph Giuliani and his consulting company, Giuliani Partners, spent the last five years playing a key role negotiating with federal prosecutors on behalf of Purdue Pharma LP, the pharmaceutical company that made the drug.
The punishment for the corporate pushers who marketed this drug knowing it produced a heroin-like high and a commensurate addiction rate? On July 20, it was announced after a 4 hour hearing there would be no prison sentences; instead, a $634 million fine- chump change in big pharma world. The no-prison settlement was plotted by the man who wants to be your next president.
I only noticed that he apparently doesn't mind to act as a damage control manager for the pharmaceutical industry when they are caught red handed lying to people about medicines they produce, something which takes a person who is able to set aside a feeling of integrity towards the general public and of which I personally don't think that's a good feature for a president.

A lawyer for big pharma wouldn't be my choice, but then again, that's just me.
