Immigration was the focus of the first question in a debate this week in Florida among the Republican candidates, opening the way for them to criticize each other's records while vying to sound the toughest on the issue.

``I want to assure you that I'll enforce the borders first,'' said McCain.

Romney came under the sharpest attack, with Giuliani accusing the former Massachusetts governor of operating a ``sanctuary mansion'' because illegal aliens worked at his home.

South Carolina Republican State Senator Jim Ritchie, who has been holding town hall meetings around the state on immigration, said voters view the issue as a test of character for the candidates.

``People in this state are looking for a president who is willing to take bold action in Washington on immigration, to put political capital out there to compel Congress to act,'' he said.
