Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson breezed through metro Atlanta ahead of a rare line of thunderclouds on Thursday, brandishing his conservative credentials and accusing GOP rivals Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney of favoring “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants.

In a brief interview, Thompson also addressed questions that some conservative Christian leaders have raised about his religious convictions and work he once did as a lobbyist for an abortion rights group.

He said he wasn’t bothered by the scrutiny.

“If you’re right with the man upstairs, and you’re right with those who love you, and those who you love, then everything else will take care of itself,” said the former Tennessee senator and “Law & Order” actor.

Thompson’s first foray into Georgia consisted of two fund-raisers and an airport gathering of 70 supporters and reporters in Kennesaw.

In a hangar at McCollum Airport, Thompson was endorsed by two Cobb County officials, Sheriff Neil Warren and District Attorney Pat Head. In July, Warren became the first sheriff in Georgia to have his deputies trained to determine the immigration status of foreign workers who land in the county jail.

Thompson put illegal immigration atop a long list of positions he said proved his conservative pedigree.

Thompson accused both Romney and Giuliani of tolerating “sanctuary” policies endorsed by some U.S. cities, in which local authorities routinely don’t inquire into an individual’s immigration status.

Later, Thompson said that after securing the U.S. border, the millions of undocumented foreign workers now working in the United States could be addressed through attrition.

“They set up a false choice —- either we get giant busloads of people tomorrow, and round them all up, or we have to grant amnesty. Attrition by enforcement is what makes the most sense,” he said.
