Dear Mike, just a little hint: open borders is not a winning platform in Republican Presidential primaries. In fact,you just blew whatever chance you thought there was that another Arkansawyer might make it to the White House.

"open borders is not a winning platform in Republican Presidential primaries."

I've been actively involved in a number of Presidential primaries (and gubernatorial). There is always one monster issue that dominates every primary; and that is who has the best chance of winning the general election.

When the polls show the anti-Hispanic candidate losing to Hillary by 20 points, and Huckabee (or other serious candidate) defeating Hillary, the primary voters will vote for the winner, not the loser.
