In Virginia, Huckabee defends DREAMer benefits
Washington Examiner ^ | January 28, 2015 | Rebecca Berg

At a stop on his book tour Tuesday, Mike Huckabee again defended his decision as Arkansas governor to grant the children of illegal immigrants in-state tuition at state universities.

But he also went a step further, hinting that those children should be put on a path to citizenship — a position more in line with Democrats and DREAMers than some of Huckabee’s more conservative Republican peers who are also weighing bids for the presidency.

In his book, I understand he trashes Beyoncé’s music...and it’s full or corn porn nostalgia. The man is an embarrassment. Contrast him with Scott Walker or Ted Cruz or any number of people who have walked the walk.

What the heck has Huckabee done? I don’t want Andy Griffith in the white house.

The reminds of me of a warm comfortable shoe...butter on warm white toast and a normal BM. Is this the best we can do? Is Hillary Clinton the best they can do?

If you want someone that does the Jesus talk, I'd go with Rick Santorum, runner up from 2012. He, at least, believes in reasonable border control and has a great work ethic.

That being said, Ted Cruz or Scott Walker would be my first and second choices, respectively.

No. rewarding criminal behavior encourages more criminal behavior. Dreamers need to go home and dream from their own countries. If the American people want more immigrants in our country, we should change our immigration laws and policies and select which immigrants should be permitted to come here legally. All illegals should be removed from our country and barred from any path to legal status.

RE :”When Mike Huckabee came to Chattanooga in 2008 I got to ask him about his stance on the illegals..”

I find Hucklberry annoying.

I hate hate gay marriage but .....
back October he threatens he will quit the GOP if they don't oppose gay marriage(not sure what that means since judges are deciding it) and now he quits FNC to run as a GOP candidate, GOP!

The same party he threaten to quit months ago. Just another phony.

I thought “Who gives a crap if you quit Hucklberry?”

Don't let the door hit you Huckster

FMDJ once called him a “Southern fried Willard” or something like that.

Problem is that many Christians, esp in the South, like what Huckabee represents. Huckabee is a caring Christian who wants to share the love of Jesus with a lost world. If Romney jumps in, Romney will show what he really is - a devout Mormon. Then the media will ask Huckabee and Romney to hold Bible study in front of the cameras.

He is. Completely. 100000000000%. Even Khent hates him.

The “Old Country Buffet/Matlock” crowd is susceptible to his snake oil though. That’s a problem.

I don't want Huckabee either. Personally, I think he's a GOPE stalking horse to split off less informed conservative votes and help one of the GOPE triumvirate to win the Primaries. .

That tells me all I need to know about the Merv Griffin of Fox.

As for Chuck Norris, I’ve never been a particular fan, but after reading that, I don’t have much use at all for him.

Yeah, he came to Liberty University earlier in the week to sign books. It was mostly older people in line, and they were all grinning excitedly at the prospect of being able to vote for a former pastor.

Post 10: Chuck Norris was with him and scowled at me as though I should not have asked Huckabee about illegal aliens...

Clarence Gilyard Jr., who was on "Matlock" also starred on Norris' "Walker: Texas Ranger". How ironic.
