Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee joins Senator John McCain and Senator Teddy Kennedy as a leading contestant for the 2005 Quisling of the Year Award. McCain and Kennedy were the clear front-runners with the amnesty bill for twelve million illegals and strong defense of Mexico’s southern border. But lightening struck and Governor Mike came out of nowhere to make it a three-way race in a stunning speech to the LULAC convention in Little Rock (League of United Latin American Citizens). The Quisling Award is giving annually to the American who surrenders the most of America to a foreign government. The award is named after Vidkun Quisling, who when the Germans invaded in Norway promptly got on the radio and surrendered the whole country. After the war, the Norwegians tried him, found him guilty and executed him for treason.
The Arkansas News Bureau records his treason as follows: "In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike Huckabee told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seeking a better way of life." Huckabee then made the most stunning admission of complete capitulation to the Illegals that have replaced American workers throughout Arkansas, "Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,’ Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter." It would seem that a lot of Southern white guys in Arkansas who lost their jobs to illegals are not going to be laughing, at all. If Gov. Huckabee appears at any NASCAR race, there is a good chance he might be accidentally hit by a flying lug wrench. The most notorious employer of illegals in the country funds Gov. Huckabee. The News Bureau further reports, "Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock." Before Huckabee spoke, John Tyson thanked the Hispanic community for standing by the Springdale-based food giant during the federal government's investigation of the company a few years ago. The U.S. Justice Department investigation alleged that Tyson helped to smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S. and employed them at various chicken-processing plants across the Southeast. After a seven-week trial, Tyson and several managers of poultry processing plants were acquitted in March 2003 of those charges. "At the time, it was a very difficult and very tough time for our company," Tyson said. "Thank you LULAC for standing by us." "I am proud to tell you that more than 40,000 of our workers are Latinos," Tyson said of the company's 114,000 employees. "We are learning, growing and benefiting from that diversity." These are 40,000 jobs that had employed Americans from Arkansas. They were replaced by illegals. Tyson foods became the poster boy for a new economic term, "occupational displacement." This is when the hiring of immigrants becomes so great that it destroys the occupation (meatpacker) for the native residents. Generations of men who had supported themselves and their families with the tough, low skilled jobs of the plant were displaced by lower wage illegals. (Note: the same thing happened in the 1890’s. Factories and coalmines in Pennsylvania employed native Scots-German and Irish workers. These workers would be replaced when the company brought in non-English speaking Europeans, at lower wages. Deja vu, all over again.) Sooner or later John Tyson is going to jail and the sooner the better. His company has been relentless in replacing Americans with low wage illegals. When the Immigration Control movement gains control of the White House and the legislative bodies of Congress, one of the first orders of business should be to throw this S.O.B. in jail. Further, this company should be hammered with RICO suits. The entire Tyson Foods operation is a sleaze ball conspiracy to import illegals and put them to work in Tyson’s meat packing plants.
Tyson Foods escaped prosecution and palmed the hiring of illegals on to a few "rogue" plant managers, rather than a deliberate corporate policy. Tyson had put up posters in Mexico telling the illegals streaming north that there were jobs at Tyson. They also hired corrupt laborer brokers who recruited in Mexico. But the corporation was smart, left no paper trail and the witnesses against it were lower level managers who had pleaded guilty. It is clear that Gov. Huckabee has sold out to the corporations desiring more illegal immigration. No doubt, he received large contributions for his political campaign from Tyson Foods. If one recalls, Hillary Clinton invested a thousand dollars with James Blair, then an attorney working as outside counsel to Tyson Foods. Hillary picked up a cool hundred thousand dollars in a year’s time. The Republican governor has backed in-state tuition bills for illegals and been against bills that would require verification of citizenship to vote and report illegals in the country. "Huckabee is ready to sell out Americans and the good citizens of Arkansas at every turn." He said, "Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity "in culture, in language and in population." In other words, surrender to the illegals. This quisling, Gov. Mike Huckabee, will be lucky if he gets elected to dogcatcher in Arkansas, much less President of the United States. Paul Streitz

It's not laughable.
The illegals streaming in here are neither Cuban nor South American professionals who tend to vote R.
They are peasant Mexicans and Guatemalans mostly who tend to vote D by a large proportion.
Why folks want to allow streams of illegals in here who will invariably vote liberal one day beats me.
I prefer my immigrants like the Cubans.....patriots and right thinking.
It ain't brain surgery.
2 points.....all " hispanics" are not a race nor are their cultures the same.....folks make that mistake a lot
second;.....I want immigration limited across the board...not just against illegal hispanics....we;ve had too much since 1970 in my view
Bush is going to leave office without dealing with this.
Al Queada and SCOTUS nominations will fill his plate.
however...after today...again....he should have the good sense to secure the borders.
PERIOD...to hell with offending Fox and FR moderates..lol
Did I say "without immigration" dear?
I said "limited".
Our population has nearly doubled in 35 years.....mostly due to immigration and their spawn.
I do not like the cultural seismic shifts
...but border security is admittedly a much bigger issue right now
thank you
Does it offend you as much when hispanics vote for any politician who will help pad their numbers by supporting illegal immigration?
gee that's funny. Most of the legal hispanics seem to not like illegal immigration....
hmmmm.....
F*ck H*ck.
Lost of luck in your new career, jerkoff, whatever it may be.
as you completely missed what I said and then went in the OTHER direction, I guess I won't try to explain.
This entire argument is based upon an editorial written by Vinson in Middle America News, an anti-immigration newsletter. First, we at the Mike Huckabee President 2008 blog have been dealing with characters like Mr. Vinson for some time now, who all share one thing: they oppose Hispanics, irregardless of their legal status. They rave every time a moderate makes any kind of positive remark about immigrants without first qualifying the remark is about legal immigration, yet these critics themselves turn right around and denounce immigration without qualifying their remarks as being about illegal immigration. For proof, I can refer you to the very editorial you base your argument upon. Mr. Vinsion: "He [Governor Huckabee] praised immigration as a source of America's greatness. If he made any distinction between legal and illegal immigration in that statement, the Arkansas News Bureau account of the speech did not report it." Then just a few lines later, Mr. Vinson complains that Tyson Foods "regularly swamps small towns with immigrant workforces." Are we to assume, then, that by Mr. Vinson's own methodology, because he made no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants, he opposes ALL immigration? Another common characteristic between immigration hawks like Mr. Vinson is that they can rarely resist inserting subtle hate-speech into their rhetoric. Case in point: just look at Mr. Vinson's editorial again, where he asks "Do the people of Arkansas share their Governor's desire to turn Arkansas into a multicultural madhouse?"
So I hope you forgive me if I don't take Mr. Vinson too seriously. He is far more radically opposed to immigration (and I mean all immigration, legal or not) than he accuses Mike Huckabee of being on the opposite side of the issue.
Now for some facts: Governor Huckabee is 100% opposed to illegal immigration and has gone on record many times saying he believes illegal immigrants should be deported. Period. To say otherwise is an outright lie. I offer you this link from the Arkansas News Bureau, the very source Mr. Vinson used to craft his anti-Huckabee editorial (it is highly unlikely that Mr. Vinson missed this when researching his editorial, by the way) http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2005/02/03/News/316813.html
Unfortunately, the fact that Mike Huckabee opposes illegal immigration and wants illegal immigrants deported is not enough for people like Mr. Vinson, who view ANY compassion toward immigrants (legal or not) as "treason." Mike Huckabee wants the children of illegal immigrants treated fairly and compassionately. The illegal immigration issue is severely clouded by the fact that many of their children are legal U.S. citizens. Furthermore, because of his pro-life stance, Huckabee believes that any woman, of any race, who needs prenatal care should get it (this is the welfare service Mr. Vinson refers to). If women show up at the health department or emergency room needing prenatal care and are unable to produce proof of citizenship, Huckabee does not believe they should be turned away. This is not a not a service for the mother, but for the human life inside her, which he values regardless of its legal status. We have an additional consideration regarding children when it comes to deportation. When illegal immigrants are caught and deported, which Huckabee supports, their children must be handled compassionately and correctly. A very recent instance of "deportation gone bad" happened in Arkansas just last month (July, 2005) when 30 children were abandoned at schools and daycares in Arkansas by Federal immigration agents who rushed to deport their parents. Huckabee believes these children matter and are worthy of humane treatment. This position is supported on both sides of the aisle, as evidenced by US Senator Mark Pryor's investigation and remarks noted in the attached link. People like Mr. Vinson do not even address these issues in their rants because they either don't care about the children, or they realize that bringing up their plight weakens their hard-line positions. I refer you to this link http://mikehuckabeepresident2008.blogspot.com/2005/08/msm-huckabee-right-on-illegal.html
Incidentally, The Morning News of NW Arkansas, which is linked above, is the flagship newspaper in the very area of Arkansas Mr. Vinson insinuates is opposed to becoming a "multicultural madhouse."
Finally, I will say this. In order to craft an argument that appears to hold water, Mr. Vinson was forced to use half-truths, innuendo, insinuation, and omission of important facts that are easily found and verified. For example, when bringing up the subject of Tyson Foods, Vinson relies on unnamed "numerous critics" who claim Tyson is "not at all particular about the legality of its employees." He did this because the facts do not support his insinuation, which he needed in order to craft a damaging association for Huckabee. The FACT is Tyson Foods was tried and acquitted of charges they hire illegal immigrants. See this link, which Mr. Vinson could have found with a simple Google search http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/03/26/national/main546248.shtml
I do not beleive any further proof of the willingness of you and your ilk to spew lies and misinformation is needed.
