Huckabee had the toughest anti-amnesty platform this side of Hunter/Tancredo. But you knew that.

Mike Huckabee: Amnesty Supporter
Former Arkansas governor and current Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee supports “creating a pathway where people can have a form of restitution to make things right, to understand that laws have to be obeyed or some consequences have to be applied.” He believes it “makes more sense than trying to deport 12 million people or build a 700 million, ehr...700 billion dollar fence.”
Mike Huckabee says that “I tend to think that the rational approach is to find a way to give people a pathway to citizenship.”
The quotes from Mike Huckabee contained in this blog entry can all be viewed at a webpage about Mike Huckabee maintained by Americans for Better Immigration.
Though Huckabee denies that he supports amnesty, his words indicate that he does support amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. Mike Huckabee is wrong. Millions of illegal aliens that deliberately violated a federal criminal immigration law (Title 8, Section 1325 of the United States Code) should not be given a pathway to citizenship.
There are dozens more like that and worse.
Mike Huckabee supports Amnesty and Illegal Immigration
Huckabee was a vocal supporter of the McCain-Kennedy Senate Amnesty Bill.
Huckabee stated that amnesty proposals were a “chance to make up for past racism.” Huckabee went on to say “I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than [the “racist” way] we did before.” http://cofcc.org/?page_id=756
Huckabee attacked for being liberal on immigration.
From Ann Coulter’s new column.
On illegal immigration, Huckabee out out in left field. He has compared illegal aliens to slaves brought here in chains from Africa, saying, “I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before.”
Toward that end, when an Arkansas legislator introduced a bill that would prevent illegal aliens from voting and receiving state benefits, Huckabee denounced the bill, saying it would rile up “those who are racist and bigots.”
Then why did you excuse Tancredo's endorsement of Romney, who you also said had the toughest amnesty platform? When Tancredo dropped out, both Huck and Romney were still in it.
