Arkansas bill cuts off illegals' benefits

Actually, Huckabee couldn't care less about "Jesus juice" - he's just worried about keeping the cheap-labor workforce flowing for Tyson Chicken.

You probably heard already, but... some good news from Arkansas.

[monkeywrench]

What do you expect from someone who quotes Michael Jackson? "Jesus juice"?

[texastoo]

We will also see Bill and Hillary come to Arkansas and side with Huckabee on this issue. I have the feeling this will be much harder to pass in Arkansas than Arizona.

People will change their tune all over America when they suddenly need to take a loved one or have to go to emergency for themselves and find a line 20 deep of illegal immigrants ahead of them...

Only 20 deep ??? LOL

Dallas TV had a special report about a month ago........Said if you needed emergency treatment at Parkland hospital you should be prepared to wait some 7-8 HOURS, & if you needed to be admitted your *wait* could be 12-13 HOURS, or until a bed was available.

To remain 'politically correct' however, the words, illegal, immigrant, entrant, undocumented, etc.etc. were never mentioned.

>>Next to slam the new bill was the head of the nation's largest Hispanic organization, the League of United Latin American Citizens.<<

If they are against it, I am FOR IT!

Mr. President,
Stop trying to protect CRIMINALS! We are going to consider you one too if you keep this up!

inflammatory ... race-baiting and demagoguery

Who is the REAL race-baiter here? Sounds like Huckabee (the Huckster) is. I don't believe the bill specifies any race in any way. It simply cuts off benefits to ILLEGALS - period. Are all illegals of one race? No. I guess Huckabee thinks so. But then again, the Huckster is a leftist, Socialist, pinko who's only "conservative" positions are on Gun Ownership and Abortion (or so he claims). Yes, these are two important issues - but not enough when you won't keep the Fox out of the henhouse.

For the life of me, I cannot understand the transformation that Huckabee has made over the past 2-3 years. I keep voting for him just to keep the Demoncrats here in Arkansas at bay, but how can I continue to when he starts taking such insane positions? Has the power of state politics and the smell of possible greater power just overwhelmed his capacity for logic and reason? This is nothing like I remember him being early in his governorship. I am just bewildered, sick, and saddened .

[TheBattman]

The very subject has been discussed heavily on the Arkansas board (and has resulted in some account banning....so be careful).

[OB1kNOb]

wow....will do.....thanks

Alabama also has a RINO governor. He fooled the people getting elected. Then he tried to pass a heavy tax on them and now he probably can't be elected dog catcher.

[Carry_Okie]

Apparently Tyson Foods needs a steady supply of cheap meat cutters, with benefits funded by taxpayers.

[janetgreen]

Hopefully, this sort of bill will be introduced in Georgia very soon. We need it.

I have a friend in Atlanta who says that the illegals there are now almost outnumbering the natives, and they're taking the construction jobs, etc. etc.

I am just bewildered, sick, and saddened

Your not alone. I can't believe he played the race-card like this. It makes him look really bad.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Looks like prop. 200 was the beginning of a hurricane of brobdingnagian proportions.

[Centurion2000]

We need this in TEXAS.

[BlessedBeGod]

The governor described the bill as "inflammatory ... race- baiting and demagoguery."

Why? Does it specify race in the bill? I don't want illegal Mexican aliens to get benefits any more than I want illegal French alients to get benefits. So how is that racist? Illegal is illegal.

[lodwick]

Mike, pull your head out. Just because Tyson, and WallyWorld employ them by the gazillions, doesn't make them LEGAL.

Stop screwing the taxpayers' of your state, nitwit, traitor.

Defend the Constitution - remember that oath you swore?

[spectre]

"I am just bewildered, sad and sick".

That just about sums up what everyone else I know is saying about Gov. Mike. What a shame he has chosen to go against the people who made him what he is today, while pandering to a large group of illegals who will end up bankrupting this State and Nation.

These ILLEGALS aren't taking the jobs Arkansans don't want...they just do it for less.

We, the people who made him what he is today, are mad as hell. We'll bring him back down to earth, as quickly as we raised him up. If he is planning on going to D.C. after leaving the Governor's mansion, he is living in a dream world.

BTW, I campaigned for Mike when he was a nobody running for Lt/Gov. Now, I'm living to regret it.

"GOP Sens. Jim Holt and Denny Altes sponsored the bill,"

I'm proud of these Senators (though I don't live in Arkansas).

I hope ALL of the good folks living in Arkansas will stand with these Senators and their bill----let them hear your support!!

This is the ONLY way that progress will be made to stop the illegals.

Let Governor Mike know how STRONGLY you disagree with him!
