(Illegal) Alien roundup provokes Huckabee scolding

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ^ | 8/4/2005 | Seth Blomeely

I think Huckabee is suffering from a very bad case of White Guilt.

And I doubt that it will win him any votes for any future office he seeks.

[DH]

Well, don't you think that it's time for this bleeding heart to get mugged or robbed by those cuddly illegals? Maybe it will change his frame of mind.

Wait! He's being robbed and mugged by them already but he does not have the sense to understand that they do it on the installment plan...rising insurance costs along with rising tax rates.

I think every illegal alien in my state needs to pack their bags and head to Arkansas. Apparently the folks there want as many Mexicans as they can get- at least they don't get rid of their governor who does.

[Hardastarboard]

Too bad David Koresh and his followers didn't all renounce their citizenship. Then they would have been illegal aliens and the Feds would have tiptoed quietly away from them.

[NormsRevenge]

I hope all the signs in the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor are in espanol.

They could use a bump in attendance. :0

Poultry plant officials said they had no way of knowing the workers were illegal, since the workers had provided identification and were hired through the state’s employment security division.

I daresay the plant management knew. And so did the state's employment security division. And if ICE wanted to look into it, they would know that they knew. But...

""Very little thought was given to what would happen to the children,"

Maybe the Gov should take care of them with his own personal funds then. Maybe the parents should have thought of this.
The parents were/are here "illegally". Illegally means that they shouldn't be here.
Illegally doesn't mean that its ok to think "we all know that business's need lower cost workers so we will just kind of wink and nod when we see them here"
Arkansas was in the United States the last time I checked.
Not part of Gaia, not part of one world government; but part of a sovereign nation that has laws and borders to be respected and enforced.

"the children, who are by the way American citizens"

That's a part of the law that could use changing. If it were done here like it is in most other places, the illegal immigration would drop to a trickle.

[TomGuy]

I cannot understand how these 'illegals' keep 'slipping through' the system [assuming someone/many aren't looking the other way].

Being a WASP, every time I have been offered a job in the last 30 years, I've had to provide 2 forms of identification, one of which HAD to be a photo ID.

Huck is worried about Tyson work force.

[La Enchiladita]

... during the raid the agency had interpreters who asked whether any of the 119 had children and none said they had ...

Thank you, senores and senoras, for putting your own children in this situation.

[SJSAMPLE]

and the governor proves our point about "anchor babies".

[Andy'smom]

"Huck is worried about Tyson work force."

How much of his political contributions are from the chicken processing industry?

RE: "he would have at least given the illegal aliens a few days to gather belongings "

Since the money they used to buy those things was earned illegally, their belongings should be siezed just like the belonging that drug dealers buy with their illegally earned money.

[Oldexpat]

round em up and throw them out.
It is about time that enforcement started. They had a chance to mention their kids. I don't believe in anchor babies..throw the parents out anyway. We should not be giving citizen ship to illegal kids.
And I hope they are afraid..I hope they are so afraid that they leave.
The employers are slime who are polluting our country.

"Very little thought was given to what would happen to the children"


I have given much thought to the children of our invaders.They should be put up for adoption.

[Happy2BMe]

Here is a perfect example of what a RINO governor who is deep in the heart of OBL territory does to CYA with his (illegal alien) constituents . .

===========================================

After the radio show Huckabee told reporters he would have at least given the illegal aliens a few days to gather belongings and figure out living arrangements for their children.
