Huck drew fire to himself.
then require illegal immigrants to pay restitution for breaking the law
Sorry Huck, I call that amnesty.
There is no dollar amount acceptable in my book. If his plan does not include sending them home then it's amnesty.
“Pay restitution” for criminals is AMNESTY....which was defeated TWICE already. Anything short of deportation (current law) is not enforcing the law.
Thanks for confirming you are on the PRO-AMNESTY side of the debate, Huck!
Why waste money on Huckabee in the first place?
Watch now, he is from HOPE, ARKANSAS.
Bay Buchanan would never have let that ad go out if it was not true. I like Huck, but he did this to himself.
“The radio ad calls Mitt Romney a flip-flopper on abortion, amnesty and gun control, then attacks Sam Brownback, Fred Thompson and Huckabee, claiming “they’re all for amnesty.””
Every word in this statement is true. Multi-faced Mitt (the word two-faced seems inadequate in his case), Brokeback, and Huckabee are all for amnesty.
Sounds like he supports amnesty to me.
This add, if it states that Huckabee is in favor of amnesty, is 100% true. For Huckabee to deny it is a huge fraud. Huckabee has said many times that he is FOR amnesty. There are not many pro-illegals politicians out there in any party. Huckabee even resorted to calling other candidates and politicians "back home" some pretty nasty names because of efforts to cut off non-essential government services to illegals (free tuition, welfare benefits, etc.).
Huckabee - what happened to your Preacher/Pastoral days? Did you forget your commitment to God to be an honest man? I don't think that commitment has been terminated by God.
Does anyone have a link to the ad?
Better known as the McCain Kennedy Amnesty plan
This country has lost 619 thousand Americans on the battlefields around the world in the last 100 years making the world safe.
The reason we are not sending people back to Nazi Germany because we took care of Nazi Germany and we liberated the Germans and the reason we are not sending people back to a Communist Poland is because we brought down the Berlin Wall. The reason we are not sending people back to a Marxist Dictatorship in El Salvador is because we liberated El Salvador.
We have made the world much freer. And we have pumped billions of dollars into lots of countries to improve their economies. So I think the United States, more than any nation in the world, has a right to tell folks, you folks stay in your own country, make it work and when you want to come into America *knock on the front door*.
Here are two links to copy and paste for proof of Huckabee's pro-amnesty stance (you'll have to scroll to find Huckabee's name and positions).The first came in an April 27 speech:

The other is from the Council of Foreign Relations web site. It's a speech of December 2006, updated July 17. A simple search on Google provides many more examples, too:

Nothing good ever came out of Arkansas — since the Arkansas Traveler, that it.
