The Rap Against Huckabee, What’s true, and what’s not
National Review Online | 10/30/2007 | Byron York

"On immigration, Huckabee is a strong advocate of a fence across the entire U.S.–Mexico border. While Congress debates guest-worker programs, Huckabee tells me, the most important problem is being ignored. “Seal the border,” he says. “Until you do that, you don’t have any control over how many people are coming in, who they are, and where they’re going.” At the same time, Huckabee has taken criticism for his proposal, as governor, to offer Arkansas in-state tuition to illegal aliens and their children. “I have always said you don’t punish a child for the crime of a parent,” Huckabee tells me. “Frankly, it’s in our best interest to try to get that child on to a higher level of education.”

Well, sealing the border may have been ignored by Huckabee as well as the others seeking the GOP nomination, but the problem is not being ignored. If you know Gov. Huckabee you might relay to him that Duncan Hunter wrote a bill for such a fence that is now law. He has worked tirelessly to get such a bill passed as well as working to get more Border Patrol Agents on our southern borders. You might also intimate to Gov. Huckabee that he is not the pinnacle of social conservatism in this race. Duncan Hunter has introduced "Life at Conception" legislation and has not only been a useful ally but a tireless advocate for life. I understand, none of the above matters, nor is it of any apparent importance to the GOP electorate as I can discern. The GOP is now the party of money, polls and pandering, just like the Democrats. One parties ignorance and PC proclivities originate from a different overall ideology and is better disguised for the masses; But of late, there are more comparisons to be drawn than contrasts. Mike Huckabee is a leader for change, the very change described in the preceding sentences.
