While Minuteman Founder Gilchrist has endorsed Huckabee, the Minutemen who are actually building the border fence and manning border outposts has NOT!
Confused?

Minuteman reconsiders Huckabee endorsement
Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist says he will have to reconsider his endorsement of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee after learning the Republican presidential candidate favors allowing illegal aliens to wait only days to receive documents allowing re-entry into the U.S.
Oh that’s rich. I love it.
Gilchrist is just a whore who decided to buy himself a seat at the table when *uckabee started surging.
Truth Squad: Immigration Facts
November 02, 2007
Immigration Facts
- The Governor opposes and will never allow amnesty.
- Governor Huckabee believes that securing our borders must be our top priority and has reached the level of a national emergency.
- The Governor supports the $3 billion the Senate has voted for border security. This money will train and deploy 23,000 more agents, add four drone planes, build 700 miles of fence and 300 miles of vehicle barriers, and put up 105 radar and camera towers.
- In this age of terror, illegal immigration is not only an economic issue, but also a national security issue.
- Governor Huckabee opposed the amnesty bill that was attempted to be rushed through Congress this summer, and opposed the misnamed DREAM Act, which would have put us on the slippery slope to amnesty for all.
- Governor Huckabee opposes and will not tolerate sanctuaries for illegals.
- Governor Huckabee opposes giving driver’s licenses to those who are illegally in our country and supports legislation to prevent states from doing so.
- Governor Huckabee believes illegal aliens who try to vote or try to apply for welfare benefits should be arrested.
- Governor Huckabee will stop punishing cities which try to enforce our laws and protect the economic well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of our citizens.
- Governor Huckabee opposes and will not tolerate employers who hire illegals. They must be punished with fines and penalties so large that they will see it is not worth the risk or profitable.
- Governor Huckabee opposes the economic integration of North America that would create open borders among the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
- Governor Huckabee will never yield one inch of American sovereignty.
- Governor Huckabee will take our country back for those who belong here. No open borders, no amnesty, no sanctuary, no false Social Security numbers, no driver’s licenses for illegals.
It has been reported that Mike Huckabee supported benefits for illegals immigrants while he was Governor of Arkansas.
Governor Huckabee never supported benefits for illegal immigrants. In Arkansas, illegal immigrants do not receive welfare benefits or food stamps. Governor Huckabee has always, and will always be supportive of the laws and regulations of the country.
It has also been said that Mike Huckabee was in favor of providing college scholarships for illegal immigrants while he was Governor.
The governor only supported the measure that applied to those who met the academic qualifications and applied for legal citizenship. The measure didn’t pass. Governor Huckabee stressed that any student would simply be treated as any other graduate of an Arkansas High School, and not given any special consideration.
Critics say that Governor Huckabee’s motives behind opening a Mexican consulate office in Little Rock was to court illegals to come work in Arkansas.
The Mexican consulate provided Arkansas businesses with access to Mexico and opportunities to expand their markets, and would help further ensure that immigrants from Mexico are legal and better able to secure legal documentation. At the same time, the office would open up opportunities for Mexican investors to invest money with Arkansas partners, which would help create more jobs in the state.
No one reads long posts and your guy is a lying bag of wind.
Now is your chance to prove that now that you have actual (REAL)documents in hand. Good luck and GOD BLESS YA
I see nothing but cut and paste BS. The only way I would vote for the shuckster is if everyone who sent him money sends the same amount to me. Then I promise I will vote for him.
Sorry it bothered you have a nice day.
Your post is an example of why I won’t vote for Huckabee. His
‘truth squad’ lies about his record. Shamelessly.
As just one example: “- Governor Huckabee believes illegal aliens who try to vote or try to apply for welfare benefits should be arrested.”
In fact, he bitterly opposed efforts to require any documentation of citizenship for applicants of welfare benefits - making it impossible to FIND any illegals doing the applying.
This went beyond turning a blind eye to illegals - he OPPOSED catching them. It was during this debate that he accused his opponents of ‘drinking a different Jesus juice’ - a rather blasphemous remark for a Christian to make.
IT’s common to note the affiliation of people who endorse personally, even if those affiliates have not endorsed. I don’t fault him for that.
But that little white oval that says “ENDORSED” sure looks like it has the minuteman logo in it, and if so THAT would be a problem. I wonder if the Minutemen copyrighted their logo and could sue him for infringement?
The Huck is truly shameless. Take a look at the quote on Huck’s Flyer:
“All of us want a plicy where people COME TO THIS COUNTRY THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, NOT THE BACK DOOR”
Now where have you heard those words?
“encourages those looking to enter the United States to come through the front door instead of the back door -” Duncan Hunter

People!!! Wise up to the Huckster from Hope!
19 December 2007 Looking at the Republican field
Cato Institute’s Fiscal Policy Report Card on America’s Governors: 2006. http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=6724
Arkansas Mike Huckabee, Republican Legislature: Democratic Final-Term Grade: F Final Overall Grade: D
Thanks to a final term grade of F, Huckabee earns an overall grade of D for his entire governorship. Like many Republicans, his grades dropped the longer he stayed in office. In his first few years, he fought hard for a sweeping $70 million tax cut package that was the first broad-based tax cut in the state in more than 20 years. He even signed a bill to cut the state’s 6 percent capital gains tax—a significant progrowth accomplishment.
But nine days after being reelected in 2002, he proposed a sales tax increase to cover a budget deficit caused partly by large spending increases that he proposed and approved, including an expansion in Medicare eligibility that Huckabee made a centerpiece of his 1997 agenda. He agreed to a 3 percent income tax “surcharge” and a 25-cent cigarette tax increase. In response to a court order to increase spending on education, Huckabee proposed another sales tax increase. Huckabee wants to run for the GOP presidential nomination next year. He’s already been hailed as a viable big-government conservative candidate by some. That seems about right: Huckabee’s leadership has left taxpayers in Arkansas much worse off.
Apparently the good folks in Arkansas had a rough time of it with Mike Huckabee: Big Government Conservative.
Huckabee was in line with these governors:
Montana Brian Schweitzer (D)* 47 F Alabama Bob Riley (R) 47 F Washington Christine Gregoire (D)* 47 F Arkansas Mike Huckabee (R) 46 F Nevada Kenny Guinn (R) 46 F Delaware Ruth Ann Minner (D)* 44 F North Carolina Michael Easley (D)* 44 F Arizona Janet Napolitano (D) 43 F Louisiana Kathleen Blanco (D)* 43 F Ohio Bob Taft (R) 53 C Kentucky Ernie Fletcher (R) 53 C Maryland Robert Ehrlich (R) 53 C Vermont James Douglas (R) 53 C Michigan Jennifer Granholm (D) 53 C

See post 13. I can understand someone being taken in by the smoothness of Huck. He is afterall, a PROFESSIONAL communications man. What I don’t understand is supporting him after you’ve seen the facts and what a con man he is.
Thanks for the PING
Mike Huckabee is a chronic liar just like his predecessor, Bill Clinton.
Two hopeless dopes from hope.
“he bitterly opposed efforts to require any documentation of citizenship for applicants of welfare benefits - making it impossible to FIND any illegals doing the applying.”
REAL immigrants agree in writing that they will not apply for welfare or other services...
They have to have a job to come to or proof that they have the funds to support themselves until they receive their Alien Registration card, or Green Card...
The exception of course would be refugees...
Huckabee’s campaign has push-polled me at least 4 times in the past couple of weeks. He’s the only candidate who has push-polled. Push polling is slimmy and I associate it with the likes of Clinton.
The Republican nominee will be either McCain or Romney. No candidate from either party finishing lower than second in the New Hampshire primary has ever won their party’s nomination. Neither Thompson, Huckabee, Guiliani or Hunter will prove the exception.
What planet are you from?
