Romney is poor on immigration too. If you were saying to vote for Hunter or Tancredo, I might be interested, but Hunter supports Huckabee and Huckabee has the best plan now.

And if you are following Duncan Hunter's lead, you are mistaken...Hunter sold out his soul and his supporters for a VP position. It is a power trip with him, nothing more.
Not so. Tom Tancredo endorsed Romney. That should tell you something. And Romney also has a better record on immigration issues than Huckabee who has only recently had a conversion on the way to the WH. Huckabee's response last night at the debates on immigration was weaker than Romney's. Huckabee is trying to have it both ways.
