It tells me that Huckabee promised something to Jim Gilchrist in return for his support. It also tells me Jim Gilchrist had the misfortune to believe him.
Yes, I will take Tom Tancredo's judgment and expertise on immigration issues over Gilchirst's. Gilchrist is having his own problems with the split of the Minutemen movement.
Yeah, I'm sure Massachusetts had the same amount of illegal immigration problems as a southern state near the border. And those sanctuary cities must have been my imagination.
Illegal immigration has metastasized around the country. It is no longer a border state issue. I can tell that living here in Northern VA, it is a major issue. Romney has a good record in his state compared to Huckabee. For example, he fought against in-state tuition for illegals and he obtained 287 [g] authority for state law enforcement officials. Huckabee is rated lower than Romney by Numbers USA in terms of their actual records.
I am an immigration activist who has spent almost two weeks following the McCain campaign around SC and FL. I will take Romney over Huckabee on immigration and so will my colleagues. It is not even close.
