Just a couple of facts about Huckabee: "Huckabee said at the Univision Latino TV debate: “If you can get an American Express card in two weeks, it shouldn't take seven years to get a work permit to come to this country in order to work on a farm.” This in response to a question of “what to do with the 12 million of undocumented that already live in the United States?” Huckabee would apparently repeal the 3- and 10-year bars to illegals’ re-entry, for illegals who register during a 120-day period with Homeland Security and temporarily exit the country. They would “face no penalty if they later apply to immigrate or visit” the U.S. He also would reward these lawbreakers (and their law-breaking employers) by allowing the aliens to keep the very jobs they sneaked in and took. As governor, Mr. Huckabee opposed a bill to require proof of citizenship to register to vote. The bill would have also required state agencies to turn in illegals. Huckabee backed issuing drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens. In 2005, Mr. Huckabee was the keynote speaker at the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, convention in Little Rock. This ethnic grievance group supports mass amnesty for illegal aliens and special rights and benefits for Latinos. Mr. Huckabee told LULAC that “we should accommodate people” who want to come to America from Mexico and other countries, in apparent disregard for the harm caused American workers. He embraced forcing citizens and communities to “recogniz[e] and cheris[h] diversity ‘in culture, in language and in population,’” the Arkansas News Bureau reported. The news report called it an “impassioned speech” that “made it very clear where he stood on the [immigration] issue.” As governor, in his book From Hope to Higher Ground and now, Mr. Huckabee attacks the character of his opponents. He resorts easily to name-calling. This ad hominem tactic is the weapon of choice of Leftists and those in the open-borders movement. The Huckabee side of the immigration issue tries to demonize and vilify its opponents. They seek to shut down a fair and honest debate". http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=24142

The perfect response to the previous post, which conveniently left out The Huckster’s atrocious and un-American policy on immigration.

Exactly. Could not agree with you more The argument for Huckeltoon seems to be “pro gun, pro life.” Also, he and his fans can’t stand the heat on his record. His pardon record is as bad as slick Willy’s. If he isn’t going to be strong on immigration ... what will he be strong on? As for this evangelical pastor - I fear we might need to look ahead to the mid-year elections in 2010 and the next pres election in 2012. Sigh ...

Giuliani filed lawsuits on behalf of illegals as mayor of New York and McCain supported the Bush amnesty bill. In regard to illegal immigration, all three have poor records.

At least, Huckabee seems to be serious now about securing the borders to some degree.

Interesting ~ pro-tiger and anti-Huckabee.

Can you use HARD RETURNS in the future. Otherwise your nonsense is not easily read.
