MIKE HUCKABEE ON IMMIGRATION (despite the extreme spin made of his lesser developed past)
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. This money will turn “catch and
release” into “catch and detain” of those entering
illegally, and crack down on those who overstay
their visas.
In this age of terror, immigration is not only an
economic issue, but also a national security issue.
Those caught trying to enter illegally must be detained,
processed, and deported.
The Governor opposes and will never allow amnesty.
He opposed the amnesty President Bush
and Senator McCain tried to ram through Congress
this summer, and opposed the misnamed
DREAM Act, which would have put us on the slippery
slope to amnesty for all.
The Governor opposes and will not tolerate
sanctuaries for illegals. The federal government
must crack down on rogue cities that willfully undermine
our economy and national security.
The Governor opposes giving driver’s licenses to
illegals and supports legislation to prevent states
from doing so.
The Governor will stop punishing cities which try
to enforce our laws and protect the economic
well-being, physical safety, and quality of life of
their citizens.
The Governor 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.
The Governor opposes the economic integration
of North America that would create open
borders among the United States, Canada, and
Mexico. He will never yield one iota or one inch
of our sovereignty.
The Governor 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.
