Mike Huckabee:
We must end sanctuary cities. The horrible policies that have created sanctuary cities are a symptom of President Obama’s broader policy decision to ignore existing laws and issue radical unconstitutional executive orders that provide amnesty to the most dangerous illegal aliens.
What most people don’t realize is that existing laws provide more than enough leeway for the Executive branch to get the illegal immigration crisis under control. As your president, I’ll use my pen and my phone to follow the Constitution by:
1. Ending Obama’s Catch and Release policy. This would increase arrests, detentions and deportations of illegal aliens, particularly those who have joined gangs and committed serious crimes against Americans.
2. Using all powers of the presidency to deny federal funding to sanctuary cities and work with Congress to do the same.
3. Designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
4. Securing the border in the first year of my term.
5. Reversing President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty.
6. Making sure that left-wing activists in the immigration courts no longer undercut enforcement of immigration laws.

Did he recently have an election year change of heart? Or an ephinany?
Great speech. I’m not necessarily a Huckabee fan, but I do love to hear him give speeches. He has that folksy quality that keeps one’s attention. I noticed in this speech that he made a comment which jumped out at me. He was talking about beating the Clinton machine in Arkansas and living to tel about it. This tells me he is aware of the dead bodies that surfaced around the Clintons. Just something I picked up from listening to him. I could vote for him if he got the nomination.
