Huckabee's Amnesty Deception

On immigration, one only needs to see Huckabees record and Mexican consulate expansion in his ARK to to see his Pro-Amnesty positions. He can say no amnesty because he simply never acknowledged it was amnesty. He always said it wasn't amnesty, it was dealing with immigration and things of that nature. He is for rewarding the illegals and his record clearly indicates this.

Gov. Mike Huckabee Thursday denounced a bill by Sen. Jim Holt that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life ... Senate Bill 206, would also require proof of citizenzhip to register to vote and would require state agencies to report suspected cases of people living in the country illegally ... 'Even if benefits to people who are in the U.S illegally could be stopped, 'I don't understand how a practicing Christian can turn his back on a child from this or any other state,' Huckabee said ... Huckabee said he took exception to characterization of immigrants in the bill and by its supporters as exploiters of social programs. 'They pay sales taxes on their groceries,' Huckabee said. If they're using a fake Social Security number, they're paying Social Security taxes.

And lets not forget that he said he isn't afraid of risking his political career for siding with illegals...

"Gov. Mike Huckabee says he's not afraid of risking his political future by speaking out against a recent immigration raid at an Arkadelphia poultry plant even though calls to his office have been 'about 1,000 to one' against his stance ... if I was in that position and my only crime was plucking a chicken to feed my family. I didn't hurt anyone,' he said.

Wrote in his 2007 book that enforcing immigration laws "would be sheer folly" and that it made sense to give "those here illegally a process through which they pay a reasonable fine in admission of their guilt for the small infraction of violating our border laws and agree to a pathway toward legal status and citizenship." (Mike Huckabee, From Hope to Higher Ground, 2007, p. 117-118)He also believes that there is not a problem with mexican workers taking our jobs. He was against denying jobs to illegal immigrants, saying it “inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there’s a real problem. But there’s not.”

Yesterday, ABI's Roy Beck fell for a well timed political stunt to change peoples minds. Ed Rollins knows Huckabee is soft on immigration and is trying to exploit ABI by presenting how Huckabee is against amnesty. Huckabee needs to pay the price for his hatred of our laws and his constant attempts at using Christianity to create a moral excuse for his decision to violate the constitution of the United States. The same constitution that would grant him executive powers.

Hunter was my 1st choice, but I'll be voting for Romney.
