Mike Huckabee on Illegal Immigration

[rudtman]

We need to get rid of the guest worker program. And we must put our troops on the border. These illegals are taking errr jobs.

[1984hotmom]

[1984hotmom]

What the hell, is wrong with people these days. this place was made by illegal aliens u like it or not, and i think that huckabee is ignorant and stupid. thats why he didn't get elected for president.

[stargirlsusan]

[1984hotmom]

[1984hotmom]

[stargirlsusan]

[1984hotmom]

[rudtman]

This nation was made by LEGAL immigrants.Not illegal job taking gang member bastards.

[AmericanPolitix]

Bullshit. He wanted illegals to have instate tuition. He's a flip-flopper just to get elected like the rest of them.

Bob BARR for Prez!

[ChocolateExplosion]

the most popular place for people to put their feet? there's 2 billion people in China asshole.

Huckabee' looks european, mexicans have more right to be there than him.

[JAMIE102390]

Don't be ignorant, you fool. He means it is the most popular place that people want to immigrate to. Don't be stupid. How many people do you know that are just dying to move to China. Genius.

[AmericanPolitix]

FUCK MEXICAN NIGGERS!

[ChocolateExplosion]

fuck you.. ignorant redneck

[dillonmisterxxx]

i agree with huckabee 200% fuck obama huckabee for president

[stalwart17]

For a true Christian, may it be read again in case it might have been fogotten

Isaiah 58:7

Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harbourless into thy house: when thou shalt see one naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh.

Only saying you are a Christian means nothing! It is by your acts that you will be judged!

James 2:12

So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.

If you are a true Christian ask yourself:

What would Jesus have done?

[dillonmisterxxx]

fuckin hypocrit shut up

[JAMIE102390]

Come on, let's be real with each other. I am a Chistian, so don't start spitting Bible verses at me. We, as a nation, are not trying to deny the hungry food, we are just trying to get the hungry to get in line and wait. If not, there will be no food for the hungry to eat. Think logically, please.

[oreillyfan360]

He's absoultely not a flip flopper. This video is proof that his position, even his speaking points on illegal immigration, have remained firmly against it.

[AmericanPolitix]

He's so full of shit! He wanted states' tuition for illegals! This is such BULLSHIT! Another flip flopper! Our borders are wide open because of people like HIM!!!

[JAMIE102390]

You are insane. Think about what you say BEFORE you say it, please.

[confinedbread]

Canada is far worse than mexico as far as our border with them. A terrorist can walk across the border in broad daylight with nuclear components in his backpack without getting stopped once

[Boosted18]

Huckabee destroyed his own campaign by doing a complete 180 on the immigration issue. He should've known, most his christian support came from those who know we can't kick people out of a country that they've been working so hard in. It makes me sad. Huckabee WAS the first real politician I had been inspired by in a long time.

[JohnZaun]

Maybe, but from how I look at it. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. And I feel more comfortable around a man, like him, who believes what he believes, and will not back down or change to get elected. The Border is a huge problem, and one that needs to be addressed.

[ruppertknickerbocker]

Mexicans smuggled terrorist over the border w/biological weapons they were going to set off on an Army Base near Phoenix killing millions. We need to shut down the Mexican Border and get all illegals out to secure our Country.

[unnst]

first deport yourself

[joe0035]

This guy is full of shit he wants to give a free pass free medical education welfare and wants us all to learn spanish. his politcal history shows nothing else.

[markobello1]

Your full of shit.

[joe0035]

Republicans democrats two parties same shit Ron Paul is the only one with a history of consistancy of what he says and promises. All other canidates are telling us what we want to hear until we buy it. If you vote for anyone but Paul you get what you deserve.

[ruppertknickerbocker]

Mexicans smuggled terrorist over the border w/biological weapons they were going to set off on an Army Base near Phoenix killing millions. We need to shut down the Mexican Border and get all illegals out to secure our Country.

[bgbrazil09]

u stupid

smuggled terrorist

its funny those that blew the towers were all american residents

[comnsense1001]

The huckster is bad news.

GOOGLE:

"Huckabee too soft on illegals"

"Huckabee tries to gloss over Arkansas record"

[faithdevine]

I don't trust "position statements." I trust voting records. As governor of Arkansas, Huckabee was soft on illegal invaders. As Dr. Phil says "The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior." Huckabee's past behavior is that of a TRAITOR, period.

[Helenscorner1]

Mike Huckabee seems to be the only one that is believable and honest. The only one thaty will get my vote.

[sinyard7]

Wrote in his 2007 book that implementing strict enforcement of 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 past infraction of violating our border laws and agree to adhere to a pathway toward legal status and citizenship." (Mike Huckabee, From Hope to Higher Ground, 2007, p. 117-118) Citizens that disagree, he calls racist.

[19931409]

What a dumbass. Who is he anyway? Like, the feudal lord of Houston or something?

[BIGPOTDAVE]

Your video is cut out of context. It doesn't let him finish his sentences. It is biased and ridiculous.

[A19Z89]

OMFG---who supports this guy? What a liar...there, I've said it. He is lying. Don't believe me, research his earlier years...Now he wants to build a FENCE? AUFKM???

[BIGPOTDAVE]

I support him, Iowa supports him, Now what?

[chicagobassist]

now Obama for 08

[pinoyidol2006]

I don't care if its scripted. Well, at least he doesn't contradict himself.

[DionysianOne]

Building a border fence? Isnt that another Republican's idea? I dont remember his name, Tancredo or someone who didnt get much coverage. I dont trust a man who changes his ideas for Presidency while he's in the middle of running. Couldn't he just as easily change is mind again...like Bush did with foreign policy?

Ron Paul has stuck with his plan all along because he's honest and WILL be our next President. Ron Paul 2008

[BIGPOTDAVE]

How is RON PAUL honest when he cant even pick a POLITICAL PARTY?!!

Yesterday, Libertarian...

Today, Republican...

Tomorrow, Democrat? (like bush)

[DionysianOne]

BIGPOTDAVE: "How is RON PAUL honest when he cant even pick a POLITICAL PARTY?!!"

You obviousley dont care to do any research do you? Ron Paul ran once as a libertarian, but before that and after that he's ALWAYS been Republican. I dont care what party he's in anyways, its the candidate's plan and ideals that matter the MOST

[BIGPOTDAVE]

His "plan and ideals" stick out like a sore thumb amongst the republican candidates. He sounds like a whining baby in the debates. "Why don't they see it my way" is what it sounds like he keeps saying. He is very liberal and not what republicans want, at least thats how they have voted so far. Hes only running R because he wont get any coverage as a Libertarian

By the way... I am a conservative libertarian.

[DionysianOne]

I dont care what he sounds like compared to LIARS. His campaign has NOT changed at ALL this WHOLE time. Ron Paul KNOWS what's important and that is the CONSTITUTION and NOTHING ELSE! Of course, if only you'd tell us why you're voting for Huckabee (who's a liar and very flakey) or whoever you may be voting for and let us know why their terrible plans are your choice instead of sticking to Historical Federal Constitutionality.

[AlbanianMan]

Huckabee and those like him must, must be destroyed politically like Michael Dukakis was destroyed. What's the difference between Massachusetts bleeding heart, let the murderers and rapists loose liberal Democrats like Dukakis and Arkansas bleeding heart, let the rapists and murderers loose "conservative Christian" Repubs like Huckabee? Dukakis was Democrat and Huckabee was Republican soon both will be ex-Politicians, who will never be elected so much as a dog catcher.

[AlbanianMan]

It is vital, vital that we stop this corruption in supposedly conservative, Religious Right Christian leaders. What's these traitors, idiots are doing is to go with the flow and be pied pipers and lead millions of otherwise good decent White Christians to go over to the virtually identical anti White, bleeding heart liberalism of folks like Dukakis, Ted Kennedy, suck up to the MSM and have power and slander all of us for being backward, uncaring racists

[AlbanianMan]

this idiot, pathetic traitor Hukabee has a huge liability in his background in that he performed a classic Mike Dukakis liberal act of letting a rapist murder out of jail (the rapist murder supposedly found Jesus and repented his sins) and after Gov. Huckabee let the criminal out he - Surprise, surprise, murdered another young woman.

[jamo387]

This guy talks out of both sides of his mouth. They call Romney a flipper? I think this guy is running away from his history of promoting illegal immigration and welfare/tuition benefits for illegals. This guy is an open border, big government "compassionate conservative". He's like a less intelligent Dubya. ENOUGH ALREADY !! READ THE CONSTITUTION AND VOTE RON PAUL 2008

[guyinrichmond007]

Huckabee likes to give illegal aliens preferential treatment over AMERICANS with in state tuition, social welfare programs, etc.

[thecoldhardtruth]

mexico should turn over their states to the US !

that would end all arguments !

If mexico can't fix their problems,

we will !

[spitchill]

Mike Huckabee...raised taxes, helped to free a rapist, wants amnesty for illegals.

[drakflyga]

Huckabee for president. This guy know what's needing to be done. Cheers from Sweden (Not from from Switzerland)

[TheWatchdog]

He obviously doesn't want any restrictions on immigration numbers. He feels that citizenship and assimilation are meaningless and that everyone in the world should be allowed to live in the U.S.

[basszack]

so could i move were ever i wanted then?i'll move to mexico,they will all be hear.i heard that they have good bass fishing!

[BradleyZ32]

Here's what he said at the spanish language debate. "When people come to this country, they shouldn't fear. They shouldn't live in hiding. They ought to have their heads up, because the one thing about being an American is, we believe every person ought to have his or her head up and proud, and nobody should have to be in hiding because they're illegal when our government ought to make it so that people can reasonably come here in a legal fashion."

[sinyard7]

Huckabee is NOT taking a hard line. As pointed out, under his 9 pt amnesty plan (and YES, it IS amnesty), illegals would have 4 months to go home. Wait a day or so, return, and PRESTO, they're legalized. Please spread the word and don't let Huckabee and the MSM get away with this. This is one Southern Baptist that finally realized, what a devious traitor he is on immigration.

[chissykim]

Huckabee, realizing that his super soft record on illegal immigration was going to ruin his presidential aspirations, has just come out with a new "get tough" immigration enforcement plan - which gives all illegals 120 days to register and leave the country or face a 10 year ban on entering the U.S.

The question is - will those who register and leave be able to (almost immediately) return to the U.S. legally? If so - this is nothing more than the Kennedy-McCain plan in new dress.

[MexicansforHuckabee]

No thomasw78 we do not want the USA to be like East Berlin. Berlins wall kept people in...our wall will keep people OUT. There is a BIG difference.

[MexicansforHuckabee]

He wont admit that he is for "comprehensive reform (amnisty) unless you pry it out of him, because he knows that he is against the people on that issue. He wants to fic borders THEN give out amnisty. He wants to increase guest workers, and not reverse anchor baby laws, so the guest workers (who never leave) can have millions of anchor babies.

[MexicansforHuckabee]

"'Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,' Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter. He told the LULAC (Hispanic extremist group) delegates that their presence in the state's capital city was very important because Arkansas has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the nation. 'Your gathering is so very significant for our state,' Huckabee said. 'We are delighted to have you.'" June 30, 2005

[thomasw78]

Did he say he supported a fence on the Northern border? WHAT??? Is he crazy does he want to turn America into East Berlin??

[57junk]

Huckabee's answer to illegal immagration,

Chuck Norris. Great, than we will have two

border gaurds. Straight answers, Ron Paul 2008.

[ruppertknickerbocker]

Yes release the INS agents.

[jusmart]

Huckabee for president!

[chissykim]

I think this is the one issue that will sink Huckabee's candidacy. His empty rhetoric aside, he has a record of being extremely weak on illegal immigration. I expect his support to plummet as Republican voters become aware of this. And its too bad... otherwise he is a very attractive candidate.

R.I.P. Mike Huckabee

[MexicansforMike]

yes yes El Presidente

[spicetoy]

Huckabee opposed a Republican lawmaker's efforts in 2005 to require proof of legal status when applying for state services that aren't federally mandated and proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Huckabee derided the bill as un-American and un-Christian and said the bill's sponsor drank a different "Jesus juice." This guy is a KOOK....

[Chan793]

2 words chuck norris

[glenns45]

Bunnyboone Contact karn news raido or look through the Arkansas democrat gazette archives and you will find his record he is a liberal.

[glenns45]

I lived in Benton Arkansas when Huckabee was gov. Mike Huckabee was pro illegal immigration or should i call them undocumented immigrants as Huckabee called them.Huckabee did support College tuition for Illegals. He also said what right did INS have raiding Tyson foods and taking our undocumented workers. Check his record before you vote for him he is a typical liar, he saying what you want to hear!

[marleythe9]

ya i agree government failed on trying to prevent illegal imegration cuz they really dont care. It shouldnt take more then a year to imigrate to country legaly and for illegals that are currently in country i say they should beable to stay but. with document proof that they have not yet been admited to be legal imegrant, and if they do not legal become imgrated with in period of time they get deported.

[BUNNYBOONE]

For all those who state Huckabee supported/s college tuition for illegal immigrants, PLEASE POST OR MAIL ME YOUR SOURCE. Otherwise, stop promoting false information you've heard from your liberal buddies.

[ljrahn]

Watch the video "Huckabee supports Amnesty, tuition breaks for illegals". He says it in his own words. Is that enough evidence for you are you going to try to find some way to spin his record even more which seems to be the only thing Huckabee supporters are good at?

[voiceactivated]

I heard Huckabee with my own ears state that he strongly supports college tuition for illegals. He was being interviewed by Glenn Beck on the radio on October 31, 2007.

[comnsense1001]

Huckabee says what he thinks will get him elected but make no mistake -

he wants illegals here,

he wants them on a path to citizenship and

he wants college scholarships for their children.

His answers are well-rehearsed and often funny but don't lose focus on his message.

[ljrahn]

While Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas, there was a higher increase in the percentage of illegal immigrants in Arkansas than in any other state. Do you really trust this guy on the issue? I sure don't.

[ljrahn]

You can talk all you want about securing the border but until you get tough about internal enforcement(i.e. deportation) and cut off incentives for illegal immigration, you are not going to solve the problem. Huckabee supports giving in state tuition to illegal immigrants and wants to give welfare to illegals. He is part of the problem.

[chukmaty]

You are lying or misinformed. See my other comment. You need to research your statements before spreading falsehood.

He is for the FairTax which would be regressive against all non citizens.

Second he is for a border fence, with otion trackers. And also for guards to put on the fence.

Third, he is for fining employers hiring illigal immigrants.

Huckabee has the executive skills to make these things happen.

[seawabbit]

I like Huckabee but like most politicians on this issue, they are proposing a stupid solution. If you build a 20' high fence on the border, all they need is a 22' high ladder. C'mon folks, let's wise up about this. If you want to solve the illegal problem, put a bounty on each illegal--that will solve the whole problem in a couple months.

[SecureTheBorder]

Mike Huckabee support state subsidized college tuition for illegal immigrants.

[chukmaty]

Totally false... children of those seeking citizenship by going through the full process should get scholarships they earn while in public school.

[SecureTheBorder]

Now that's a bunch of BS. Illegal is illegal!!! Huckabee is on CNN right now pushing In-state tuition for illegal aliens and Dream Act amnesty provisions! And he did the same thing in Arkansas while governor. MIKE HUCKABEE IS A PHONY.

[chukmaty]

You clearly do not know the law. People born in this country regardles of who their parents are, are in fact citizens wether we like it or not. Huckabee was wise to make sure that all citizens get up to speed inthis society.

You are either lying or misinformed, he has NEVER promoted in state tuition o federal tuition money for Illigals.

He is for deportation and/or incarceration for illigals.

[SecureTheBorder]

No, you are lying. It's a known fact that Miguel supported state subsidized tuition for illegal aliens. He tries to couch his traitorous position as "the kids shouldn't be punished for the crimes of their parents", but what his position really amounts to is giving incentives for said parents to illegally immigrate to the U.S. with their children. Miguel's record speaks for itself.

[SecureTheBorder]

Believe me, I've done a lot of research on Huckabee because I was thinking about voting for him and I found a lot of stuff I didn't like. You should google: "Mike Huckabee: A Stealth Flip-Flopper"; "Another Man From Hope"; "Huckabee: A New American Quisling".

[chukmaty]

Mike is strong for this nations laws... he is just very careful that he gives his opponents no ammunition to say he is anti immigration or a racist... he disarms the arguments of his liberal enemies with ease.

[ecconights]

Mike has always said we need fences, he just points out that it is more the goverments fault for not doing anything.

[SecureTheBorder]

Yes, Huckabee sure wants the government to do something. Just recently, he advocated the dems expansion of SCHIP, which would have provided free healthcare to millions of illegals. Huck talks a big game about securing the border, but promotes giving illegals benefits. He's a phony.

[ecconights]

advicated, or didn't say anything about it? I haven't heard him say anything. Two that doesn't really matter about boarder fences does it? Part of the illegal immigration discussion yes, but you are trying to blend the two together. He is about boarder security he just doesn't think deporting them all is the way to go. Go after the emplorers which he has always said.

[SecureTheBorder]

He said he wouldn't have vetoed the bill...Giving illegal aliens benefits does have a lot to do with border security because many illegal aliens would self-deport if we didn't give them benefits. Huckabee is a fraud and a traitor.

[chukmaty]

You are right ecco, he called the SCHIP for what it was, a political charade to destroy Bush even more. He was not going to be drawn into that mire and instead he wanted to show what he WOULD do as opposed to what he wouldn't do.

[SecureTheBorder]

Huckabee is a phony. Just check his record when it comes to illegal immigration. He even had a meeting with LULAC and gave some cash for a mexican consulate in Arkansas. He's no better than El Presidente Jorge Boosh.

[chukmaty]

Actually he is the only politician who can go to his opposition and find common ground and explain why he is disagreeing with them. He is a political evangelist.

He stays on coarse and does not let liberals accuse him of hate. He makes the right appeals and is willing to face those who hate him.

You need to do your research.

[SecureTheBorder]

You're right. He does not let the liberals accuse him of hate because he joins with them in denigrating anyone who is against the illegal invasion. In the past he has called Americans racist, demagogues, and un-Christian for daring to enforce the law.

[ecconights]

I also have done my research on Mr. Huckabee, and I am not saying this is your fault, but many things people quote on him are taken out of contex. Calling people racist for example on the boarder for example. Mr. Huckabee did say that racism drove SOME people, but not all or even most. Living in Texas a boarder state myself see this to be true in some ways. I am not calling anyone who wants to close the boarder a racist, I want the boarder closed myself. But please know about the media spin.

[chukmaty]

Again, truly off base.. he just answers liberals with conservative solutions with out coming off like a total A hole like say, Tancredo.

He is not a demagogue, he is someone that he know how to solve problems.
