Huckabee Waffles On Federal Student Aid For Illegals

[sniperboy102]

"Im an illegal but i pay taxes, and help out in the community. This country has given me everything, and i would fight for this country, that's why im joining the US Army."

Any Comments on this quote?

[Oxbloodred]

Thank you for loving the US that much! but please don't join the US ARMY..because we're at WAR and you may return diabled or you may be killed..I am sure that you have much more to offer us! Please reconsider! Please don't go!

You should be legally here. Or you are a criminal. Got it?

[sniperboy102]

if u give them knowledge they can help the country by getting a job

Unless we are willing to take necessary steps, like leeches attaching to a new blood supply, illegals will continue to overrun our borders, draining valuable resources earmarked for your children and mine, paid for with our tax money. And, like those pesky relatives who sometimes come to visit but seem to never leave, at some point the vacation ends." Its time to go home", you say.

If we enforce the law, there is no reason to expect a child of an illegal alien to go to the public schools. How does one register for school. My kids had to have a birth certificate and proof of immunizations before they got to start school.

Granted, the Federal government should enforce the laws but are there no state laws that require legal citizenship?

This is from the Drudge Report, hardly a liberal news source: 'Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal. The Democratic National Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, until he secures the party's nomination. The directive has come down from the highest levels within the party, according to a top source. Within the DNC, Huckabee is known as the "glass jaw -- and they're just waiting to break it."'

It would not hurt to separate people with AIDS, people who are homosexuals, muslims, and extremist jews. They should put them in concentration camps and "disinfect" the country just like hitler did in WWII!!! It would be good for the world if they were gone. They should do that to homosexuals too!! They should also do that to muslims and extremists jews!!! The world be a better place without these kind!!!

I just threw up in my mouth.

Ron Paul or "Non-Civil" Civil Revolution-- Take Your Pick.

[illegaldestroyer]

Huckabee Finn has supported illegal aliens as governor of Arkansas. He is almost as bad on the illegal immigration issue as Senatore Juan McCaine!

[ljrahn]

No, he is actually WORSE than John McCain on immigration. Huckabee is so liberal on immigration he makes Ted Kennedy look like Tom Tancredo.

[rk401]

yea vote for him stupid people!

[ammaroo1975]

Huckabee denies evolution. The word 'rational' doesn't belong in his mouth.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

If the kids were in "our schools" "By law" that would make them LEGAL asshole. They were ILLEGAL so they weren't in our schools BY LAW. Man this guy is a big idiot.

[BigDumbNerd]

Children of Illegal immigrants. If the Children of Illegal immigrants are born in the US, they're LEGAL American citizens BY LAW. Which, incidentally, is what he was talking about, and what the student aid was going to.

So who's the idiot here: the guy who has his facts confused (you) or the guy who has them in order (Mike Huckabee)?

Now we can argue all day whether or not children of illegals born in the States should be citizens or not, but that's the law at hand.

[throughstruggle1134]

Mike Huckabee is a biblical idiot and a false prophet to all those crazy evangelicals....

[mattbstl30]

his true colors are shining through now. Once he starts being looked at in closer detail it will be found he is not really a strong candidate.

[JohnQPublixx]

Yep, give um' enough rope and they will hang themselves - Except Ron Paul.

[American1stN4most]

Busted... this guy thinks taxes are a handout for illegal aliens

[lillypadlodge]

WoW! WHAT may I ask, would make any American want this person as our president? He's going to boost the economy by giving our country away to the illegal invaders. Get Real!!!

[REWHBLCAIN]

LOOOOOOOOOSER

[jjfuller72]

NOTE TO HUCKABEE . . . IT'S THIS KIND OF "COMPASSION CONSERVATISM" BY YOU AND OTHERS THAT IS JUST AS MUCH OF A MAGNET FOR ILLEGALS TO COME HERE AS ARE THE JOBS. YOU ARE COMPOUNDING AND PROPAGATING THE PROBLEM WITH SUCH POLICIES!

If govenrment has enough money to provide scholarships/tuition breaks shouldn't our own citizens and legal immigrants have first priority?

Is there even a question?

[skjusto]

Liberalism not conservatism.

[mahalo111]

This is exactly how Ron Paul differs from all the other candidates. He never votes based on his personal beliefs. It is always out of principle and rules set forth by the constitution. Hucklebee is willing to let Keith Richards off the hook because he idolizes him as a guitar player. And let us tax payers pay for the education of illegals because he feels like it's the right thing to do.

[jakelassiter]

Hmmm...I would have to say I am agreeing with Huckabee on all this. Sorry folks, it makes sense.

[GalacticAlignment]

Tisk, tisk, Mr. Taxabee.

[chromethink]

What amazes me is that he was obviously unprepared for the question about Federal Student Aid Programs. I mean, that question is just obvious.

[carcabe]

"What's troubling about The Man From Hope 2.0 is what he represents...compassionate conservatism on steroids...Huckabee believes that the biblical obligation to do "good works" extends to using government -- and your tax dollars -- to bring us closer to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth."
