CNN: Don't ask Mike Huckabee this question

If CNN asks Mike Huckabee this question, it just might end his political career, as well as showing the millions who watch the debate just how lightweight the questions the mainstream media usually asks are. So, to avoid them actually doing both a public service and their job, I urge CNN not to select this video. Maybe the snowman has another probing question or something.

It concerns Mike Huckabee's strong support for illegal immigration. In 2003, on a visit to Mexico, he asked Vicente Fox to establish a consulate in Arkansas. Huckabee even arranged discount office space in a state office: just $1 per year ( http://24Ahead.com/blog/archives/006579.html ).

Since the consulate opened earlier this year, it's passed out countless "Matricula Consular" ID cards to illegal aliens. Those cards help illegal aliens send billions of dollars back home, helping to prop up the corrupt Mexican government. And, their consul even encouraged civic leaders to advocate for illegal immigration ( http://24Ahead.com/blog/archives/006884.html ).

Even the New York Times has alluded to Mexico overstepping its bounds ( http://24Ahead.com/blog/archives/006690.html ), and the FBI has called those ID cards a security risk ( http://www.parapundit.com/archives/001439.html ).

Did I mention that Arkansas is home to major poultry processing and other firms that are widely believed to employ large numbers of illegal workers?

UPDATE: Here's an overview of the issue which includes the news that a consortium of businesses agreed to pay Mexico's bills for the consulate:

The Mexican consulate provided Arkansas businesses with access to Mexico and opportunities to expand their markets, and would help further ensure that immigrants from Mexico are legal and better able to secure legal documentation. At the same time, the office would open up opportunities for Mexican investors to invest money with Arkansas partners, which would help create more jobs in the state.

ClingingMars: anyone who's familiar with these issues knows that Mexico uses its consulates to pass out ID cards to illegal aliens so they can more easily obtain U.S. ID, open bank accounts, and the like.

As the video says, even the New York Times has recognized that. Let me suggest reading the links in the description to learn what's really going on.

I just did a Google search and sure enough, there is a Mexican consulate in Boston and New York city. Little Rock is the Capitol of Arkansas. Why is it so unreasonable for Huckabee to support the opening of a Mexican consulate there? Maybe I'm just missing something.

[NoMoreBlatherDotCom]

vonflowers: there are 40+ Mexican consulates in the U.S., and they have more consulates here than any other country. It's unreasonable because he collaborated with that country to give them yet another beachhead from which to promote and profit from illegal immigration and from which to push their agenda inside the U.S.

It's also unreasonable because of the sweetheart deal he gave them: $1 rent, something that might have broken state law.

God, you're an idiot. 1) What exactly is wrong with having a Mexican consulate in your state? 2) A minute long question that demands only a yes or no Q is virtually always a bad and unfair question, but in this case it goes beyond that to horrible.

[NoMoreBlatherDotCom]

uricehe4: consulates have a useful purpose (and one covered by treaty), but Mexico goes beyond that. Their consuls try to get localities to accept their ID cards which are only of use to illegal aliens, and they pass out those cards to those who are here illegally.

As an example of why that's bad, that lets them open bank accounts, which lets the banks profit from illegal activity. They then donate part of that to politicians, who help the banks make more money. That's political corruption.

I think at this time I have made a decision. I am not crazy, I am not full of lies or conspiracies, but after everything I have seen out of Huck, Romney, and Giuliani.....I believe I will be voting for Ron Paul in my election! He is the only one who truly follows the constitution!

Congrats everyone! Sure everyone on here is happy to know AZ is leading the way with real legislation to fixing this problem!

Thank Goodness Arizona FINALLY made a move to protect the American Constitution from these common criminal invaders, drug runners, fly-by-night leeches, and human traffickers.
