Immigration group: Huckabee a 'disaster'
http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbc ... 00094/1002

"He was an absolute disaster on immigration as governor," said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, a group that played a major role in rallying the phone calls that helped defeat this year's Senate immigration bill. "Every time there was any enforcement in his state, he took the side of the illegal aliens."

Mr. Huckabee yesterday defended his record, but he said if voters are looking for the toughest guy, he's not their man.

"Is my answer satisfactory to all the Republicans? The answer's 'no.' " he said. "Some people want me to be a lot harsher. I think my answer is the honest and the right one."

He also said he's willing to take the heat for pushing for illegal alien students to be able to get taxpayer-funded financial aid and college scholarships.

I really like Mike a lot... so lets discuss this. THIS key issue keeps him from having a landslide.

You have to appreciate his honesty. At least it is refreshing. As far as the immigration problem, wow, who know the answer. All fences in the world won't really make a difference. NAFTA did not help at all.

So if he has any new ideas they are worth looking at. IMHO

Paul, I understand and agree about not knowing the solution..

but I guess we can agree that good fences make good neighbors. I see nothing wrong with building an effective fence. It's been proven to immediately stop crossover everywhere it's been correctly applied.

Mike needs to focus on this agreeing point and focus on the other later.
