Thanks for posting the information from Huckabee’s website. I wouldn’t be terribly concerned about this issue if Huckabee openly admitted that his views on immigration had changed. What bothers me is that he seems to be misleading American’s about his record on immigration. In your post from his website it says that “the Governor opposes and will never allow amnesty” and that “Governor Huckabee opposed the amnesty bill...” How do you reconcile those statements with the fact that just one year ago he told the Washington Post that “What should happen, however, is EXACTLY WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS PROPOSED, and that is that we create a process where people make restitution for the fact they have broken the law.” To me Huckabee’s lying/misleading about his record shows a lack of integrity and I had been ready to support Huckabee as my second choice if Hunter dropped out.
Good point.
I wish that Gov. Huckabee would just honestly say, “I’ve changed my position.”
Why do so many people who flame Huckabee on immigration never say who they do support?
I have noticed that a lot of people who want to spread these lies about Huckabee and illegal immigration never seem to want to say who they think would be a better nominee than Huckabee or why.
While Huckabee’s record on illegal immigration may not be perfect, IMHO it is as good or better than any of the other current GOP front-runners. A lot of people agree with this point of view about Huckabee. I will post some more evidence about this to you later.
If you don’t mind, may I ask each of you what candidate you do support? Or are you all afraid to say?
And whoever your candidates may be, how is his actual record better than Huckabee’s with regard to the issue of illegal immigration?
If you support Hunter, no need to give any evidence. IMHO, Hunter has shown real leadership on this issue.
