Noting that he might not agree 100 percent on immigration with Huckabee, the firebrand illegal immigration opponent said Huckabee's recently released immigration plan won him over.
"The governor has a plan and I appreciate his plan. That's why I'm supporting him. He's one of the few who's actually brought forth a plan and gone public with it. It shows to me that he's willing to engage in the tough love necessary to fix this problem," Gilchrist said.
Gilchrist, whose organization is separate from the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, has drawn protests in appearances at college campuses in recent months for his views on strict illegal immigration laws. Unlike the MCDC, whose primary role is to park volunteers along the U.S.-Mexico border to report jumpers to Border Patrol agents, the Minuteman Project calls attention to enforcement of state and federal laws relating to immigration.
Huckabee last week announced a get-tough immigration plan, proposing to construct a border fence with surveillance cameras by July 1, 2010, calling for an increase to the number of Border Patrol agents and imposing steep penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants.

Maybe he does. Did anyone check how he voted in 2004?
Bush was a mistake foisted upon us by the elites and media 9 years ago. Many conservatives learned from the repeated failures and lunacy of the Bush administration.
You got that right!
The world is upside down. I agree.

“The world is upside down. This is like the Wayne LaPierre endorsing Rudy.”
Worse. This is like Pat Robertson endorsing Rudy.
Not that one believe that would ever happen, right?
But Mitt is still better than Huck. Why not him?
Nothing was ever worse than that...nothing!
Makes no sense to me either.
Huckabee’s record on immigration has much to be desired.
One of these border groups has Bay Buchanan affliated with it...... Don’t remember which one. If it’s this one associated with Gilchrist the next endorsement maybe coming from Bay and Pat....
This is like Jesus endorsing Huckabee.
I guess we know the true intentions of the MM Project, don’t we?
Makes no sense to me either.
Huckabee’s record on immigration has much to be desired.
Somebody will need to tell me: what exactly is an illegal law? Only laws that violate the Constitution should be illegal, and most of us (I think) agree that laws should not violate the Constitution, so where's the controversy?
Fox needs a new editor.

Look I won’t vote for him in the primary either, but it has to be acknowledged that he has some skill/appeal. Imagine a GWB who was a better off-the-cuff speaker and relatively self-made instead of a silver spoon. That’s what Huckabee has going for him. He has alot of baggage and has no shot whatsoever in the Blue States, but so does Mrs. Clinton and she aint Miss Ohio. Again, we may not like it, but if Huck manages to win the nomination I’m not going to just cry and this thing to Billary.
If this is true then it puts Gilchrist in the phony category for me.
LOL!...OMG that is funny and close to true here on FR!
Why didn’t he just endorse Hitlery.........
