Minuteman Project Founder Endorses Mike Huckabee

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.

The world is upside down. This is like the Wayne LaPierre endorsing Rudy.

[RockinRight]

This has GOT to be Scrappleface. Pissant, your analogy is correct, as well as:

It’s like Walter Williams endorsing Dennis Kucinich.

[dynachrome]

This is just wrong. Gilchrist doesn’t know Huck’s pro-illegal history?

[mnehring]

Why? It seems Huck stands for the Bush platform that the Minutemen were fighting against. I guess pop-culture candidate de’jour rules.

[Dante3]

Is this a joke?

[RockinRight]

This has GOT to be a joke!

[NeoCaveman]

This is like a chicken endorsing Colonel Sanders.

[donna]

Gilchrist jumps the shark.

[DoughtyOne]

WOW

[Petronski]

Perhaps Gilchrist is simply an idiot.

[mnehring]

Like George S Patton endorsing Ron Paul

[EyeGuy]

Its like George Washington endorsing the HildaBeast.

Gee Gilchrist, what about THE man Duncan Hunter, who has a detailed plan already worked out to have a complete, double barrier fence up in 6 months after he is elected?

[Kimberly GG]

This had better be a joke.

Huckabee is in favor of the Pence “Touchback” Scheme giving AMNESTY to the illegal aliens already here!!!

[Dead Corpse]

April 1st already?

[pissant]

Which Duncan Hunter put a stop to, BTW, when Pence was marching over to negotiate with the Senate.

[mysterio]

What!!!? What does Huckabee have on this guy?

[RockinRight]

I’d have expected a Hunter, Thompson, or Tancredo endorsement.

Not Huckabee.

[Paradox]

I guess this just goes to prove that people love to jump on bandwagons.

The Democrats, through the news media, are steering the Republican nominating process.
