I wish Huckabee would give up his presidential aspirations and do something else. Maybe he can revive his dorky but entertaining weekly show. The presidency is not for him.

I wonder if he's receiving some compensation from the elitists to run a campaign he won't win just to siphon off conservative votes.

He is running for the thrill of running, nothing further.

And to sell books, get another TV show, be a pundit on cable news, get paid for speeches, etc.

The only running I want to see him do is to take all the weight off he's regained.

This whole path to citizenship is stupid.
If you polled all the latin-americans on this issue, very few would want become us citizens. They want to work, earn money and mail it home. They would want o stay Mexicans, not Americans.

Here’s one other solution that we can consider — Change our immigration laws from JUS SOLI to JUS SANGUINIS.

So, is there anything wrong with enacting another version of President Eisenhower’s Bracero Program?

I have not heard any politicians talking about fast tracking the processing of those who’ve been waiting legally in line to become American citizens.

All I hear is politicians looking to fast track the citizen process for scofflaws who have engaged in identity theft and falsification of paperwork for years.

Again, it sounds discriminatory to me to give preferential treatment to those who broke laws over those who have been patiently doing the right thing.

Fair enough. I’ll never back down saying that Huck is a doofus socialist posing as conservative Christian with a lower skillset than Jim and Tammy Baker.

A friend of mine already did his taxes. He paid the Obamacare tax because he does not have insurance and did not qualify for the exemption (which included being an illegal alien).

It doesn’t pay to be a citizen here these days.

it has everything to do with removing future incentives for the parents to break the law

And THAT is the most succinct way to put it.

No one wants to be "mean" to somebody who's only memory is growing up in the U.S.

But they are simply pawns of those who want to use them for their own power - because they know that if they are amnestied, the rest of the family then gets brought in legally as happened as a result of the '86 Amnesty.

Within one generation you have entire Mexican villages living in a few houses on the same block in Los Angeles. And all screaming for more freebies from the Gringos.

There is no reason for any American citizen to vote for anyone who advocates for illegal aliens to enter this country, and take jobs that American citizens could have had, especially when we have 37.2% of working-age American citizens without jobs.

Today's jobs report, while overall very strong, showed a slight tick down in the labor force participation rate, from 62.8% last month to 62.7% this month. It's now at the lowest rate since 1978. Why the participation rate has fallen so much is one of the most hotly debated questions in economics.Oct 3, 2014

Enjoy your “Dreamer” votes, Huckabee, because real Americans will not vote for you.

Those are legal terms IN LATIN, from which many of our legal terms derive (e.g. HABEAS CORPUS).

Jus sanguinis (Latin: right of blood) is a principle of nationality law by which citizenship is not determined by place of birth but by having one or both parents who are citizens of the state.

Jus soli (Latin: right of the soil), also known as birthright citizenship, is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born in the territory of the related state.

Our citizenship policies are based on Jus Soli and that is the problem... many illegals come here and have babies born in the USA who are CITIZENS BY BIRTH.

We then do not deport the parent because the child is a citizen and needs his/her parent to raise and take care of him (in his country ).

The illegal parent then becomes a DE FACTO permanent resident.

I can’t imagine a scenario where I’d vote for the huckster whatever his stance is on the “dreamers”.
