Mike Huckabee told the crew at Fox & Friends this morning that he understood his stance on immigration was not particularly popular among Republicans, and he didn’t support and executive order for it, but the policy President Obama tried to implement for young undocumented people was something he had also attempted to pass in Arkansas. “You don’t punish a kid for what his or her parents did,” he argued, saying the policy was not a “job-killer.”
“The content itself, the goal, it’s an admirable thing,” Huckabee argued, adding that he had “tried to pass a similar measure in Arkansas,” but it failed in Congress and he let it lie. “It never occurred to me that I could simply bypass the legislature and do what I wanted to do,” he added, calling it “basic constitutional 101,” so much so that the President had previously said himself that he could not pass the bill along.

All of them have violated us laws, the 14th. amendment was not for them.
And you don’t deny kids who’s parents played by the rules from admissions or job opportunities.
GTH Huckabee, give up your job and those of your family et al to illegals if you really believe in your own crap.
This is the same reason that I was never for Huckabee, though he has some stances that I might call conservative, he is far, far to “sympathetic” to folk that covvet both my land and my purse, misguided Christianity.
A major huck-up in my book, and anyone’s book who supports the LAW. What Obama did was CRIMINAL.
My guess is that only Huckabee and O’Rielly are the only two at FOX that support this illegal and ethically wrong political move by our “law-abiding” president.
Huck is a gladhanding douchebag. Why do so many Arkansas politicians act like they should be selling used cars?
How many Irish, English, German, Russian, Polish, Italian etc. illegals kids are allowed get in on this?
I can assure you we DO have illegals here from those “White” countries, and many more.
Is it just limited to “Hispanic”?
What was that, “Equality under the law”? /s
Not with this regime, under this regime we pick and choose who the law is applied to on arbitrary basis.
Under the Constitution we are supposed to have three “Co-Equal” branches of government, not an executive dictatorship.
Congress MUST reverse this ASAP.
Mike Huckabee told the crew at Fox & Friends this morning that he understood his stance on immigration was not particularly popular among Republicans
Well Mike that is why you are not running for President.
Your stance is not popular with AMERICANS..
Including Millions of American Immigrants who came here legally and worked within the system to become Americans.
Awarding any result of a criminal action is wrong for America
“You don’t punish a kid for what his parents did”. Didn’t Huck’s kid get caught torturing dogs? Better try a different subject, Hick.
Re: ““You don’t punish a kid for what his or her parents did...”
Oh, OK.
Instead you punish the Republican Party and Conservatives by legalizing 800,000 new Democrat voters.
Michael Vick is Huckie’s kid? I thought I saw a resemblance!
So he’s auditioning to be Milt’s VP nominee? Great. Thurston Howell and Gilligan!!
This kind of thinking is ok for individual, but not for anyone in a position with power. If you are elected to an office, you are obligated to uphold the law.
That ‘comapssionate’ streak in a politician (in this case, Huckabee’s pardon of criminals) led to said criminals committing further crimes and more victims lost their lives. How do you compensate for that? Where do you draw the line?
Huckabee’s of the world do not care and did not think through the consequences of their compassionate actions, they only want to FEEL GOOD about themselves.
Curiously, the Soros minions and the radical socialists have managed to purge the internet of the speech, without a hint of its contents.
Well, today that is no longer possible, unless Hussein passes another Executive Order.
Enjoy.
Huckabee is an idiot. No wonder he went nowhere in ‘08.
Gomer’s Pile has opened in trap again and nothing but excrement has come out.
FU F-A-BEE
With the exception of my 6th great grandfather, John Carpenter (a neighbor, close associate, friend and revolutionary brother in arms of one George Washington) in my paternal grandmother Robinson’s family, my other English and German ancestors waited in sometimes years long lines, got on a hot, crowded, rickety ship, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Ellis Island.
My wife’s English and Irish ancestors also waited in sometimes years long lines, got on a hot, crowded, rickety ship, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Ellis Island.
There they were deloused, given a cursory medical exam, interrogated, their immigration papers checked and, with just what they were able to carry, took the ferry to the mainland to begin their lives as “Americans.” Those who did not have a complete grasp of English soon undertook formal and informal of the native language and the rest, as they say, is history.
That’s how it USED TO BE DONE.
The 14th Amendment, INTENDED by the drafters to ONLY grant citizenship to emancipated slaves by overturning the Dred Scott decision, has been tortured beyond recognition by the radical left to also include so-called “anchor babies” born to Latinas who stroll across the border to download junior HERE to bypass all the normal immigration processes described above. As an intern in a San Diego ER, my late niece caught many of those babies as part of her OB/GYN training.
By executive fiat, today Obama just took the first step to COMPLETELY open our borders (trust me, it is the first step only!) His action makes FOOLS of those who, like our great-great grandparents, played by the rules. It also makes fools of those waiting in those overseas lines to come here THE RIGHT WAY!!!
A wag declared that a nation without borders is NOT A NATION!!
A Latino “immigration lawyer” on FNN this morning said that if Congress doesn’t like it, they can change the law. He went on to say “THEY DON’T HAVE THE GUTS.” Sadly, he’s right. But if these clowns on Jenkins’ Hill think those latinos (legal and illegal) are going to vote for the GOP, they should be careful to not let their minds wander: They’re too small to be out alone.
Not that it would do any good, I called my congresscritters’ (202-224-3121) this morning to ask when they plan to offer Articles of Impeachment for this, the Law of the Seas Treaty, the activities of Holder, et al, the waste of taxpayer bucks on the green jobs idiocy, etc., etc. I’ll spare you the entire list as it runs to a few hundred pages. If impeachment is not their plan, I asked them to have the decency to RESIGN as the first branch of this government is clearly no longer needed and Obama could use the bucks saved to help buy the coming “election” or perhaps resume his taxpayer funded World Tour.
Bottom line? If you are STILL unconvinced that this guy is a clear and present danger to YOUR way of life, you probably live in a refrigerator crate behind a vacant warehouse. And if that is NOT your current living condition, re-elect this guy and it shortly will be.
Izzy, your comment nails it.
When I first saw Obama’s statement, I thought, “The guy just committed political suicide.”
But, no...
The GOP leadership is demanding its right to commit political suicide first!
Hey Huckabee:
American kids grow up in foreign countries all the time while their parents serve away from home.
Then they all go home to America.
How’s that for an American Dream Plan?
Go Home!
That first sentence is exactly what Crocket said and you opined.
No rational human being can disagree with that.
