Hi,
Earlier than usual, the GOP campaign to select a presidential candidate is turning into an elimination contest.
Mike Hackabee’s advocacy of illegal aliens and giving them in-State tuition benefits should put him on most people’s NO list. His rationale – make the illegal alien kid into a taxpayer rather than a tax-taker – is a false choice. The policy many taxpayers would support is to put the illegal alien invaders into concentration camps or chain gangs until they decided that the US is an unhealthy place for them to be.
Look for political opportunist-Huckabee to change his tune but don’t forget his real position.

Mike Huckabee wants to give tuition breaks to illegal aliens
On Tuesday, during yet another visit to Iowa, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said that he supports extending lower in-county tuition rates to illegal aliens. The County College of Morris administration recently proposed not only allowing illegal aliens to enroll but to pay the lower rate as well. Huckabee said: “I decided I’d rather see that kid become a taxpayer, rather than a tax-taker. Many businesses — they say they do not want illegal immigration, but what they do want is very cheap labor.†Of course, Huckabee has been spending a great time in Iowa of late, as he tries to garner support for another presidential run in 2012. While Huckabee’s comments may come as a surprise to many Republicans, they are actually very typical for the supposedly conservative Huckabee. While governor, Huckabee once denounced proposed legislation that would have prevented illegal aliens from voting and receiving state welfare benefits, saying it would simply stir-up “those who are racist and bigots.†He went on to say that if the measure passed, foreign companies would not invest in Arkansas because it would “send the message that, essentially, ‘If you don’t look like us, talk like us and speak like us, we don’t want you.’†Also, while governor, he publicly criticized ICE raids on chicken processing plants in his state in which hundreds of illegal aliens were arrested. Additionally, Huckabee was an ardent and vocal supporter of the McCain/Kennedy amnesty bill.
