Little ROCK —
In an impassioned speech before hundreds of influ­ential
Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation. Gov. Mike Huckabee
said Wednesday that   America is great because it has always opened its doors
to people seeking a better way of life.

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you,” Huck­abee said, citing the Golden Rule. “I have tried to govern that way, and
it stands to reason that I re­ally do
believe that what made this great country so great and so unique is that it has always been a place for people to run to — and not run from.

“I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a
place that opens its arms, opens it heart,
opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families _” Huckabee said as the largely
His­panic audience gave him a stand­ing
ovation.

 

Huckabee was
the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods, Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson at a noon luncheon of The League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.

About 10,000 political, com­munity and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are attending the convention at the



Statehouse Convention
Center.

In his opening remarks, Huck­abee said the nation will need to address the
concerns of the His­panic community because of its growing influence and population base.

“Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the mi­nority,” Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.

Despite several light moments, Huckabee
did not avoid several controversial issues
that made him a target of criticism during the 85th General Assembly. He said Arkansas
needs to make the tran­sition from a traditional Southern state to one
that recognizes and cherishes diversity
“in culture, in language and in population”

During the legislative
session, Huckabee criticized an
immigra­tion bill by Republican Sens.
Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes
of Fort Smith as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.

Senate Bill 206, which
died in the Senate, would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote and also force state agencies to report suspected cases of peo­ple living in the country illegally. Holt replied later to Huckabee’s comments that Christian charity does
not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking.

Huckabee also backed
legisla­tion that would have opened
the door for illegal immigrants in Arkansas
to receive college schol­arships.

House
Bill 1525 by Rep. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, was ap­proved by the House but eventu-ally failed in the Senate Huckabee reiterated Wednesday that he believes every child, regardless of their parents’ immigration status, should have an opportunity to re­ceive an education in the United States.

Before
Huckabee spoke, John Tyson thanked the Hispanic com­munity for standing by the Springdale-based food giant during the federal government’s investigation of the company a few years ago. The US.Justice Department investigation alleged that Tyson helped to smuggle illegal aliens into the United States and employed them at various chicken-
processing plants across the Southeast.                      

After a seven-week trial,
Tyson and several managers of
poultry processing plants were
acquitted in March 2003 of those
charges.

Tyson also credited LULAC leaders for pushing the company to add Hispanics to the Tyson board and promote more Latinos to upper management and executive positions.                    

He also said in the last 15 years,
the number of Hispanics who
work for the Arkansas company    
has increased significantly.______
