 Mike Huckabee's Shamnesty for Illegal Aliens!

In August of 2005, I was called for an interview by THV-TV News out of
Little Rock Arkansas to comment on Governor Mike Huckabee's comments
complaining about an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on
local chicken plants, which resulted in the arrest of 119 illegal
aliens. What I said during the interview is even more relevant today
"Governor Huckabee is known nationally as an illegal alien’s best
friend!"
At the time, Mike Huckabee was known nationally for supporting
in-state tuition for illegal aliens, which is massively opposed by
American voters four to one! This plan forces American taxpayers to
subsidize tuition for illegal aliens, thus replacing American students
in the limited seats in colleges, while providing the wrong message and
encouraging more people to illegally immigrate and bring their children
into the U.S. to be trained for jobs, it is illegal for them to have!
The fact that Mike Huckabee would support a policy change despised
by 80% of those he swore to represent in public office says a lot about
what we could expect from the man as President.
Furthermore, his open denouncement of ICE raids in Arkansas is
probably the result of his heavy financial support from Open Borders
corporations like Tyson Foods. In Arkansas, the chicken processing
lobby is so powerful they call it "Big Chicken".
While the public was cheering the raids, Tyson Foods was upset
about ICE raids and so was their bought and paid for politician Mike
Huckabee!
Tyson Foods Inc., has their global headquarters located in Springdale,
Arkansas and they are the worlds largest processor and marketer of
chicken, beef, and pork. They were large contributors to Mike Huckabee
as Governor and now their federal political action committee, TYPAC, is
backing his campaign for President.
Tyson Foods Inc. is one of the most egregious corporate violators of our Federal laws against hiring illegals in America!
In 2003, the U.S. Justice Department claimed that 15 Tyson plants
in nine states had been conspiring since 1994 to recruit illegal
immigrants, and that this practice was known by senior executives at
Tyson corporate headquarters. It was determined in court that Tyson
managers had been intentionally working with organized crime elements
and temporary service agencies to import illegal alien workers, replace
their American workers, and drive down wages. Tyson agreed to join the
basic pilot program to screen new employees in 2004, but later raids
continued to find large numbers of illegal aliens working for Tyson!
Earlier this year, the company supported the thrice-failed
"Comprehensive Immigration Reform" amnesties that were pushed in the
U.S. Senate. These legislative attempts to legalize Tyson's illegal
labor workforce failed due to massive public opposition with Zogby
polls showing only 3% of Americans approving of how Congress was
handling the issue! The backlash was so massive that angry calls to
lawmakers, which were ranging 50 to 1 opposed, overloaded and shut down
the entire Capital phone system!
Mike Huckabee is now experiencing a surge in the polls as GOP core
voters continue to abandon John McCain and Rudy Giuliani for their pro
Amnesty pro illegal alien records and stances. This is bringing
Huckabee's immigration stances into the limelight for scrutiny and his
campaign is fully aware that missteps on this issue can send him back
down the ladder like McCain and Giuliani.
That is why his campaign has released the "The Secure America Plan"
which details his 9-point plan to facilitate the "enforcement of our
immigration laws and results in the attrition of the illegal immigrant
population"
This is exactly what America wants to hear, America wants to hear
about reducing the number or illegal aliens in America. Americans want
illegal aliens to return to their home nations as current law dictates!
However, there is a big problem with Huckabee's plan. While most of
the provisions will be positively received by the American public,
especially voters, his promises to crack down on employers, build a
fence, and bolster the border patrol are all nullified by positions
number 3 and 9.
Huckabee makes it clear that illegal aliens will have to leave the
U.S. However, what he is advocating is the 'touch back' provision which
was a trick fielded by the supporters of the failed "Comprehensive
Immigration Reform" amnesty bills in the U.S. Senate this year.
In position #9, Huckabee says he would increase visas and expedite
immigration processes so "those patiently and responsibly seeking to
come here legally will not have to wait decades to share in the
American Dream"
Such changes would clearly increase legal immigration levels, which
already stand at 1.4 million per year, making America the most generous
nation in the world for legal immigration. The majority of the American
public, while generally supportive of legal immigrants, is in no mood
for such a massive expansion of legal immigration levels considering
the intense public backlash against illegal immigration.
Huckabee's intent to expedite legal immigration ties into the real
problem with his plan. This is revealed in item #3, where he would
grant amnesty to illegal aliens by having them sign up with the
government and then leave the U.S. for a day or two and later on pick
up new documents across the border to walk back in and say "Look at me!
I came in legally this time!"
What a devilish farce! Millions of illegal aliens in America would
quickly have no fear of immigration law enforcement and would be on the
"path to citizenship" receiving benefits at the taxpayers’ expense.
This provision would in effect nullify all of the other immigration
enforcement promises of Mike Huckabee.
The mere fact that Mike Huckabee's campaign is imitating the
tactics that the pro Amnesty lobby in Washington, DC deployed earlier
this year tells us exactly who he serves and that he is willing to try
and deceive the American public to accomplish his political agenda!
Mike Huckabee has is now promoting the Pence Plan that we call
SHAMNESTY!
One more President like that in the White House and we can kiss
America goodbye. We will have millions of illegal aliens who have
become untouchable by immigration authorities and millions more on the
way once America has shown she is defenseless against the Global
corporations pushing this agenda!
It gets worse, according to Michelle Malkin's article "Meet the
GOP's Border Control Cross-Dressers" (Dec. 11, 2007) Huckabee joins
McCain and Guiliani on the dishonest pro amnesty politician front!
It appears that Mike Huckabee has been pandering to the Open
Borders Hispanic racist group LULAC (League of United Latin American
Citizens), where he has promised them an 'open door' policy. He has
also criticized state legislators in Arkansas who wanted to require
proof of citizenship to register to vote! That really takes the cake
when you think about the fact Mike Huckabee wants illegal aliens to be
able to vote!
Even more disturbing is Mike Huckabee's decision to follow the
deplorable lead of Senator's Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy by deriding
Americans who are concerned about illegal immigration and opposed to
the Senate AMNESTY bills as "driven by racism or nativism."
In an attempt to build street credibility, the Huckabee campaign
claims they were inspired to create their plan from an article by
Center for Immigration Studies (Cis.org) Mark Krikorian. While Mr.
Krikorian is renowned for his concepts of attrition enforcement, he is
opposed to the Touchback amnesty provisions Huckabee's team built in as
this measure would nullify all of the other enforcement provisions
listed! Mr. Krikorian, while cited as a source by Mike Huckabee's team,
would probably call the plan another "No Amnesty Amnesty".
Mike Huckabee is clearly an Open Borders fanatic.
This is why there is a shockwave moving through the immigration
enforcement movement after hearing of the endorsement of the Huckabee
campaign by Co-Founder of the original Minuteman Project, Jim
Gilchrist.
The embarrassing truth is that Jim Gilchrist has forced distance
between himself and the vast majority of other groups and leaders in
the immigration enforcement movement over the last year because of his
egotistical, unstable, destructive, and growingly bizarre behavior. His
behind the scenes actions have created a great deal of alarm from
groups such as ALIPAC who were a part of the original Minuteman effort
and who have supported Mr. Gilchrist in the past.
After Jim Gilchrist split with co-founder Chris Simcox of the
Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, he quickly made enemies out of any group
that refused to take a side in the conflict. He would not respect the
neutrality of other sovereign groups and adopted an "with us or against
us" stance that drove many away.
Jim Gilchrist's last attempt to muster Minutemen volunteers fell
apart during the Laredo Texas operations he launched. While the opening
day had many attendees, within one week there were less than ten
volunteers on the border and Gilchrist himself was not even present
most of the time.
Since that time, Jim has been engaged in a bitter battle against
the Executive Board of his 501(c) organization after they terminated
him from his position as director, which has thrown the whole
organization into court battles. While most of our movement was neck
deep in the battle against the Senate "Comprehensive Immigration
Reform" amnesty bills, Gilchrist was busy sending out his next wave of
bitter e-mails decrying the actions of the "hijackers" of his
organization.
Many of us in the movement have been keeping quiet about these
problems, the threatening e-mails, and personal attacks, hoping that
Jim Gilchrist would fade into the background, where his reckless
behavior and failed organization could do no further harm to the
movement, which is much bigger than Minuteman. We had hoped that his
initial contributions to the cause in Minuteman 1 could be saved from
his actions of late. Today, the rest of the nation is painfully
learning what we know about Jim Gilchrist, due to his endorsement of
pro amnesty Open Borders Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
Since the Minuteman Project is a tax-free nonprofit organization,
which is prohibited by law from endorsing candidates, one has to wonder
why Jim Gilchrist is making endorsements for President, which will
surely be challenged by other Presidential campaigns and pro amnesty
groups.
Perhaps Jim just skimmed over the Huckabee plan like many Americans
will do and fell for the bait? It is likely that he was so happy to
hear from a Presidential campaign in the midst of his isolation that he
jumped at the opportunity to be relevant again?
Jim Gilchrist and Mike Huckabee have made a terrible mistake by
supporting a Presidential campaign which has stances in favor of
"touchback" amnesty for illegal aliens, benefits for illegal aliens,
voting access for illegal aliens, "comprehensive immigration reform"
amnesty, expanded visa programs, and more legal immigration. They are
both attempting to give the illegal aliens, the US Chamber of Commerce,
and their supporting groups like Tyson Foods, LULAC, and La Raza
exactly what they want, while trying to dupe the American public.
As Americans representing the 80% of our fellow countrymen and
women who oppose this radical Open Borders agenda, we must do all we
can to expose Mike Huckabee's true stances and record. We must also
make it clear to Jim Gilchrist that he has just erased any positive
contributions he may have made in the past to the immigration
enforcement movement by lending his support to an 'Illegal Alien's best
friend'.
