Leaders Rebuke Gilchrist Endorsement of Huckabee

PLEASE POST, FORWARD, and BROADCAST!

Signed by 84 leaders of Immigration Enforcement Groups!

In reaction to Jim Gilchrist's (Co-Founder of Minutemen) lone endorsement of pro-amnesty Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee:

We, the undersigned, state that our organizations stand against racism and Amnesty for illegal aliens. Instead, we stand for the enforcement of our existing immigration laws, the securing of America's borders, and attrition enforcement.

We have dedicated our efforts to fighting illegal immigration and we are compelled to warn the American public about the immigration stance and record of Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee.

We denounce Jim Gilchrist's solo endorsement of a pro-amnesty and Open Borders candidate for President. Mr. Gilchrist does NOT speak for us!

Mike Huckabee is pro-amnesty and favors a "path to citizenship" for illegal aliens currently in the US, which would require a lifting of the current penalties.

Mike Huckabee is against ICE raids and decried them in his home state, when illegal aliens were arrested at companies that financially support his campaigns.

Mike Huckabee supports benefits for illegal aliens such as taxpayer subsidized in-state tuition.

Governor Huckabee also favors a "touchback" provision, which we feel is a trick to confuse voters. He would have illegal aliens leave for a day, pick up new papers, and then reenter the US LEGALLY, which is not the back of the immigration line! He has stated that illegal aliens could leave and "You do have a pathway to get back here legally that would take days, maybe weeks, not years."

Mike Huckabee supported Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty that failed in the US Senate and was rejected by a large majority of Americans. He stated that those who opposed the legislation are "driven by racism or nativism."

Mike Huckabee has distorted the goals of "attrition enforcement" and the positions of Mark Krikorian by adding visa expansions, expedited visas, and "touchback", which would counteract enforcement measures.

In truth, Mike Huckabee's stances on the illegal immigration issue are out of line with the vast majority of Americans.

Where's "You Don't Speak For Me"?

Where's MAIA?

Welcome dolz!!!!!!

Oh yes, I too agree with Tiny the second paragraph sentence needs some editing. Otherwise, excellent.

What about legislatorsforlegalimmigration.com? They just said in a national press conference that they have 32 or more state legislators who have taken a strong stance to enforce the laws because the government has not enforced them. What about Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Roy Beck and Steve Elliott?

Hey Tony!!! :D

We are up to 60 leaders and rising fast!

W

All I want for Christmas....

Mass Deportation! :lol:

Hi,

Your draft letter reads as if 'we' are against
enforcing our immigrations laws, too (first paragraph
below). Shouldn't this sentence be worded differently
to avoid confusion - that we are against amnesty but
SUPPORT enforcement, border control?

The way the draft reads:

"We, the undersigned, state that our organizations
stand against racism and Amnesty for illegal aliens
and for the enforcement of our existing immigration
laws, the securing of America's borders, and attrition
enforcement."

Suggested language?

"We, the undersigned, state that our organizations
stand against racism and Amnesty for illegal aliens
but support the enforcement of our existing
immigration laws, the securing of America's borders,
and attrition enforcement." (or something like that)

THANKS for all you do!!!!!!!!!!!

More suggested tweaks to wording in second paragraph:

"We, the undersigned, state that our organizations
are opposed to racism and Amnesty for illegal aliens.
We support enforcement of our existing
immigration and employment laws, the securing of America's borders,
and attrition through enforcement."

"support" is a little weak. "Demand" or "insist upon" too strident/ Hillaryesque. "Strongly support" -- qualifiers actually weaken. Is there another word? "endorse"? "Support" may be the best option.

I believe that the usual phrase is "attrition through enforcement", though I sometimes state it as "attrition and self-deportation, through enforcement". So far, the only leading candidate to explicitly endorse "attrition through enforcement" is Thompson. I wish that Romney would add it to his very strong "no amnesty" message, to clarify in no uncertain terms his plan for the illlegal aliens now in the country.

I'm very glad you used the phrase in your letter. It is the sine qua non element in fixing the mess, and the future for illegals now in the country is what most of the candidates refuse to talk about. (Giuliani's radio ad for NH only says: "If anyone becomes a citizen" he wants them to read and write English. "IF"? What kind of a plan is "If"? )

Like the change William.

William, I sent you an e-mail with some suggestions regarding the statement along with my phone number if you wish to discuss. Thanks.

Frankly, I can not even rationalize why these politicos continue these discussions on "illegal immigration." If someone entered this (or any country) by breaking the host country's laws, then that person committed a crime, & has therefore, ILLEGALLY entered by whatever means. How many other laws will be broken once here? We have to know who enters this country. Perhaps, if our security was better, 9/11 could have been disrupted. We certainly have avoided many others. Our borders are the weakest point of entry. Remember, all those people who came through Ellis Island, those who were turned away after failing certain strict requirements to enter? Yes, they were Europeans, but the minorities of their time. I guess that is not PC right now.

We need candidates for President down through all levels of Congress who know that we can achieve mass voluntary deportation only by maximizing fines and prison sentences for those who employ the illegal aliens. Then really go after them! I personally believe that, to get Congress in tune with the will of the majority of Americans, we need to clean house of all incumbents. Especially all the "Bush Ass Kissers"
Maybe all those who have served more than one term.

I have posted the letter (with a back link to the signers) at by blog with encouragement to come here and add more supporters.

It is not just the illegal immigration items! Huckabee has praised "WalMarx" as an ideal business, he has praised Bush and said he has done a fine job.
Like I said earlier, would Jim have endorsed Iran's leader? He would talk to anyone to get noticed. Maybe the other GOOD candidates like Tancredo, Paul.... ?? were too busy to talk with someone who would be "anybody's dog that would hunt with him!"

All my staff and I at http://secureourborderstoday.com support this letter of yours William and thank you for your work!

I live in Arkansas and I can tell you the Huck is a sorry leader who is an habitual liar who can look anybody in the eye an lie. He has a history of telling good stories and not meaning a single word of what he just said. i.e. He promosed the poor in the state that if elected he would remove the state tax on food. IMMEDIATELY AFTE R HIS ELECTION BE SAID HE WOULD NOT DO THAT.. He has spent considerable time and effort getting a Mexican Colsulate to locate here in here in Little Rock and even gave them a state funded office until they could find and pay for their own office and that outfit now draws illegals from all the surrounding states.

If you think George W is bad you have no idea what the Huck will do to this country should he ever become president, God forbid that should ever happen. Jmsgtf

Welcome, JMSGTF. You are not the first to document the broken promises (AKA, lies) of the Huckster. Other Arkansas residents have told me of similar stories. I understand that he kept Bill Clinton's staff on after Slick Willy went to Washington and that he raised taxes for education, pushed for a seat belt law as well as initiatives to reduce obesity and get citizens in physical shape. Now he gets an endorsement from the National Education Assn., the first of its kind for a Republican candidate. Plus he is said to expand current government agencies if he gets elected. I'd like to know where in the Constitution this stuff is called for.

And then World Net Daily comes out with a piece exposing that Huckabee had only one year of seminary training and didn't know much about Mormonism. Well, I'll say this - I had 4 years of theological studies and I studied Mormonism and I know a heckuva lot more than he does. Along with his support for the illegal invasion, that is another reason not to support him and to support someone like Tancredo or Hunter.

I'd like to see more evangelicals like me come out and take a stand with Mr. Gheen and against Huckabee and Gilchrist and join ALIPAC, helping do the work our public officials won't. True compassion extends to the people who are here legally, not those who aren't, along with removing those who did not come under our laws. Border control existed in the Old Testament under the Lord's commands and it is a Biblical principle today if only the religious community would read the scriptures.

If you are a Christian like me and you run a Christian organization and/or have a Christian website and are reading this post, add your group to the 82 of us who signed the letter to rebuke the Huckster and Gilchrist. As director of the Stop the ACLU Coalition, I proudly endorse this effort (though I do so here in my own personal capacity) and so should you. Border control and enforcement is not only the right thing to do, it is the compassionate and Christian thing as well. Ask any citizen residing along our borders whose property and possessions were ravaged by someone coming here illegally.

Is Gilchrist nuts or did they pay him off?

We should do the same for Tancredo who just dropped out of the race and endorsed Romney.

I read early on that Tancredo did not think he would make it anyway.. But he ran to bring attention to the immigration issue, which he has (in spades).. He has done more for the illegal immigration issue then ANY politician out there.. Even though I have been seriously contemplating Romney, Tancredo is still my hero !!

Why would you even consider Romney, given his mediocre record on immigration? http://www.betterimmigration.com/candid ... res08.html Tancredo endorsing Romney is as shameful as Gilchrist endorsing Huckabee. Both have done a lot for our movement - once upon a time. But that doesn't change the fact that both have recently made foolish endorsements.

Dear Joe,

Simply get a clue! The Republican Nominee is going to be one of 3-4 people.

Mitt Romney, Rudy Guliani, John McCain or Mike Huckabee. Romney is clearly a better overall choice than either of the others.

Fred Thompson as a Senator for 8 years did nothing. McCain is Mr. Ammnesty, Guliani, you might as well vote for Hillary.

Romney as governor of MA can't force laws on the books if the Dems don't want to play, BUT he did order the State Police to enforce the immigration laws. Your being foolish to compare Huckabee to Romney. Show me anywhere that ANY other candidate actually ordered their law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. You can't. Romney is the ONLY one.

Tancredo's endorsement of Mitt Romney says that he sees clearly of those with a CHANCE to be president, who will do the most for America & immigration. You watch, I predict that Hunter will also back Romney, as will the others that are going to get cut once the caucuses have been held.

Romney will be a great president. Probably surpassing Reagan for restoring America to her Glory.
