Thread: My response from Gov. Huckabee

Subject : Re: Statement from Governor Huckabee




I received your comments regarding a speech I gave in Little Rock and
I'd like to clarify my remarks for you.

As a Southern Governor and son of the South, I am deeply aware of the
brutal hurt and racial injustices that resulted from the failed policy
of segregation. Those wounds have been slow to heal and have had a
profound effect on our society. Arkansas has made a lot of progress but we
have a way to go.

As America continues to welcome new legal immigrants, one of our
greatest challenges is to create public policies that promote social justice
as well as to empower individuals to achieve their greatest dreams.

This is the foundation of freedom that makes our nation great -- and a
beacon of hope around the world.

My comments yesterday were in response to a question about race relations, not U.S. immigration policy.

On that front, I believe strongly that America must protect our
borders from those who break the law and who try to entering our country
illegally.

Sincerely,
Governor Mike Huckabee (AR)

COMMENTS: Sir,
I just read your remarks concerning illegal aliens..lawbreakers just by being here.

We are in this mess because of politicians like you!

The politicians lack of will to handle this matter, especially the leaders of Calif., AZ, Nv. NM, now you...has allowed these invaders to cross into other States.

Taking entitlements that should go to our OWN citizens, taking jobs that American's once held. YES, they do take the jobs, because employers pay them less, and they live 20 to 30 in one house!

There have been more Americans killed since 9/11 by these illegals, than soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They drive drunk, without insurance or licenses, many are the worst criminals we have seen, many are sex offenders.

You are importing drugs and criminals into OUR Country!

It's time to start taking care of America and American workers, for a change!

We are tired of both Parties turning their backs on us, as you all give away our jobs, take our taxes to fund illegals and new Visa workers!

I will work hard to see you are not elected for President in 2008, as well as McCain and anyone else that wants every foreigner here to over populate our Country!

We are sick of politicians that kowtow to special interests groups, just to get votes and campaign contributions!

It's disgusting to see our politicians with such little pride and loyality to America and her citizens!

That is the exact same response I got, word for word.
