Huckabee seems to be a shyster, kind of an old timey snake oil salesman. He's good at reading the political winds, so he claims he won't give amnesty. BUT, his immigration plan hides his 'touchback' mindset which he let slip on the TV interview. It's not 'amnesty' to him if he makes them go back for a few days and then brings them in newly minted as LEGAL immigrants. I could just envision his statement...'but its not amnesty because I am making them leave the country, thier families, their jobs, their homes, their community in order to be legalized.' When in reality, they had a vacation for a day or two back in the home country while their paperwork was being prepared to let them back in real quick to their familes, their same job, their existing home and same community.
He's playing with words and is definately obfuscating. I woldn't trust him as far as I could throw myself!
You said it all, Zeezil! Good one!
I also heard him weasel out of another one...an interviewer asked him why he was supporting a 'path to citizenship. Huckabee didn't miss a beat, but the wheels were spinning..."I didn't say what that path would be, did I?" What a snaky guy!
