Relative Huckster
Saturday, January 26, 2008

Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, suddenly taking a hard right on immigration, has signed a pledge to enforce U.S. immigration laws and send all illegal aliens packing.
Oh, it's a "tough plan," he said, but a "fair and reasonable" one.

Right. This from the former governor of Arkansas who pushed for taxpayer-paid tuition for illegal aliens and who has been no friend of law-enforcement crackdowns on illegals at the federal or state levels.

None of this, however, is the least bit surprising.

Just this month Minuteman Project founder and Huckabee supporter James Gilchrist told The Washington Times that Mr. Huckabee, if elected, would bird-dog a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegals.
Well, not really, Camp Huck later informed. Speaking out of the other side of his mouth, Huckabee told CNN he hadn't given the subject much thought.

If candidate Huckabee is this wishy-washy on immigration, what could the nation expect from President Huckabee on any number of issues?

For all the candidate's preaching about conviction and principle, Republicans certainly won't find either in Mike Huckabee. As his immigration relativism proves.
