Welcome SierraPatriot :) Maybe this can help.
With 12 ethic charges, I can't understand how Christian Conservatives can continue to believe Huckabee's golden tongue. His No Amnesty pledges are just dishonest. One only needs to see Huckabees record and Mexican consulate expansion in his home state to to see his Pro-Amnesty positions. It is easy for him to say no amnesty because he simply never acknowledged it was amnesty in the first place. He always said it wasn't amnesty, it was dealing with the immigration problem and things of that nature. He is for rewarding the illegals and his record simply and clearly indicates this.
2006: Supported President Bush's immigration plan and claimed that opposition to Bush's proposal was RACIST and that it WASN'T AMNESTY.. (Ralph Hallow,Huckabee Serious About Presidency, Washington Times, 5/17/06)

LITTLE ROCK (AP) Gov. Mike Huckabee says he's not afraid of risking his political future by speaking out against a recent immigration raid at an Arkadelphia poultry plant EVEN THOUGH CALLS TO HIS OFFICE HAVE BEEN about a 1000 to 1 AGAINST his stance. Immigration officials arrested 119 illegal immigrants at Petit Jean Poultry after auditing the company's records. Agents said many workers illegally purchased or stole U.S. birth certificates and Social Security cards, then used the documents to obtain ID cards, bearing their photos, from the state of Arkansas. http://www.alipac.us/modules.php?name=N ... nt&sid=631
He SUPPORTED DRIVERS LICENSES for Illegals and DENOUNCED a bill that would deny welfare benefits for illegals, as well, as require proof of citizenship to register to vote. He claim they were un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life. .

Wrote in his 2007 book that implementing strict enforcement of immigration laws would be SHEER FOLLY and that we should give those here illegally a process through which they pay a reasonable fine for the small infraction of violating our border laws and agree to adhere to a pathway toward legal status and citizenship.(Mike Huckabee, From Hope to Higher Ground, 2007, p. 117-118)
He also believes that there is not a problem with illegal workers taking our jobs. He was against denying jobs to illegal immigrants, saying it's only RACISTS AND BIGOTS who think theres a real problem with this. But theres not.
Huckabee has to pay the price for his total disregard of our laws and his constant attempts at using Christianity to create a moral excuse for his decision to violate the constitution of the United States-the same nation he wants to lead! The same constitution that would grant him executive powers. Romney's life and record stands by his statements.
