Huckabee Calls for Hiatus on Immigrant Visas from Countries that Sponsor Terrorism
Sumter, SC-
Back in South Carolina after campaigning in Michigan this morning, Mike Huckabee toughened his stance on immigration today calling for a hiatus on immigrant visas that come from states that sponsor, or harbor terrorists.
“These are folks who have overstayed their welcome, every one of the 911 hijackers came here legally. Our government welcomed them in, ” Huckabee said to a group of 500 plus. “We ought to put a hiatus on people who come here, and give them permits, if they come from countries that sponsor and harbor terrorists. Let’s say until you get your act in order, and we get our act in order. We’re not going to just let you keep coming and threaten the future and safety of America.”

Huckabee has to outflank McCain on two fronts here in South Carolina: Immigration and with Evangelicals. The Huckabee campaign sees immigration, and McCain’s failed plan on comprehensive immigration reform as an achilles heel here in the Palmetto State.
WOW! Does this man actually think before he speaks?
We put economic sanctions on governments that harbor terrorists. We try to deal, or at least we should deal, with countries. We even go as far as military action because of a GOVERNMENTS actions towards terrorists. Now, we should try to stop every person from such a country from coming here? If I were in Iran or Cuba I would try to come here too, because the governments there are nuts. How does this help the situation? What advisors, if any, gave him any data that this would solve terrorist problems. That is insane as gun control laws. That is like saying, “Well the criminal got the gun legally so if we make it so no one can get a gun legally we won’t ever have another shooting.”
“Out source it to UPS” !!!!! Does anyone hear this bafoon for what he is? How does he expect legal immigrants to be tracked, a microchip? What happened to rights of the people? Does this not scare anyone. THE US GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRACK ANYONE? I have nothing to hide, but I don’t think it is the right of the US government to know where I am, or any other person who is here legally, within 50 feet. WOW, talk about expanding the role of government!
WATCH OUT Huckabee is hiding the fact he is pro amnesty. He says he wants the illegals to register than leave within 120 days. What he does not say is they come back in the next day as legals. See his video that has him saying this at http://www.alipac.us.
Huckabee also said we should amend the U.S. Constitution to reflect the Bible.
Wow. A Christian state! He actually said it out loud.
That will go over well in the general election.
I am not a staunch evangelical Christian, and I agree with Huckabee. My reasoning is for the safety of my family and America. Mike has values, leadership, and priorities that I believe are representative of what we need as a President. Instead of listening to the media, check out his website and make your own decision:

McCain has proven he can not be trusted to stop illegal immigration
because he does not see the big picture of the invasion aided by
criminal employers privatizing their profits while dumping the
social costs on the Nation at Large.
Huckabee wants to give illegals a touchback amnesty and instate
tuition for illegal aliens.
Mitt Romney’s qualifications on paper alone make him
10 times better than all the Democrats,McCain,Gulianni and
Huckabee put together!
Pastor Huckabee said eloquently that Jesus is too smart to run for office. He also acknowleged that anything is fair in politics. As a consequence pastor (disciple) Huckabee should follow Jesus rather then asking Jesus to follow him to support his political ambition. Do not mix religion with politics , unless you are a hypocryte. In order not to make your religion a laughing stock, pastor Huckabee should run as a pastor in chief.
Please do not embarrass your religion.
Why is this not a bigger story? THis is huge? A candidate is pretty much saying, “I have no idea on what is going on in the world. Let’s get a knee jerk reaction when I say something about immigration. This will solve NO problems, but add many.”
THE MAN IS SO FAR OUT OF HIS DEPTH
