'Amnesty' Push Polls Against Huckabee Tonight
December 26, 2007 6:36 PM
The conservative group opposing illegal immigration (and more moderate attempts to solve the problem), Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, is coming to Iowa tonight to spread the word that Rudy Giuliani, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and -- perhaps most important -- Mike Huckabee is, in the group's view, soft on this issue .
The group says as part of its media effort its leaders will be sending automated phone calls -- push polls, really -- to tens of thousands of Iowans that intend to spread the word that Huckabee has views on this subject that may not square with the average Iowa GOP voter.
You can listen to the call HERE .
The call is in the form of a poll, but it doesn't really seem designed to gather information as much as it is to spread it.
With ALIPAC, Mitt Romney, and the Club for Growth, Mr. Huckabee has a rocky 8 days ahead of him.

Excuse me commonsense, but middle class Americans did not cause this, and they are the ones paying, Corporate America caused this and our Representatives who are suppose to represent the american people. But the Middle class are the ones paying for what our government has done..so please don't go there, The schools we built for our children with our tax money are so over crowded with illegals or children who don't speak english that are childrens education is suffering from it. Our hospitals for our citizens are closing their doors, and our insurance premiums have gone ski high, maybe not all illegals fault but a huge part of it, It has cost Americans billions to deport and redeport. Our jails are full and crime has run rampet in this country. well Americans are sick of it, we want our country back we want our laws enforced and we want lawlessness and the chaos to stop, and we will fight to bring it back. we will not let it turn into what Mexico and most central American countries are, 3rd world cess pools.It is time for these people to go home and work on fixing their own country and we the citizens of the United States will deal with our politicians and the problems in our country, One thing I do know Americans will fight for their country not get up and run away from their problems, and this is only the beginning as they are just waking up and realizing what has happened.
Huckabee is not the answer to our problems he is to wishy washy on the biggest problem facing our homeland and that is illegal immigration.

Pastor Huckabee has the foreign policy experience to clean up the mess in Pakistan and the Immigration problem with one swipe of his arm. For example, Pastor Huckabee punctuated a point about hiring John Bolton as his foreign policy advisor yesterday by discharging his shotgun over the reporters' heads. In the ensuing ruckus, he didn't have time to mention that he is also advised by Kofi Annan, Henry Kissinger, and Mikhail Gorbachev. The other thing that has not been mentioned is an explanation of Pastor Huckabee's comment about Pakistanis entering the US illegally. What Pastor Huckabee probably meant was that rather than coming in from Mexico, the Pakistanis could be smuggled in by cargo containers originating from the so-called geographically shared eastern border with Afghanistan. This would make sense because, as Pastor Huckabee mentioned, martial law is being enforced in Pakistan, so that everyone else must remain inside their homes which would allow terrorism suspects to slip into the containers unnoticed for journey to the US. Pastor Huckabee apologized for the Pakistani affair because he is a true Christian and that is what Christians do. And because he has a theology degree and he mentioned that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergymen, it carries extra weight with Christians, so he was able to raise $89,000 in the one day 'money bomb' on December 27.

Michael,
Thank you for adding your quiet but sincere voice to the din of anger towards the citizens of my former country. I am a first generation naturalized American citizen born of a Mexican father and American mother.
Talk about people not doing their homework!!
My family was invited to the US during the 'bracero' program by the United States to serve as workers in this country. After they had worked here for almost EIGHT YEARS under this program. They were suddenly declared illegals and deported to Mexico. Many had purchased land, married and had children. They had made this country their home.
When they returned to a place they had been invited to as guest workers they were hired by those who had employed them before. Do we now attack them as CRIMINALS???!!!
What many US citizens do not realize is that the US created the problem. They need to solve it in a humane way.
I appreciate Mike Huckabee for understanding the situation and wanting to do it right.
A US Citizen with family and strong ties to Mexico

Read the beginning of this article and you know all you need to know about the elite media such as ABC.
" The conservative group opposed to illegal immigration ( and more moderate attempts to solve the problem)......."
That is a sort of subtle way of saying that if you oppose amnesty and want the borders secured, you can not be a moderate. Guess again, there are a lot of us moderates (support abortion rights, are opposed to the Iraq war, etc) who believe the moderate, sane approach is to enforce the laws of our land and that violating the sovereignty of our land is not a joking matter and should not be tolerated. Some of us even remember the 1986 Amnesty bill.
Of course, one can not go to the elite parties of the culturally smug with their faux moral superiority complex and espouse the views of most CITIZENS. And if you don't think that is the case just look at the uproar over the issuing of drivers licenses in New York.

SOSADFORUS, I am definitely not believing for a minute that any of us are going to get straight answers from Huckabee. He lies when he is not being asked a question, such as when he stated he had a theology degree, when he does not. Proof he tends to lie without a second thought. Yes it is time for Americans to choose their own president for a change. The corporations and globalist have done that for far too long!!!!
Posted by: April | Dec 28, 2007 8:58:52 PM
April dear, please don't hold your breath waiting for straight answers out of Huckabee, I hate to think of the consequences to your health, it isn't worth it, we will just have to get the truth out and hope Americans have the good sense to not vote for anyone like Huckabee who favors illegal aliens over American citizens.
Don't let Main stream Media choose your president, This is the year we stand alone and pick our president our self with our the help of the news media, we recognize a liar when we see one.

Question for Huckabee:
Why are you so willing to use American citizen taxpayer dollars to provide special tuition provisions and scholarships to illegal aliens instead of America’s children?
Polls bear out the fact that 80% of American’s are against the DREAM Act, which Huckabee fully supports. Americans are not pleased that they have been forced by an activist Supreme Court decision to educate illegal aliens through primary and secondary schooling. We are totally against providing further taxpayer dollars to illegal aliens in college. The DREAM Act puts illegal aliens into the pool of college applicants. That means for every illegal alien who lands an admissions slot, an American kid is kept out of college. It also is designed to give citizenship to illegal aliens. Mr. Huckabee somehow feels this is 'compassionate' use of our tqax dollars and is the right way to go.
Sure it is, Mike! It's great for the illegal alien, the illegal alien's illegal parents and the illegal alien's support and advocacy groups. It is not great nor fine nor acceptable for the American citizen, the American college student and the American taxpayer.

Sure and we believe in the tooth fairy as well, CFisher, we have no idea what Huckabee really wants or will do, he flip flops and lies at the drop of a hat. I still am not over that he lied in front of millions of people that he has a theology degree when he does not. Yeah...sure... we can believe a liar.I don't think so.
Posted by: Mandy | Dec 28, 2007 5:48:43 PM
HANK, I completely agree with you and so does Huckabee. They must go home and get to the back of the line to become legal. Behind those who are already waiting. If they register with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services within a 120-day window AND leave the country, THEN they may apply for citizenship at the back of the line.
Posted by: CFischer | Dec 28, 2007 5:37:03 PM
Cfisher I hate to burst your bubble but we want illegals gone until they can come through the legal way with due process and correct paperwork. We DO NOT want them to hop across the border in a day and be back as citizens the next day. We donot want them to be rewarded for ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR!!! WE WANT THE LAWS ENFORCED!!! HUCKABEE has already proved a failure at that as govenor of Ar. We are not buying the Huckbee is a good guy line.
Posted by: HANK | Dec 28, 2007 5:16:59 PM
Great Questions Zeezil? Would'nt it be nice to get straight answers on all of them. However, Huckabee has proven he is not a straight talker and will downright lie if he thinks it will help him out or cover his trail. The jig is up Huckabee!!! We are on to you and we are not going to be deceived by your snake oil salesman pitch. Our country means too much to us. Thank you Alipac for continuing to shine the light of truth on Huckabee!!!!
Posted by: April | Dec 28, 2007 5:10:44 PM
SOSADFORUS, that is why Huckabee supports the Fair-tax. This would make all people, legal or illegal, pay taxes. You pay taxes on what you buy, not how much you work. It also eliminates corporations passing their tax bill on to the consumers. I urge everyone to read about it and research it. No matter who u support for president this is a good thing!
Posted by: CFischer | Dec 28, 2007 5:08:45 PM
BTW Mark you forgot to list one of the pro's that Huckabee is most known for.....PRO ILLEGAL!!!!! Try to get your facts straight before you start preaching to all of us informed Americans!!!
Posted by: Zoey11 | Dec 28, 2007 5:03:30 PM
Questions Huckabee needs to answer:
Why did you find it necessary to establish the 47th Mexican Consulate in the U.S. in Arkansas (Little Rock)?
Why did you find it necessary to travel to Mexico as Arkansas governor, utilizing taxpayer dollars to woo Mexico to put a consulate in Little Rock?
Why did you agree to a lease of $1 per year for the Mexican government to pay for office space when the going rental rate for the space is greater than $600 per month? Who is making up the difference? Arkansas taxpayers?
Why does the Mexican government have a three year no cost mortgage on the construction of their new consulate site in Little Rock? Why are they being granted this special favor and who is funding it? Special Interests? The Arkansas Business Community? The Arkansas Taxpayer? Furthermore, it appears that the Mexican Government is getting the construction of its consulate wholly funded by the Arkansas taxpayer. Are the only costs Mexico is incurring just operational and staffing costs?
What role is the consulate playing in supplying cheap (illegal) foreign labor to Arkansas chicken processing plants?
Since the Mexican Consulate is a service organization for Mexicans, and the majority of Mexicans in the U.S. are here illegally, then how are you not a supporter of illegal aliens and illegal immigration into the country?
The Mexican Consulate actively interferes in the U.S. legislative process and even counsels Mexicans on immigration enforcement initiatives by police and immigration officers. How do you reconcile your support for the consulate with that?
The Mexican Consulate also engages in providing identification papers to all Mexicans (legal and illegal) which enables them to operate here. Specifically, the Mexican Matricula card is cranked out constantly and given to ‘their people’. Although, I believe you said you are against the matricula card, how do you reconcile that fact that that is one of the primary purposes of the Mexican Consulate?

Thanks for all the good information SOSADFORUS!!!Huckabee is a BIG NO WAY for me!!! WE CANNOT AFFORD A MAN LIKE HUCKABEE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!

From the just released Jan. 2008 New American magazine:
QUOTE: The much-touted “Huckabee Surge” in November-December opinion polls has been attributed by the major media pundits to the former Arkansas governor’s performances in the televised GOP candidate debates and the recent discovery of him by Evangelical Christian voters. However, more skeptical observers might be inclined to note that Mike Huckabee’s sudden jump in the polls was assisted by a quantum jump in media publicity, and that Huckabee, the supposed “outsider,” has been given the stamp of approval by the ultimate political “insider” organization: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). UNQUOTE
Be advised that the CFR is a wholly globalist organization imbedded within the United States. They are totally pro-open borders, pro-cheap labor from illegals and support all aspects of globalism. They wouldn't be interested in, much less show favor to, a political candidate that didn't support their agenda.
Posted by: zeezil | Dec 28, 2007 4:45:46 PM
Well Huckabee is your step out step in program going to change these costs to the American taxpayer? NOT!Sorry we can not afford politicans like you!
Health care. State-funded uncompensated medical outlays for health care provided to Iowa’s illegal alien population amount to an estimated $48.3 million a year. This estimate does not include higher medical bills and insurance costs that Iowans who have medical insurance pay to cover the costs of those without insurance.
Incarceration. The uncompensated cost of incarcerating deportable illegal aliens in Iowa’s state and local prisons amounts to nearly $4.9 million a year. This estimate excludes compensation from the federal government, short-term detention costs, related law enforcement and judicial expenditures, as well as the monetary costs of the crimes that led to incarceration.

Consider this Iowa, before you vote for Huckabee!
Education. Based on an estimate of 8,645 school-age illegal aliens and 12,100 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens in Iowa and estimated per pupil costs of $8,450 per year for public K-12 schooling, Iowans spend about $175.3 million annually on education for the children of illegal immigrants. An additional estimated $13 million is being spent annually on programs for limited English students who are likely children of illegal aliens. More than four percent of the K-12 public school students in Iowa are children of illegal aliens, and this share has been increasing as the illegal resident population increases and the overall public school enrollment has decreased slightly

You do not have to dig deep at all to see Huckabee's pro-illegal alien agenda and lously record on immigration enforcement during his governorship. Huckabee is deceptive and disingenious when he comes out with a plan that, on the surface, seems like it would be acceptable to those against illegal immigration. Huckabee will say anything to gather votes, but will do what he has historically done: support further invasion into America and take care of those invaders.
Do we really need another compassionate (particularly for illegal aliens) conservative in the White House?
Posted by: zeezil | Dec 28, 2007 1:03:09 PM
If we get someone like Huckabee in office you can plan on taking your children out of public schools, as he believes it is our duty to educate illegals children.The classrooms are over crowded and they are learning more history about Mexico than they are American history, some schools are forcing students to learn spanish now, and we get to pay for this through higher property taxes! expect no more emergancy medical care as there will be no hospitals left for you or your children to go to in an emergancy, and we get to pay for this with higher health costs. Huckabee believes we the American taxpayer have the obligation to pay for these services for illegal aliens and their children. When is enough-enough!!NOW!
