Debate and discussion
I watched the spanish debate on Univision along with some of the analysis in English. Overall, it looked like the guy who won the most was immigration reformer by Duncan Hunter getting the loudest applause from the audience. According to the political experts like Dick Morris and others, those who are the loudest against illegal immigration should have been booed off the stage. I'm also glad to see that most of the candidates did not pander as much to illegal immigration and that the world was able to see that hispanics do care about things other than immigration. I am not suprised that the cowards at Univision made no effort to talk about abortion or Christian Rights. They along with the Hispanic "civil rights groups" do everything in their power to make sure politicans believe they can only get the hispanic vote by jumping through the hoops of their agenda. Here's the agenda from last night along with some comments:

Huckabee: Immigrants' friend
(Titled "Liberal Star" in the paper)
Ernest Dumas http://www.arktimes.com/Articles/ArticleViewer
12/4/2007
Mike Huckabee's star may fall as precipitously as it rose in the presidential stakes, but it is time to ask if something mysterious but important is happening in the electorate or if his rise is only evidence of a field of fatally vulnerable candidates. In the six months between the beginning of the debates and the Iowa caucuses, the only Republican candidate who has not fallen in the estimation of the polls is the one who is inarguably the most liberal and the one who sounds most like a Democrat. Huckabee would dispute that description but it comports with his record in Arkansas and even with his public utterances when he is forced to defend that record and in thoughtful moments far away from the madding crowds of Iowa and South Carolina Republicans. A month ahead of the caucuses Huckabee is leading the field in Iowa, and he has risen sharply in national polls so that he competes with the incredibly shrinking big four, which has to be a reflection of his glib, witty and saccharine performance in all the debates. It has liberal pundits across the country gushing about what a generous, reasonable and straight-shooting person he is. Those are not adjectives that many in his own party in Arkansas would have applied to the governor even a year ago. The Republican leader of the state Senate once called on him to be kinder in his public remarks about fellow Republicans.
If Republicans are turning to the moderate in a field of sullen men bent on seeing who can be the most reactionary, it is an unusual phenomenon. Republicans suspected they were nominating a liberal in 1952 when they picked Dwight Eisenhower over Mr. Conservative, Robert A. Taft, in the most contentious convention of modern times, but they did so because they thought he could beat the Democrats and that the sainted Taft, who wanted to roll back Social Security and the whole New Deal, couldn't. But winnability isn't Huckabee's secret. The same polls showing him gaining say that Republicans think he would be less likely than others to win. On the other hand, maybe the conservatives who see him as the truest ideologue just do not know him. His standard stump talk, which you can catch often on C-SPAN, does carry a litany of conservative dogmatisms: lower taxes, smaller government, abortion, gay marriage, and even tough immigration controls. Huckabee's immigration stance is at once the most emblematic of his liberal impulses and politically the most paradoxical because immigration is the dominant GOP issue. The campaign of Sen. John McCain, the early front-runner, imploded over his steadfast support of the administration's humane immigration bill, but Huckabee makes McCain look like a nativist. Romney tried to nail Huckabee in the last debate for passing a law giving children of illegal immigrants state-paid college scholarships and in-state tuition rates. Huckabee defended it eloquently, pointing out first that it did not become law — the House of Representatives passed it easily but Republicans blocked it in the Senate — and that he wanted to live in a country that did not punish children for the sins of their parents. (He also said the youngsters would have to have applied for citizenship to get a scholarship, which was not true. The bill said youngsters would have to give the college a statement that they intended to seek legal status some day.)
That bill was not an isolated instance. The highlight of his last two years in office was his running war with Republican lawmakers and the “Shiite wing” of his party — his words — over what he called their bigotry and fearmongering over immigration. He bitterly fought (with Democratic help) a Republican bill restricting government services to U.S. citizens, calling it race baiting and demagoguery, and when the bill failed he condemned a plan to put the same proposal on the ballot and doubted the “Christian values” of the sponsor. “What this has done is inflamed a whole lot of people's emotions, making them think we've got to rush in and pass some laws to stop some terrible thing going on that isn't going on,” he said. But it was going on. At Huckabee's behest, the state became one of only seven states that used Medicaid money to cover prenatal care for immigrant women because Hispanic women had an unusually high prenatal birth-defect risk. Over the objections of conservative nativists he worked to get a Mexican consulate in Little Rock to help immigrants with labor problems and getting papers. He condemned federal agents for raiding an Arkadelphia plant and instantly deporting Mexican workers and splitting their families. When a key administration official sent an email with some derogatory doggerel about Hispanic immigrants Huckabee dumped him with the admonition “racial stereotyping by state leaders is simply not funny and must be consequenced.”
In a remarkable talk to the Political Animals Club he said God had given America “a second chance” to do the right thing by treating Hispanics better than it had treated blacks for much of its history. “One of our greatest challenges is making sure we don't commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African-Americans 150 years ago and beyond,” he said. “I feel the Lord, frankly, has given us a second chance to do better than we did before. I hope we will do that.” Immigration is supposed to be the wedge issue for Republicans next year. If that's so, let's hope that Mike Huckabee is their man.
This is from the Arkansas Times, an anti-American fish wrap in Little Rock . As you can see, Ernest Dumas is a secular bigot who thinks those in the Republican Party who oppose illegal immigration are the same who set off car bombs and murder families. Since he writes for a leftist paper, perhaps Ernest think the Shiites are Freedom Fighters. The only reason I posted this lying pile of crap’s column is to show immigration reform activist that the left is proud of Huckabee’s immigration record.
There are several mistakes/lies made by Ernest. Conservative activist blocked HB1525, the bill that would have given in-state tuition for illegals. We had to because Huck would have signed it! Huckabee did help block SB206, the bill that would have required proof of citizenship for Government Services, and he did attack the Christianity the sponsor of SB206 Jim Holt. The Mexican consulate deal wasn’t done over any objections because it was done behind the backs of the people of Arkansas . The consulate doesn’t help immigrants, it gives matricular cards to illegals. Federal agents did not split families in Arkadelphia, the families lied when asked if they had children. Of course the illegals realized that it’s better to abandon your children in the greatest nation on earth than to take your children back to a third world dictatorship that starves it’s people to death. That third world dictatorship now has a consulate in Little Rock

Lincoln supports college aid for children of illegal immigrants;
Huckabee no longer sure
By Jason Wiest
LITTLE ROCK -- Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., voiced support for providing some children of illegal immigrants with college aid Monday, a day after Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee said he was not sure he would support such a program at the federal level. When Huckabee was Arkansas governor, he supported legislation in 2005 that would have granted in-state tuition to the children of illegal immigrants. The measure, an early version of which also would have made undocumented immigrants eligible for state scholarships, passed the state House but fell short in the Senate.
Huckabee, who is surging in polls in advance of Iowa's first-in-the-nation Jan. 3 political caucuses and has come fire from GOP opponents because of his stance on immigration, on Sunday was noncommittal on federal legislation that would make the children of illegal immigrants eligible for federal student aid such as Pell grants and subsidized federal student loans. "I'm not sure I would support that. It was a different program in Arkansas," he said of the legislation, now stuck in the Senate, in an appearance on ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." A spokeswoman for Huckabee said Monday the former governor was not flip-flopping on the issue. "He's not wavering on it, he's just not certain at this point if he would support it at the federal level," press secretary Alice Stewart said. Lincoln said Monday she still thinks such a program is a good idea. "They've been in our school systems; we've made a huge investment," Lincoln said. "I think it's really important to make sure that we continue that investment (for students who do well) in a way that both encourages their legality and the hopes of them becoming a citizen because they are the ones who are going to contribute the most."
Lincoln, who supported the so-called DREAM ACT to help the children of illegal immigrants enter college, said the children did not come into the country on their own accord, a point Huckabee made during last week's GOP presidential debate and again during his television appearance Sunday. "You don't punish a child because a parent committed a crime, or committed a sin, you just don't do it," he said. "We had kids (in Arkansas) who had been in our schools, by law. And to simply shut them out of any additional educational advancement, to me, seemed not only in their worst interest, but ours, as well as the state's." But some Arkansas Republicans say such programs would put the interests of illegal immigrants ahead of Arkansas citizens. "What about the children of Arkansans who are citizens?," said Rep. Jon Woods, R-Springdale, who has helped sponsor legislative hearings on illegal immigration in the state. "We have thousands and thousands who are denied scholarships annually, and they're citizens."
What is the difference between the DREAM ACT and HB1525 which was the bill that would have given in-state tuition for illegals? Why do we need to reward the children of criminals? Do we give in-state tuition to the children of shoplifters? What about the rising tuition rates of students overall? This issue has been pretty much buried by the mainstream press. Sean Hannity recently questioned Huckabee about HB1525, but didn't follow up when Huckabee gave the children excuse. I was there when HB1525 was nearly passed by the Arkansas Congress. It was conservative activist like myself who stopped HB1525 from reaching Governor Huckabee's desk.. Here's the story about HB1525:
