Mike Huckabee has become known as a evangelical Christian. He was elected President of the Arkansas State Baptist Convention, with support from the liberal wing of Southern Baptist. Mike Huckabee belongs to a inter racial multicultural Baptist Church. Huckhabee has used the Bible and his open minded Baptist beliefs to accept illegal immigrants and to further promote additional immigration in our country. When he was governor of Arkansas, Huckabee ran what amounted to a sanctuary state.
Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly's view of Huckabee, is very critical. Schlafly said Huckabee has "destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas, and left the Republican Party a shambles. Yet some of the same evangelicals who sold us on George W. Bush as a 'compassionate conservative' are now trying to sell us on Mike Huckabee."
From Ann Coulter's new column.
On illegal immigration, Huckabee is out in left field. He has compared illegal aliens to slaves brought here in chains from Africa, saying, ?I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before.?
Toward that end, when an Arkansas legislator introduced a bill that would prevent illegal aliens from voting and receiving state benefits, Huckabee denounced the bill, saying it would rile up ?those who are racist and bigots.?
He also made the insane point that companies like Toyota would not invest in Arkansas if the state didn?t allow non-citizens to vote because it would ?send the message that, essentially, ?If you don?t look like us, talk like us and speak like us, we don?t want you.??

2. Mike Huckabee arranged for a Mexican Consulate to locate in Little Rock, with the State of Arkansas paying for many of their expenses, to assist the illegal Mexican immigrants.
Mike Huckabee arranged for a Mexican Consulate to locate in Little Rock, with the State of Arkansas paying for many of their expenses, and arranged to lease office space to them for $1 a year.
"This whole scheme to get a Mexican consulate to locate in Little Rock appears to be nothing more than a veiled invitation for illegal immigrants to come to Arkansas to work for the Arkansas corporations who want cheap labor." "The package is enhanced by social welfare benefits provided by the state of Arkansas and financing assistance to support the Mexican consulate's presence in the state," attorney Chip Sexton said.
"Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority," Huckabee said jokingly.

3. Governor Mike Huckbaee opposes legislation to restrict benefits to illegal immigrants. He calls those who oppose as racist.
Gov. Mike Huckabee heaped criticism upon anti-immigration legislation in the Arkansas Legislature, describing it as "inflammatory . . . race-baiting and demagoguery." He also challenged the Christian values of its main sponsor.
Huckabee said the bill, seeking to forbid public assistance and voting rights to undocumented immigrants, "inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there's a real problem. But there's not."
Huckabee said, "This is the kind of country that opens its doors. This bill expresses an un-American attitude."

2. Mike Huckabee arranged for a Mexican Consulate to locate in Little Rock, with the State of Arkansas paying for many of their expenses, to assist the illegal Mexican immigrants.
An author and investigative journalist says Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's pledge for strong border enforcement doesn't match his record on the issue when he was governor of Arkansas.
Huckabee continues to be dogged by a lingering controversy over the role he played in establishing a Mexican consulate office in Little Rock that was financed by Arkansas taxpayers and local businesses. The permanent facility for the consulate, located near the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, opened in April amid fanfare by supporters and protests of some who are concerned about it causing a surge of illegal immigrants into the Natural State.
According to The Morning News (Northwest Arkansa), the idea of establishing a Mexican consulate in Arkansas was first discussed by former Governor Mike Huckabee after his trip to Mexico City in 2003. Dr. Jerome Corsi recently published an article in WorldNetDaily which quotes several critics of Huckabee, who contend that the then-governor worked with some of the state?s most prominent and politically powerful businesses [Tyson Foods] to draw illegal aliens to the state to accept low-paying jobs.
Corsi claims Huckabee and the state ?courted? then-Mexican President Vicente Fox to establish the consulate. ?Mike Huckabee took an airplane ride in 2003, was going on down to see Vicente Fox with one of his top economic advisors,? he says, ?and that started discussions where basically Arkansas came and courted Vicente Fox, saying put a Mexican consulate here in Little Rock, please.?
The investigative journalist believes the state may have overstepped its authority in urging the Mexicans to come to Little Rock, and contends the state essentially ?shelled out? office space for the consulate because the Mexican government preferred to ?let the gringos pay.? Corsi questions if a consortium of businesses had the legal right to ?support the consular presence? during the first three years, including what appears to be the costs of building a permanent consular facility in Little Rock.
?I?m not sure that Arkansas law permits the state government to subsidize ? another foreign government [in that fashion],? he shares. ?I haven?t yet identified who the corporations are who paid this lease, and I still don?t know if the Mexican consulate is paying its own way or not, or if the private corporations in Arkansas are still funding the bill.? http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/?p=5345
Arkansas attorney Chip Sexton says: "This whole scheme to get a Mexican consulate to locate in Little Rock appears to be nothing more than a veiled invitation for illegal immigrants to come to Arkansas to work for the Arkansas corporations who want cheap labor." "The package is enhanced by social welfare benefits provided by the state of Arkansas and financing assistance to support the Mexican consulate's presence in the state," Sexton said.
"Mike Huckabee is pro-amnesty and favors a path to citizenship for illegal aliens currently in the U.S. that would require a lifting of current penalties," said William Gheen, whose 25,000-member Americans for Legal Immigration sent mass mailings yesterday to more than 300 pro-enforcement groups.
"Huckabee has released an immigration plan that contains the deceptive 'touch back' provision that the pushers of amnesty tried on us in Washington this year," he said. "He wants to trick the nation by having illegal aliens leave for a day to pick up new papers at an office set up across the border and then walk right back." Information taken from World Net Daily.
When he was governor of Arkansas, Huckabee ran what amounted to a sanctuary state. His thinking on liberal immigration laws, civil rights and racial integration would fit in the main stream of the Democratic Party. >From all of the praise heaped upon Huckabee by the liberal news media, that should have been a Red flag of suspicion for the average conservative Christian.
----------------------------------------
In 2005, Huckabee called un-Christian, un-American and irresponsible a bill introduced by state Sen. Jim Holt that would have denied state benefits to illegal immigrants and would have required valid proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Huckabee told WND the senator's legislation was unnecessary, because "Holt couldn't point to illegal aliens in Arkansas who were getting benefits. It's already against state law, and we could already prosecute any illegal aliens getting state benefits that Holt could point to."
In June 2005, addressing the 76th annual LULAC convention in Little Rock as keynote speaker, Huckabee told the 10,000 political, community and business leaders in attendance, "Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority." The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is a political advocacy group for Latinos in the United States.
Huckabee told LULAC that having their 2005 annual convention in Little Rock was important, because Arkansas had one of the fastest growing populations in the nation, and "Arkansas needs to make the transition from a traditional Southern state to one that recognizes and cherishes diversity 'in culture, in language and in population.'"
McCutchen acknowledged Huckabee declares on his website that he now calls for closing the borders.
"But that's 180 degrees from what he did as governor of Arkansas," McCutchen said. "Huckabee will say anything that he thinks is acceptable. He is a dangerous man."
McCutchen agrees with Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly's view of Huckabee, cited last week by John Fund of the Wall Street Journal. Schlafly said Huckabee has "destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas, and left the Republican Party a shambles. Yet some of the same evangelicals who sold us on George W. Bush as a 'compassionate conservative' are now trying to sell us on Mike Huckabee."
"My overall feeling is that Huckabee is a traitor to Arkansas citizens," McCutchen stressed. "He's a multi-culturalist who has done more to damage this state than any other governor of Arkansas. During Huckabee's tenure, we've had 150,000 bankruptcies, more than all previous governors put together. We've lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 manufacturing jobs. He has almost doubled the size of state government in his tenure and he is not a man of the people."
Huckabee says on his website, "We need to create a process to allow people to come here to do the jobs ? plucking chickens, tarring roofs, picking fruits ? that are going unfilled by our citizens." From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58430
Gov. Mike Huckabee heaped criticism upon immigration legislation in the Arkansas Legislature, describing it as "inflammatory . . . race-baiting and demagoguery." He also challenged the Christian values of its main sponsor.
Huckabee said the bill, seeking to forbid public assistance and voting rights to undocumented immigrants, "inflames those who are racist and bigots and makes them think there's a real problem. But there's not."
The bill is modeled after Proposition 200, approved by Arizona voters in November. The Arkansas measure was filed by Republican Sens. Jim Holt of Springdale and Denny Altes of Fort Smith.
Huckabee, also a Republican and a Baptist minister, said Arkansans should be welcoming hard-working immigrants of all races. He singled out Holt, who often talks of his strong Christian beliefs, saying, "I drink a different kind of Jesus juice."
In response, Holt said he was hurt by the governor's questioning his faith. Holt, R-Springdale, replied later that Christian charity does not include turning a blind eye to lawbreaking. http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/000718.html
