Unbelievable
Sitting in front of the TV attempting to warm myself with a bowl of soup surrounded by kittycats, naturally, I was watching the news.
And in a post-debate question from a FoxNews reporter about illegal immigration, Mike Huckabee answered with what sure sounded like the failed immigration reform bill. I wish I had a direct quote. Here’s one from an interview with Chris Wallace, close enough.
But that pathway to get back here legally doesn’t take years. It would take days, maybe weeks, and then people could come back in the workforce.
Let me tell you why that’s important. Two reasons. Number one, the American people say, “Do something. Do it now. We don’t want to have this country ignoring the illegal problem.” I get it.
Secondly, I want people who are in this country to hold their heads up high. You know, right now there are a lot of people who really are here because they’re trying to feed their families. I don’t begrudge them that.
That’s the gist of it. He does support the fence just he wants to fast-track the illegal to legal status of all those that are here. And all those waiting years to come here legally, wonder how they’d feel about that.
Does the Hispanic vote mean so much that they will ignore the will of the majority? Will be interesting to find out.
