Huckabee: I can’t compromise on scholarships for illegals because “my soul will not let me”
posted at 12:48 pm on November 30, 2007 by Allahpundit
Never mind the facts, never mind logic, and certainly never mind voter sentiment; Huck, after all, answers to a constituency of one. The quote comes from this WaPo account of yesterday’s presser with Chuck Norris, looking every inch the enforcer by Huck’s side, but it’s not included in the video below. Watch it anyway. It’s loaded with bogus analogies and outright misrepresentations.
Start with the fact that he treats America’s willingness to allow emergency room care to illegals as a license to expand taxpayer benefits to them across the board. He draws no distinction between life-threatening and non-life-threatening circumstances; if you’re willing to pay to restart a man’s heart, you should also be willing to pay for his kid’s college tuition. He also can’t seem to fathom why citizens should or might be angry at the millions of people who knowingly break U.S. law to get here. We should instead thank God that we have a nation worth breaking into, he counsels us, but I doubt he’d feel the same about his house if he came home to find people squatting in his living room. He goes on to take a swipe at Mitt for describing scholarships for illegal immigrant children as a “special break.” Left unexplained is how it’s not a special break for foreign citizens who reside in Arkansas for three years to have a shot at state-funded scholarships when U.S. citizens who’ve resided right across the border in Alabama for 18 years shouldn’t. And speaking of those three years, Huckabee continues to give the impression when he talks about this that there was some long-term residency requirement that illegals had to meet to be eligible for the awards. That’s patently false; FactCheck.org kicked his ass about it yesterday. No wonder Numbers USA calls him an “absolute disaster” on immigration as governor.
And in spite of it all, he’s up up up — and not just in Iowa anymore, either. McCain has to be looking at this wondering if his problem with immigration is that he isn’t soft enough. The Romney campaign is sufficiently worried to already be spinning the prospect of a second-place finish in the caucus. And while the online pushback has begun, one has to wonder — is it too late?
For some, perhaps.

This just means that Huck is going to get 500 x’s more (favorable) coverage in the MSM, with them declaring how all the conservatives love Huckabee and how conservatives think that Huckabee is their only chance …
I don’t know about others, but I would NEVER vote for Huckabee in the general. NEVER.
progressoverpeace on November 30, 2007 at 12:52 PM
Don’t worry Huck – voters are going to take that option clean off the table for you so you won’t have to compromise. The choice will be someone else’s to make while you are sitting at home in Hope.

Did Huckabee have gastric bypass surgery?
aero on November 30, 2007 at 12:56 PM
Sorry, that was OT. I was just wondering.

You’ve got to give him credit for one thing – he’s outstanding at defending craptacular policy positions in religious language.
Slublog on November 30, 2007 at 12:58 PM
So with Giuliani leading nationally and Huck up in Iowa, can we put to rest the idea that it’s beneficial to be the toughest candidate on immigration?
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 12:58 PM
Every illegal immigrant in this country should be given a scholarship immediately ……
…. to the University of Juarez, paid for by the Mexican government.
Can we commence making travel arrangements please?

Oh- except Fred dissin’ New Hampshire on debate night when he announced- (that may have been a fatal blow in NH) Ah- who cares- nobody listens to what they say up there anyway- except the mediaaahhh.
Ex-tex on November 30, 2007 at 1:04 PM
No, because its not. Did you watch Luntz’s panel? Every time a candidate was tough on immigration, the approval for them spiked. With Huck surging, Mitt’s gonna have to crack Huck over the head with his big wallet and show the voters that Huckabee is basically a Democrat with a bible in one hand and a rifle in the other.
Bad Candy on November 30, 2007 at 1:04 PM
Big S,
I’ve never been polled in my life. Polls showing Giuliani leading mean nothing to me. This will be Huck’s downfall. Watch and see.
Plus, “Americans” never said it’s ok to give illegals emergency care. An unrepresentative government did. Never forget, these illegals are still citizens of their home countries. As citizens of these countries, these foreign governments have responsibility over them. They should fit the bill, not us.
bucktowndusty on November 30, 2007 at 1:05 PM
Bill Bennett has created a really handy mnemonic device for the candidates in the 2008 election.
WIT: Winning the war, Immigration, and Taxes.
My YouTube question: Why isn’t any one of them smart enough to understand that?
saint kansas on November 30, 2007 at 1:06 PM
At the end Huck says, “lets punish the right people for having broken the law.”
Only he’s not talking about punishing illegals for being illegal. He’s talking about punishing legal citizens. Afterall we are un-Christian for being f’ing pissed off about having to wait behind 15 non-English speakers who may or may not be illegal in the emergency rooms. We are un-Christian for not wanting our children’s classrooms half full of children who can’t speak English (who may or may not be illegal aliens).
Romney is right about this you jerk. And you Mr. Super Christian are wrong.
Nice knowing ya Jimmy Carter… er I mean Huckabee.
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:06 PM
Jimmuh Huck, I think that’s what he needs to be called from now on.
Bad Candy on November 30, 2007 at 1:08 PM
Dude, have you even seen the polling results on this issue??? Being pro-Amnesty is even a loser for Democrats. If even Dem voters understand it you should too.
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:09 PM
Where are the separation of church and state nut cakes on this fiasco?
Shuckabee wants to use his Christian beliefs to justify taxpayers paying for illegal immigrant education!
Oh, wait, that only applies when they want it to.
leanright on November 30, 2007 at 1:09 PM
And I’ll add, Fred(if he get his campaign rolling) can exploit it from there, then start hammering Romney for his miraculous conversions and his continued squishiness on the 2nd. Oh, and Rudy, he needs to convince people Rudy isn’t inevitable.
Bad Candy on November 30, 2007 at 1:11 PM
Jackie Broyles for Prez, Fred! for Veep! Dunlap for Sec. of “quit taking yourself so seriously, ya whiny pacifists”.
JazzBass on November 30, 2007 at 1:12 PM
No.
Huck and Guiliani are where they are partly because people don’t know their past records on illegal immigration. The more their records get exposed, the more they are going to tumble.
Contrast that with John McVain, for whom everybody knows he’s a total amnesty shill. How’s he doing in the polls these days?
thirteen28 on November 30, 2007 at 1:13 PM
Mitt won’t touch the religion aspect. He needs to focus purely on the fact that Huckabee is an Amnesty shill and hammer that point home over and over again. He needs to be simple and clear. He needs to leave no room for wiggling. He needs to use his own words against him and kill him with his stance on this one issue. If he does that Huckabee’s polling numbers will be down their with Ron Paul’s.

Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:09 PM
“Amnesty” is one of those words that everybody has a different definition of. The HotAir.com definition seems to mean “letting them live,” while others take a more, say, merciful approach. I think a reasonable commitment to do something about illegal immigration is enough to make a candidate acceptable in most voters’ eyes.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 1:15 PM
I keep wondering why no one challenges the Huckster when he say’s “punish the children“.
If you’re 18 years or older when entering college you are an adult, not a child. And if you are undocumented, you’re an adult foreign national in the U.S. illegally. Why would the taxpayers want to send you to college?
jaime on November 30, 2007 at 1:16 PM
That you, Michael Chertoff?
thirteen28 on November 30, 2007 at 1:18 PM
Once again , we would appear to be at the mercy of the MSM and ‘Pollsters” who have a very clear agenda against the GOP. Promoting a losing candidate is in their best interest in their zeal to get Billy and the Beast back in the WH.
Trust them on NOTHING!

thirteen28 on November 30, 2007 at 1:13 PM
People have been saying that about Giuliani for 6 months now, and he’s barely budged in the national polls, even with other candidates trying their darndest to go after him. Also, a couple of days after all of the right wing blogs cheer Romney for his “major pwnage!!” of Huckabee, he still seems to be getting favorable attention for his performance. We’ll see over the next few days how that plays out, but I’d bet he hasn’t peaked yet.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 1:18 PM
I was almost convinced, to say “Okay, we can help the children.”, but, I believe it would be better, if they all would return to their countries of origin, with the knowledge of ‘what can be’, and bring about the needed socio-economic changes there. Easy to type, tough to do.
captivated_dem on November 30, 2007 at 1:19 PM
Let me put it simply:
The only people who have a right to reside and work in the US are US citizens and those we invite to be here, for the time we invited them. No one else has any right to even be here.
Illegals are trying to steal that right, to be in the US, from others – namely, those WE would invite here, instead.
To allow illegals to even stay here is to not only grant amnesty, but to aid and abet them in their crime. It would be like “punishing” someone who stole a car by letting him drive the car for 5 more years, and then worrying about getting the car back then.
Allowing illegals to stay is aiding and abetting. Giving them services and goodies on top of it is beyond description.
These people passed “amnesty” so long ago that people, like you, don’t even know what the word means anymore.
progressoverpeace on November 30, 2007 at 1:20 PM

progressoverpeace on November 30, 2007 at 1:21 PM
I think he forgot where Jesus says to follow your government. And in this case, the government is supposed to protect our borders.
Now if he wants to move ahead, and ask congress to open the borders, and allow all in…then fine. Meanwhile he is stuck with a Christian commitment to defend our borders. Take it up with Jesus, Huck.
right2bright on November 30, 2007 at 1:21 PM
And who is being polled in the national polls? Are they representative of the conservative base? Or even representative of the nation at large, given the media’s tendency to do push polling?
And even if accurate, how does that square with polls that showed an overwhelming majority of people against amnesty for illegals?
thirteen28 on November 30, 2007 at 1:22 PM
Yes, it was a joke. However, there’s a grain of truth there.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 1:22 PM

OK, phew. I was about to go all Hanz Blix on your ass and right you a nasty letter.
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:24 PM
Just one more minor point though. There is absolutely zero truth to that statement what-so-ever.
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:23 PM
My point is that while people may be strongly against granting “amnesty” to illegal immigrants, when they are confronted with specifics as to how that might work (forced deportations, separation of kids from their parents, denial of health services and police protection, etc.) they end up with cold feet, and a lot closer to Huckabee and Giuliani (who have dealt with the specifics) than Romney or Thompson (who only talk about the issue in hypotheticals.) Everybody likes law and order, but nobody likes a hard-ass cop.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Huck’s position on this is a show stopper for me. We must dry up all the magnets that draw illegals here, and free education at the US taxpayers expense is one of them that has to go.
Tough love is mandatory.
saiga on November 30, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Just like my soul will not let me vote for you then … Ciao Huck!
darwin on November 30, 2007 at 1:28 PM
Perhaps if Huckabee’s poll numbers begin to drop his soul will reconsider.
Mike Honcho on November 30, 2007 at 1:28 PM
In fact, I see paying college tuition for illegals and the children of illegals as being fundamentally unfair (and therefore “punishing”) the children of legal citizens. My children are going to have to fight tooth and nail to stay in the top 10% of a school district that’s affluent, mostly white, and whose parents are about 90% college-educated (and therefore expect all their kids to go to college as well). My kids are going to have a hard time getting into and paying for college just because of the intense competition from other kids like them. No one is going to pay their way. And Huckabee wants to give some of the highly competitive spots in the colleges they want to attend to illegals? It’s hard enough competing against the international students who are here legally from India, China, and other countries to study in our universities! Legal U.S. citizens should get first dibs on entrance into U.S. public universities. Second priority should go to highly-qualified, legal international transfers. I’m sure that would leave no room at all in our universities for illegals.
If taxpayer dollars are to be used to put anyone through college, it should be the highest-achieving children of taxpaying citizens.
aero on November 30, 2007 at 1:29 PM
Be strong. If you expect results, expect some pain.
saiga on November 30, 2007 at 1:29 PM
I have a feeling they’d poke their heads out once Huckabee actually won the nomination.
That’s one thing that makes me so nervous about the “who’s the real Christian” tone of the primary. ‘Cause once the primary’s over, the Dems and the MSM will come down HARD. And the “moderate” and “open-minded” ‘tards in the View audience will lap it up.
Are there enough out there in the “moral majority” to rise up and outvote the “American theocracy” paranoid? Man, I do not want to take that bet.
saint kansas on November 30, 2007 at 1:29 PM
People don’t like pain.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 1:31 PM
No, considering that they’ve both now adopted a tough enforcement stance. And you don’t really hear them talking up amnesty much, do you?
Hollowpoint on November 30, 2007 at 1:36 PM
Mmmm… I’ll bet if Fred? could find a decent screenwriter and director, Fred! Hard-Ass Cop would make huge bank at the voting booth.
Please, someone, hire aero as your campaign manager. Address me, the hardworking legal citizen, and explain how you’re going to give illegals drivers’ licenses, guarantee them scholarships and universal health care (by garnishing my wages — thanks, Silky), and not raise my taxes so high I could leap to my death from the top.
saint kansas on November 30, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Who cares if it is fair or not to citizens that illegals might receive state scholarships? Why hasn’t anyone asked if it makes sense to invest in college educations for individuals that cannot legally work in this country when they graduate?

jaime on November 30, 2007 at 1:43 PM
Hollowpoint on November 30, 2007 at 1:36 PM
Both have adopted anti-amnesty stances, as have the other Republican candidates. However, some of these are along the lines of “we’ll require them to learn English, get an ID, and pay taxes” (McCain, Giuliani, Huck), and others are more like “we’ll be really mean to them/ignore them and hope they leave on their own” (Romney, Thompson), while still others (Tancredo) would pack them up in cattle cars and send them on a one-way trip back to their countries of origin (slight hyperbole, for those whose detectors are broken). All of these qualify, objectively as anti-amnesty positions.

Big S, if you were correct John McCain would be the front runner right now. Listen to what Republican voters say about him. They are almost unanimous in the belief that he would be a great president except for one thing. Hmmm. What was that one thing again??
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 1:56 PM
Huckabee is the Media’s candidate in the Republican race. I think there is little doubt about that.
I know why, but the ZOG won’t let me tell you without getting cut from the payroll.
gabriel sutherland on November 30, 2007 at 2:00 PM
They have to learn English, get an ID and pay a token amount of “taxes” in order to be rewarded for violating immigration law… and that’s not amnesty? Yes, yes it is.
Many of us would at least entertain the notion of some sort of “path to citizenship” after and only after the government has demonstrated that they can control the borders and enforce immigration law (read: find and deport illegals). That’s not going to happen anytime soon; the very fact that they’re so eager to puch for amnesty BEFORE they’ve clearly and convincingly gotten illegal immigration under control is the problem.
It shouldn’t even be up for consideration at this point; enforce the law, protect the border, then- years later- maybe we can talk about a “path to citizenship.
Hollowpoint on November 30, 2007 at 2:00 PM
Mitt had it right, it is not Huckabee’s money he wants to spend to educate those who are not here legally. Question. Is there always a loud bang when you shoot yourself in the foot? Only as a last resort will I vote for Huckabee. And that would be against Hillary.
Zelsdorf Ragshaft on November 30, 2007 at 2:03 PM

Speakup on November 30, 2007 at 2:07 PM
Exactly, I thought the same thing when I watched that video in this post. Huckabee mentioned (lied) that he was for workplace enforcement, I believe he used the term “cracking down” on employers of illegals. So what he is saying that he wants to educate the kids and then once their no longer kids make it impossible for them to work. Great! Now if we can just get rid of the whole educating them on taxpayer dime part we’ll be in business!
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 2:07 PM
I actually like McCain a lot but let me guess…
Gang of 14?
MSM favorite/Maverick status?
Opposed Bush tax cuts?
McCain-Feingold?
Anti-waterboarding?
“Agents of Intolerance”?
McCain-Kennedy Immigration reform?
There’s others, but I assume it’s the last one you’re talking about. It’s not just the immigration, the hard right has hated McCain ever since he challenged Bush in 2000.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 2:07 PM
Nope. Even worse.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 2:09 PM
“Hated” seems a strong word. I think you’ll find that most respect and like McCain, but simply do not trust him. It’s the dark side of his maverick tendencies – when you’ve made a career out of taking contrary positions or doing unexpected things, don’t be surprised when people are wary of entrusting you with power.

Jaibones on November 30, 2007 at 2:16 PM
If you study the polls you find that there is only one thing. Come on. I know I can get it out of you. You know why… Because if what you wrote above was true, why would Rudy be the front runner? Rudy is just as liberal (if not more liberal) then McCain on all of the issues you listed above. The difference between the two is that voters view McCain as the person who stood side by side with Teddy Kennedy to push “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” on all of us.
That is the difference. And that is why McCain is getting spanked. Remember the voters knew all of what you mentioned about McCain for a long long time now. The one new issue is his stance on illegal immigration. Now do you think its just a coincidence that immediately following his public displays of affection for Amnesty his approval ratings hit the deck everywhere? Open your eyes Big S, you keep walking into walls.
Zetterson on November 30, 2007 at 2:16 PM
I can name that tune in two words: McCain-Feingold.
That’s what it says on John’s and my divorce papers.
saint kansas on November 30, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Actually, I think most of the problem with McCain-Kennedy was in the sale, not the substance. It seems to have gained legendary status on right wing blogs as the worst thing ever, even though it wasn’t amnesty and a lot of people found no real fault in many of its provisions when taken one at a time. It could’ve been a lot worse, which you’ll realize if and when a Democrat is elected in 2008. The issues with the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill were that a.) it was rushed and done behind closed doors and b.) there were not really any benchmarks or trigger provisions to guide the logical implementation of its programs. Even though there were funds allocated for border security, nobody trusted that they’d be used for that purpose before the government started letting people get on the “path to citizenship.” The apparent breach of trust was worse than the policy itself, which is why Huckabee and Giuliani, who were able to distance themselves from the process, haven’t suffered for it even though their positions are not really distinguishable from McCain’s in the grand scheme of things.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 2:29 PM

There were a number of problems with that bill. This post sums up the worst of them quite well.
Add into that the breach of trust caused by the way it was handled, and you get a sense of why McCain is distrusted.

Slublog on November 30, 2007 at 2:33 PM
Most of the loopholes mentioned by Sessions, I’d contend, would either fall under my characterization of the bill as lacking benchmarks and logical trigger mechanisms, or bureaucratic stupidities concerning the kinds of paperwork that need to be filed and when. To prove my point, the post focuses on the “sneaky lawyer tricks” in opposition to the bill, rather than just saying “oppose McCain-Kennedy because we don’t want illegal immigrants to ever get to stay here.”
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 2:41 PM
There were a few making the latter argument, but the vast majority of us who opposed the immigration bill did so because we did not want to see what seemed like poorly-constructed policy become law.
Slublog on November 30, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Slublog on November 30, 2007 at 2:52 PM
That was my impression at the time, too. Why do you think politicians like Romney have gone all the way, then, to proposing programs where there is no possibility of any kind of “path to citizenship” for those illegals who are already here, even assuming that it would be well-constructed without loopholes? I understand that it’s because he’s made the calculation that such positions are popular, but they’re surely not sweeping him to an overwhelming victory over the more “moderate” (on this issue, anyway) Huck and Giuliani.
Big S on November 30, 2007 at 3:11 PM
That was what I said, not Huck. When I said it, I only meant to show how silly a “zero-tolerance” approach to this is. We are morally and legally required to give some benefits to illegal immigrants. The question is not whether to give benefits, then, but rather which to give.
One point, though: If a child’s parents are illegal immigrants, then they’d be likely to work in the underground economy and it would be difficult to judge their income for such a needs-based scholarship, wouldn’t it? Just a thought….
calbear on November 30, 2007 at 3:25 PM
Why can’t they work for it just like everyone else? If you really believe that this is a moral issue, why does anyone have to pay for college?
You know that this will be the next step after universal healthcare. The public shools will be expanded to the bachelor’s degree.
I mean does this guy understand that what he is doing is an incentive for them to keep coming here and to keep breaking the law?

Too bad Chuck can’t keep the Huckster away from the donuts.
It looks like Mike is packing back on those pounds that he lost, and that’s a shame.

What also pisses me off is Hannity carrying his water, talking about ‘wanting to get past the nuance…’. Sean wants so much to be all the candidates’ friend he’s selling his amnesty soul. Huck SPECIFICALLY wants to enact a program that will ENTICE illegals with big families to come here and get educational benefits CITIZENS can’t even get. Sorry, I won’t vote for that or him.

The problem is, among the front-runners (assuming they’re Rudy, Mitt, Huckabee, Fred and McCain), almost all of them either supported it (Rudy, McCain, Fred) or wanted election laws even more stringent than in McCain-Feingold (Mitt). I don’t know what Huckster’s stance was on it.
On amnesty, 4 of the 5 (Rudy, Mitt, McCain, Huckabee) either formerly or currently support it.
So many men on the debate stage, so few good choices.

Round them up, beat the hell out of them, and thier kids, those descusting wet backs. How dare them try to feed thier families. How dare a CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!! show some compassion.
The problem is not Huck or Bush, or Mitt, or Rudy. The problem is the failure of this goverment over a 25 year time frame. And all of you are nothing but pissed off impatiant A-holes. Your not going to get all you want get over it.
I am so sick of the chest beating of people in thier pajamas typing on computers like they have the answer. College grades that have an opinion and computer shills. How old are you Allah anyway, 24, 26 years old?

Watching that vid -I think I actually understand why Huckabee doesn’t feel illegal immigration is a huge problem. It is because he can solve it immediately; once elected; by sending Chuck Norris to the border!

How about we detect, detain, and deport.
The Huckster is another 8 years of the Bush border plan. No thanks.

Actually, I would say how dare Huckabee misappropriate the name of Christ to support his policy proposals, thus insinuating that anyone who disagrees with him is not just in opposition to policy, but to Christ.
As for the rest of your post, insults are fun and all, but ultimately self-defeating.
