Flippery flop Huckabuck :Send “children back to Mexico, but then says not really.”




Crooks and Liars:

OK, so Huck is flopping around on immigration because the hard core wingnut base of the GOP doesn’t like his stance on giving kids that were born in the country some protections because they are US citizens. And he said that if all illegal immigrants were deported. the American economy would collapse.

Huckabee: In all due respect, we’re a better country than to punish children for what their parents did. We’re a better country than that.

RUSSERT: “Don’t punish those kids.” A week later, you said, “No, no, no, send the parents home,” and what happens to the kids?
HUCKABEE: They go with their parents. I mean, I can’t imagine a parent not taking their children…
RUSSERT: But they’re American citizens. Why do they have to leave the country?
HUCKABEE: Because they’re–first, before they’re American citizens, they’re the children of their parents.
RUSSERT: But aren’t we a “better country,” to quote someone, than that?
HUCKABEE: No, I did not send them home. They will go home within 120-day window, and then they have the process of starting to return.
RUSSERT: But that’s 15 million people. You’re saying to do that would collapse the American economy, and now that’s exactly what you’re proposing.
HUCKABEE: No, I don’t think it would collapse the American economy if people went back and did their process of becoming legal. And all of them aren’t going to go back on the same day. There’s going to be a window of time. How long it’s going to take for them to come back, I don’t know

If the immigrants give Rev. Huck a gift or money they will be able to stay in the US. Yes Rev. Huck always accepts gifts and tax free money as a way of settling matters. Now pay off get out is Rev. Huck's policy. Now killing animals will be legal if your a Republican others will go to jail.
Sick people will be put in a camp. Minority Americans will be picking the crops. In a very short time our new Leaders will take over as the Saudis will own the United States. Canada is looking real good now.
