Mr. Huckabee’s announcement yesterday that he was proposing a crackdown on Mexicans, Jews and other immigrants is bad news for the free world. The N.Y. Sun reports that Mr. Huckabee is planning to isolate America from the rest of the world—much like President Woodrow did after World War II.
Instead of encouraging Americans to interfere in other countries elections like the Bush Administration did in Nicaragua’s 2006 presidential election, Huckabee wants to fine Americans to vote in these elections $10,000. Liberal attitudes like this will not only allow candidates hostile to our interests to be elected—it will allow Communism to once again rear its ugly head. Ronald Reagan would turn in his grave if he could see how his party has changed.
Huckabee’s policy of non-intervention will also have a negative impact on U.S. interests in Mexico. All-American company, Wal-Mart, is the largest private employer in Mexico, according to Indiana University. If Mr. Huckabee prevents duel-citizens from voting, Wal-Mart’s interests will be harmed when Fidel’s friends take control of our nearest neighbor’s economy. Imagine what would happen if companies like Hugo Chavez’s, Citgo, decided to distribute free heating oil to the Mexican needy like it does in America?
Huckabee’s plan to prevent Americans serving in other countries armies is equally ridiculous. We have a long tradition of providing mercenaries to our friends in Nicaragua, Grenada and Russia—to say nothing about the thousands of American Jews who move to Israel so they can volunteer in that country’s army. If American’s are forbidden from serving in Israel, Arab terrorists will think it’s open season on the USA. I’ll go out on a limb, and say if more Americans were serving in overseas armies, there would be fewer attacks on US interests around the world.
The proposal to prevent Americans from traveling on foreign passports will not only put American overseas interests in jeopardy, it will put Americans in jeopardy. If the NSA and CIA operatives are going to be effective, they need to be able to go under cover. This means traveling on foreign passports. If our spies can’t do this—their cover—and ability to gather intelligence will be compromised.
I call for Mr. Huckabee to do a John Kerry and flip-flop on this issue. Americans should be allowed to vote in ALL foreign elections, serve in ALL foreign military forces and travel on ALL foreign passports. Our ability to function as a country hinges on these three things.
Back in the USA, we’ve discovered that Mr. Huckabee is a very different political animal to George W. Bush. Unlike Mr. Bush, who opened our Cuban borders to hundreds of refugees from Afghanistan, Huckabee wants to send all 20 million illegal immigrants home within four months of being elected.
This will destroy our economy. We need these people to prop up our country. Without cheap labor, who is going to build the fence between Canada and the USA? Who is going to fund Social Security if employers are not permitted to accept fake Social Security numbers? And, who will look after the homeless children when we send their parents home?
Before Mr. Huckabee ran for president—and his brain turned to mush—he knew his plan was unworkable. That’s why he offered subsidized in-state college tuition to illegal aliens who had lived in Arkansas for three years when he was governor, according to The Volokh Conspiracy.
Even if Mr. Huckabee manages to send all illegal residents home, it will not solve our education problem—overcrowding in our schools. To solve this problem, we must send the children of illegal immigrants back to their parents' homeland and force the parents to work in our factories and on our farms for minimum wage. People should not be rewarded for committing illegal acts. The best way to punish these criminals is to change the constitution, strip their children of their U.S. citizenship, and force the adults to pay for their crimes by working for subsistence wages.
