Huckabee Signs “No Amnesty” Pledge in SC
by Serafin Gomez

Tigersville, SC-

GOP Hopeful Mike Huckabee, who has sharpened his anti-illegal immigration talk recently, as he competes for the first in the south primary of South Carolina, put an exclamation point today next to his hardening stance on border security.

At an event sponsored, by two anti-illegal immigration umbrella groups, Huckabee signed a “No Amnesty” Pledge, that read in part that as president he would oppose” amnesty or any other special path to citzenship for the millions of the foreign nationals unlawfully present in the United States.”

Roy Beck, head of Americans for Better Immigration,one of the event organizers, said Huckabee was the only presidential candidate so far to sign the pledge.

When asked if his rival John McCain should also sign the pledge. Huckabee side-stepped the question with a customary joke.

”I’m not going to speak for him. I have trouble enough speaking for me. I mess up enough speaking for me,” Huckabee said to laughter in the room.” Now if I thought I could mess up speaking for him, I’d go ahead and speak for him.

Beck however responded a little more bluntly. ” I think everybody should take the same pledge or at least promise it in some other way,” Beck told reporters.” But I think he made it clear in the South Carolina debate last week that at least 10 million illegal aliens ought to stay here permanently.”Beck replied, a slight smirk crossed his face as he finished the last sentence of the press conference.

Cut demand, cut supply. Here's some legislation that cuts demand.

Arizona Worksite Enforcement Law (portion):

Quote:

1. A new state law prohibits employers from intentionally employing an unauthorized alien or knowingly employing an unauthorized alien.

2. For a first violation of this new state law during a three year period that is a knowing violation, the court will order the appropriate licensing agencies to suspend all licenses held by the employer unless the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days. The filed affidavit must state that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. A license that is suspended will remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney. A copy of the court order will be made available on the attorney general's website.

3. For a first violation of this new state law during a five year period that is an intentional violation, the court will order the appropriate licensing agencies to suspend all licenses held by the employer for a minimum of ten days. The employer must file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney. The filed affidavit must state that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. A license that is suspended will remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney. A copy of the court order will be made available on the attorney general's website.

4. For a second violation of this new state law, the court will order the appropriate licensing agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer.

We too often fail to recognize the complicity of many of our fellow Americans in this problem... if Americans didn't hire illegals, we'd have a hell of alot less of them.

I dont believe this, every one of the candidates except Ron Paul (and the ex. candidates Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo) is totally open borders and no immigration control ... they are just looking for more votes.
