Signed by 84 leaders of Immigration Enforcement Groups!

In reaction to Jim Gilchrist's (Co-Founder of Minutemen) lone endorsement of pro-amnesty Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee:

We, the undersigned, state that our organizations stand against racism and Amnesty for illegal aliens. Instead, we stand for the enforcement of our existing immigration laws, the securing of America's borders, and attrition enforcement.

We have dedicated our efforts to fighting illegal immigration and we are compelled to warn the American public about the immigration stance and record of Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee.

We denounce Jim Gilchrist's solo endorsement of a pro-amnesty and Open Borders candidate for President. Mr. Gilchrist does NOT speak for us!

Mike Huckabee is pro-amnesty and favors a "path to citizenship" for illegal aliens currently in the US, which would require a lifting of the current penalties.

Mike Huckabee is against ICE raids and decried them in his home state, when illegal aliens were arrested at companies that financially support his campaigns.

Mike Huckabee supports benefits for illegal aliens such as taxpayer subsidized in-state tuition.

Governor Huckabee also favors a "touchback" provision, which we feel is a trick to confuse voters. He would have illegal aliens leave for a day, pick up new papers, and then reenter the US LEGALLY, which is not the back of the immigration line! He has stated that illegal aliens could leave and "You do have a pathway to get back here legally that would take days, maybe weeks, not years."

Mike Huckabee supported Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty that failed in the US Senate and was rejected by a large majority of Americans. He stated that those who opposed the legislation are "driven by racism or nativism."

Mike Huckabee has distorted the goals of "attrition enforcement" and the positions of Mark Krikorian by adding visa expansions, expedited visas, and "touchback", which would counteract enforcement measures.

In truth, Mike Huckabee's stances on the illegal immigration issue are out of line with the vast majority of Americans.

This is about a week old.

AND RON PAUL should be reaching out to all of these people.. ALL OF THEM.. they have a huge swing vote.

IF somebody in Ron Paul's camp is NOT contacting these poeple, that would be a HUGE FOOBAR!

*********

Does anybody know if anyone from these groups are supporting Ron.

I know immigrantwatchdog is... who else. I heard that someone from the minutemen?

It won't happen. The official campaign has failed before and will fail again, just like they failed to get Tancredo's endorsement.

I think the Official campaign needs a representative on these forums. Like he would come here, listen to grassroots ideas, and then pass it on to the official campaign.

Because there's lots of amazing ideas here and things that we think of that NEED to be done, but the campaign just catches word of it too late and loses the chance.

A computer game I played before did this. There was a fan-site with forums, but an official representative from the game's developers went onto the forums and communicated with the comminty. He told the community news on anything the official developers were doing with the game, and listened to input from the fans of the game, and also passed on suggestions right to the higher-ups that were in charge of the game development. Usually good suggestions by the fans were implemented into the game right-away.

I do'nt see why something similar can't be done for Ron Paul's campaign. I know they can't claim involvement with our grassroots efforts but that doesn't mean they can't have a guy here listening to what we have to say and taking ideas from us.

Aren't we in Ron Paul's camp?

I'm going to be drafting an e-mail to these folks when I get home tonight.
 
Most of those (patriots) already know what is going on.
Most gun owners and patriots who follow politics,
already are working towards a Ron Paul presidency.
I do not think it would be a bad idea to contact them.
All of the forums I visit are openly RP fans for the most part

How do you know they didn't try?


As for this, I find it hard to believe that Gilchrist endorsed Huckabee. It boggles the mind that one of the FOUNDERS of the Minutemen would support a candidate who favors a path to citizenship. Seems to go against the core principles of the group.
