Why Duncan Hunter is Supporting Huckabee

As you know, Congressman Duncan Hunter has been among the strong advocates for the border fence and stopping illegal immigration. That is why I want to share with you my interview with Hunter regarding his recent endorsement of Mike Huckabee.

Before I continue, please understand that Grassfire.org does not endorse or oppose candidates. In addition, I personally have not endorsed any candidate for president.

Many citizens concerned about illegal immigration have rightfully had serious reservations about Huckabee's past actions and the veracity of his current positions on these issues. I wanted to hear from Congressman Hunter how he reconciled Huckabee's questionable record as governor on immigration with Huck's very strong campaign platform.

Immigration Issues Heating Up
I also asked Rep. Hunter about his new bill that seeks to overturn the Hutchison amendment which was snuck into the omnibus spending bill just before Christmas and gutted the Secure Fence Act. I told Rep. Hunter that Grassfire will soon be launching a major grassroots campaign to overturn the Hutchison fence-gutting amendment. Be watching for that in the coming week.

Mexico's Calderon in the U.S. today
All this is happening while Mexican president Calderon is visiting the U.S.. Why would he come in the middle of a hotly contested primary election? One analyst says the trip is "to make sure he puts Mexico on the next president's desk and even try to shape the bilateral agenda." Last week, Calderon said this of the Super Tuesday results: "It seems to me that the most radical and anti-immigrant candidates have been left behind, and have been put in their place by their own electorate." He added that "sooner or later" Americans would realize that our economic future is tied to our link with Mexico

Of course, the mainstream media agrees and is trying to say immigration is not such a big deal to Americans anymore -- that last summer's uprising against the amnesty bill was just a bunch of hot air.

I think it's time once again to make all these guys feel the heat!

Thanks for the stand you are taking.
