I thought Huckabee had compassion for illegal immigrants. He thought it wasn’t Christian to deny them benefits, has his Christianity changed to the point that he won’t even let them stay in the country? This seems like pandering to me:

Immediately following the rally, Huckabee went next door where he signed an immigration pledge, promising not to endorse amnesty and to secure America’s borders.
When asked by one reporter after the signing whether or not Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., (who has yet to sign the pledge sponsored by “Numbers USA”) should sign it, Huckabee said, “I’m not going to speak for him. I have trouble enough speaking for me and I mess up enough even for me. If I thought I could mess up speaking for him I’d go ahead and speak for him.”
