Palin vs Huckabee on the Issues Huckabee and Palin on the Issues
Declined 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate

Former Governor of Alaska
Sarah Palin

Palin's profile and positions on the issues





• According to Palin there are 12 million illegal immigrants in the US and deporting them is not possible economically as well as it is not a humane way of dealing with the issue. They should be made to follow rules and made to understand that legal immigrants should have the first preference of opportunities provided by this great country. If they follow the rules they can be treated fairly and equally in the country.

• Not having expressed her views on illegal immigration often, Sarah supports citizenship for illegal immigrants but feels there is no amnesty for the illegal immigrants. Priority should be given to the legal immigrants before granting opportunities to the illegal ones.

• She has reached out to the illegal immigrants requesting their needs. She feels that they require more vocational training, the end of gang violence, assistance to seniors and mostly outreach and communication within their communities. Palin insists on a diversity task force.

• Illegal immigrants in Alaska are at loggerheads over obtaining driver's licenses before Palin was elected Governor. The state Senate then approved a Bill banning licenses to illegals tightening the requirements for obtaining a license only if they prove their legal identity. This has affected the illegal immigrants in Alaska severely.

• Sarah Palin has stated that she is sick to death about the immigration nonsense and has not expressed her views often on illegal immigration. She feels that the new administration needs of Alaska should be energetically started early to enable a co-operative relationship with Canada.

Former Governor of Arkansas
Mike Huckabee






• Opposes driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

• Huckabee opines that illegal immigrants should go home and start over again. According to him it is not being cruel but being kind to those who have spent their lives in hiding and running on sighting a police car. He feels that the country owes this priority to the legal ones who have been waiting in line for a long time. This would make sense and protect the borders and the dignity of each person in the country.

• Huckabee proposed building a border fence within the first 18 months of taking office. By doing this there would be no open door for people to just walk in and out of at will. According to him Americans are not angry that people are coming into the country but instead they thank God that people are trying to break into their country rather than break out of it, but they should come in legally which would be better for the country and themselves.

• Huckabee wants the American citizens to hold their heads up high. But with the illegal immigrants it is not possible since they are throughout America in hiding while at the same time trying to feed their families. He wants all citizens in the US to live decently and hence the illegal immigrants should start all over again and get a legal citizenship in order to live decently with a sense of pride and not fear.

• Huckabee acknowledges America's need for doctors and engineers in abundance but says they should enter the country legally.
