• 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.

• Obama wants to have a crack down on employers hiring
illegal immigrants by arranging stronger enforcement at the
workplace and at the borderline. His idea is to stop the flow of
more immigrants while being kind to the illegal immigrants
already living in the U.S.
• Obama feels that by increasing the legal fees on
immigrants is discriminating against people with good character
who don?t have the money to pay for immigration. Instead it
would be good to improve the Mexican relationship with the
government and use their economy to produce jobs on the other
side of the border.
• He feels that it is impractical to deport the 12 million
illegal immigrants to their countries, but instead it would be
better to get them from living in the shadows to the open through
the Dream Act by which children of these immigrants, who for no
fault of their own, have been born and brought up as Americans,
could gain higher education. He says there should be no two
classes of citizens in the country.
• If every student is allowed to study a second language,
English being the main language. English speaking children
should be encouraged to study foreign languages because the world
is interdependent and bilingual education would help Americans to
communication across boundaries.
• Obama plans to improve the immigration system by fixing
the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy; bring immigrants out
of the shadows by allowing those who are in good standing to pay
a fine, learn English and apply for citizenship; work with
Mexico to promote economic development which will decrease
illegal immigration further.
