A typical politician....throw out something and then explain it later.....


PELLA, Iowa—Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said Friday there are more Pakistanis in the U.S. illegally than any other nationality except those from Latin America.

He told his audience at a campaign event here that 660 Pakistanis have come into the country illegally because of insecure borders.

Pressed by reporters where he got that figure, Huckabee said: "Those are numbers that I got today from a briefing and I believe they are CIA and or immigration numbers." Later, in a conference call with reporters, he identified the figure coming from the Homeland Security Department.

"I am making the observation that we have more Pakistani illegals coming across our border than all other nationalities except those immediately south of the border," he said, repeating the assertion he made to his audience earlier. "And in light of what is happening in Pakistan it ought to give us pause as to why are so many illegals coming across these borders."

Homeland Security officials say there are more people in the U.S. illegally from the Caribbean, China and Canada than from Pakistan. Officials deported 435 Pakistanis in the 2007 fiscal year, which ran from Oct. 1, 2006 to Sept. 30, 2007, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement statistics

I don't see his point of singling out Pakistan illegals.

These are DHS figures. Huck is quoting a newpaper article.

He has NO foreign policy experience....immigration is one of his selling points...he want s tie tie that with the fear card and hopefully it will make him electable.

I hope you mean that he wants to tie that with the fear, if that is what you meant, then yes, I agree. If it has to do with an "S" shaped tie-tie, I'm not sure.
