Re: Huck's immigration incoherence   [Mark Steyn]

Rich, I'm with David Sanders re Huckabee's scholarships-for-illegals routine. Laura Ingraham made Huck her "duck of the day" over that answer. It gets to one of my big problems with the guy: his complete philosophical incoherence. Where does Huckabee draw the line on his compassion? When he tries to draw it rhetorically, as with his answer that state scholarships for illegals are a grand idea but federal scholarships would be gilding the lily, he sounds absurd. And in practice, in Arkansas, there were no brakes on it at all: He just got dragged along by the illegal-normalization agenda like any Dem would.
