I've been pretty hard on Mike Huckabee on illegal immigration (with good reason!), but the plan that he came out with a few weeks ago is actually really strong. I'll be working on my big immigration post this weekend and expound on it more then, but for now here is John Hawkins' take after speaking with Charmaine Yoest, who works for the Huckabee campaign.
Yoest has a lot of street cred in the conservative movement, so I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on this issue. There are still lots of other reasons to dislike Huckabee from a conservative perspective, and he has a terrible record on illegal immigration, but his plan rivals Fred's. For that he deserves credit.
