Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee signed a "No Amnesty" pledge touted by anti-immigrant groups. The former Arkansas governor added his signature to an oversized document where he promised that if elected president he would: “fully implement measures that over time will lead to the attrition of our illegal immigrant population and…also pledge to make security of our borders top priority in my administration.”Huckabee has increased the rhetoric on immigration while campaigning in South Carolina. During an appearance on Tuesday, he advocated ending all immigration from countries that harbor or sponsor terrorists.
A new poll in South Carolina released yesterday showed that Huckabee and Senator John McCain are in a statistical dead heat.
