Former Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee Signs "No Amnesty"
Pledge

    TIGERVILLE, S.C. Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While visiting North
Greenville University today, former Arkansas Governor and Presidential
candidate, Mike Huckabee became the first presidential candidate to sign a "no
amnesty" pledge. He was joined at the event by Roy Beck, President of
Americans for Better Immigration.
    "I think it's important to be very clear," said Huckabee. "There should be
no doubt about my Secure America Plan:  our plan is not an amnesty or a
sanctuary city plan but a proper plan for the rule of law.  We will secure our
borders and build the fence within 18 months."
    Following is the pledge signed:
    "I pledge to oppose amnesty or any other special path to citizenship for
the millions of foreign nationals unlawfully present in the United States.  As
President, I will fully implement enforcement measures that, over time, will
lead to the attrition of our illegal immigrant population.  I also pledge to
make security of our borders a top priority of my administration."
