The passed term limits here a while back. The gov is in his last term. He is trying to show everyone why term limits is a bad idea... That's the only guess I got....

You have to be kidding me. This is worse than the crazy money they give out in Arkansas. The problem is that both points from the article down below make sense. The reason they both make sense is because for years this country has been ambivalent when it comes to illegal immigration. When you don't get off the fence, its not surprising that you end up with two reasonable points of view. And Huckabee's POV IS reasonable. If you got a kid that has gone through the system and excelled and that kid is not going anywhere why not make sure he's as educated as he can get. Its better for him, his family and for society as a whole......after all, the most likely alternative is a gang. ""We're not saying that they're getting any special consideration or extra consideration, but that they would simply be treated as any other graduate of an Arkansas high school," Huckabee said. "If they met the criteria to qualify for financial aid, fine. I think it's an issue of basic fairness and consistency. It's highly inconsistent for us to treat that person like an Arkansas student for 13 years and suddenly treat them differently once they have actually succeeded."" "What has citizens concerned, said Rep. Mike Kenney, R-Siloam Springs, and other lawmakers, is that the word "illegal" is associated with the immigrants' status. "If somebody is illegally here, how can you legally take tax dollars and give them something that people who have been in this country a long time that are paying taxes aren't even entitled to, so to speak," Kenney said."
