Why do they all have to be so fucking nuts?

During an event Friday in Pella, Iowa, Huckabee said the crisis sparked by Bhutto's death should lead to a crackdown on illegal immigrants from Pakistan.

"In light of what happened in Pakistan yesterday, it's interesting
that there are more Pakistanis who have illegally crossed the border
than of any other nationality except for those immediately south of our
border," Huckabee said Friday.

Americans might "look halfway around the world and say, 'How does that
affect me?' ... We need to understand that violence and terror is
significant when it happens in Pakistan, [and] it's more significant if
it can happen in our own cities. And it happens if people can slip
across our border and we have no control over them."

"The
immigration issue is not so much about people coming to pick lettuce or
make beds, it's about people who could come with a shoulder-fired
missile and could do serious damage and harm to us," Huckabee said,
"and that's what we need to be worried about."
