Here is the text from Huckabees speech in 2005. No where does he say he wants to set up scholarships for illegal aliens only. The first sentence is all you need to know to see we have people on here spinning a lie.
I'm also going to ask that we open financial aid for any student graduating from a high school in Arkansas. There is something terribly unjust about a kid whose family came here looking for opportunity.
Maybe that kid has come at the age of 4. It has happened. It happened in a school in El Dorado.
That student of Hispanic descent spent his entire career as a student in Arkansas public schools from the age of 4. He graduated from high school, one of the top kids of his class. But when he applied for financial aid, he wasn't eligible for the various scholarships or grants because of his status, a status that he had no decision in and no control over. Do we want to change the future for those kids? Then let's give them the opportunity.
Let's not say that our doors are open but our opportunities are closed.
Let's open both our doors and our opportunities and create a whole new generation of kids who have the opportunity to be prosperous and to bring to their families the hope that they came here for.
Once again No where does it talk about scholarships only for illegal aliens, he has proposed that they be eligible for the same scholarships as everyone else. Stop the spin and lying.
