A week ago, most Mexicans had never heard of Mike Huckabee. After the former Baptist ministers victory in Iowa, many here now view Huckabee as a danger. Huckabee is generally seen as the most conservative of the Republican candidates and as such, the toughest on immigration (Mitt Romney might have something to say about that characterization).
Heres how this mornings Reforma newspaper analyzed Huckabees victory:
The triumph of Mike Huckabee in the Iowa caucus is not good news for Mexico. It happens that the ex-governor of Arkansas is winning supporters in great part through his plan to seal the border with Mexico with a wall and more Border Patrol. He also has the support of such wonderful people as James Gilchrist, founder of the anti-immigrant Minuteman movement and the actor Chuck Norris, who played the role of a violent Texas Ranger.
In the Milenio newspaper, columnist Diego Petersen Farah writes, Huckabees position on immigration is absolutely radical Without a doubt, for Mexico and Latin America in general, Barack Obama would be a much more empathetic president, although not free of problems.
