Gov. Romney v. Gov. Huckabee on Immigration

The N.Y. Times reports that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign plans to begin running a negative television advertisement today in Iowa highlighting Mike Huckabee’s record on immigration, escalating the warfare between the two Republican candidates as they scramble for support in the nation’s first nominating state. The advertisement starts by saying both men are “good family men” who oppose abortion. But then it says that Mr. Huckabee, as governor of Arkansas, supported in-state tuition benefits for “illegal aliens” and taxpayer-financed scholarships for “illegal aliens.”
