Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, eyeing another bid for president, is taking illegal immigration head on, decrying President Obama’s amnesty plan and warning that taxpayers will have to pay for a new generation of unskilled workers if borders aren’t secure.

“Some people are globalists, some people are corporatists. I’d like to think of myself as a nationalist. Our first responsibility is to build this nation, not every other nation on the earth but this one,” Huckabee said with an America-first theme.
