WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas is drawing opposition now that his poll numbers are rising in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
The head of a group that played a major role in pushing federal standards for driver's licenses picks Huckabee as the GOP candidate who frightens him the most, The Washington Times reported Friday.
"Huckabee is the guy who scares the heck out of me," says Peter Gadiel, president of 9-11 Families for a Secure America.
Roy Beck, whose group NumbersUSA organization played a major role in helping to defeat this year's Senate immigration bill, calls Huckabee was "an absolute disaster as governor of Arkansas."
"Every time there was any enforcement in his state, he took the side of the illegal aliens," Beck told the Times.
Defending his record as governor of Arkansas, Huckabee says if voters are looking for the toughest guy on immigration, he's not their man.
