How are we counting them?

ABC News' Kevin Chupka Reports: At "Meet Mike Huckabee" event Friday morning in Pella, Iowa, the former Arkansas governor and surprising leader in Iowa clarified comments he made Thursday night suggesting that, in the wake of Benazir Bhutto's assassination, the U.S. be on the look out for illegal immigrants from Pakistan attempting to cross our borders.

"In light of what happened in Pakistan yesterday, it's interesting that there were more Pakistanis who illegally crossed the border than of any other nationality except for those immediately south of our border, 660 last year form Pakistan who came into our country illegally because we don't have secure borders," Huckabee told the crowd of would-be voters at the Pizza Ranch in a town that has probably supplied one the windows in your home or office.

During a media availability after the event, one reporter suggested the comments might be seen as "ethnic bating."

Oh really? If we can count precisely how many "illegal immigrants" came into our country from some specific foreign country, why can't we handle the illegal immigration situation better? Because those numbers are made up, that's why.
