Little Rock (AP) - Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is firing back at fellow contender Mitt Romney over questions about illegal immigration.

Huckabee suggests the former Massachusetts governor wants to keep immigrants working on his lawn.

Romney criticized Huckabee over his plans to offer tuition breaks for children of illegal immigrants while serving as governor in Arkansas. Huckabee, appearing on Fox News Channel, said, "I guess Mitt Romney would rather keep people out of college so they can keep working on his lawn." A story by The Boston Globe last year said four employees of a lawn company servicing Romney's suburban home were illegal immigrants. A spokesman for Romney said at the time that the former governor was not "knowledgeable" about the allegation.

A new poll shows Huckabee in second place among Republican candidates in Iowa, and making up ground on Romney.
