Hard to see how that hurts her - or her position today.

There was a thread from a guy on FR saying the same thing. Makes me think it was coordinated by the agents of the GOPe to save their amnesty push.

There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.

When I say this, and I've said it many times on FR, I get flamed.....and I don't even go the humane route...I'm just talking practical reality.....hmmm....

Sarah went to Arizona, saw how terrible it is across the border, how these illegals just stroll into our country..she understands now more than ever that amnesty is not the way to go..you don’t reward rule breakers with a free ride..and she gets that

[E. Pluribus Unum]

All you have to do is stop giving them jobs and government checks and they’ll self-deport.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Isn’t it amazing the absolute hostility conservatives get in this country from both the left AND the right? I mean you never see far leftist fascist commies getting the kind of abuse someone like Palin or Bachmann or Herman Cain got and are getting. What they did to Cain made me completely desert the Republican party. All that crap they tried to throw on him and not ONE person from the Repubs defended the guy all because they wanted to push the RINO from Assachussets. F them. The Tea party is the only party that exists for me now and I truly hope Palin runs on that ticket. To hell with the RINO party.

Anything from 2008 has to be evaluated thru the prism of the Presidential campaign.

She wasn’t so much espousing her own beliefs as she was supporting her party’s nominee. Since 2008, her statements have been more inclined to condemn illegal aliens who break the law.

It’s hard to see how that outlook can be used to say she supports amnesty.

That is a weasel-word defense.

Of course they can't -- not until they secure the border.

But they can cut off the freebies, cut out the benefits, stop the hiring of illegals -- and that would result in a large self-deportation.

If anything is ever going to work, they gotta start somewhere. And so far, both parties seem to think that the place to start it legalizing the millions already here.

How is that a solution?

Oh, the newly legalized will save social security. The newly legalized will help secure the border. The newly legalized will be a new source of taxes. The newly legalized are fertile. The newly legalized are the only ones who can start new businesses.

And the politicians think the citizenry are stupid enough to buy those excuses.

And 5 minutes after this amnesty bill is passed, that secure the border amendment will go into the trashcan. They have no intention of enforcing it or securing the border -- not now, not tomorrow, no 5 years from now.

[svcw]

You mean the anti-Palin people on FR?

[fortheDeclaration]

“We secure our borders first.

This is the part that the Democrats and GOP elite reject.

[Bryan24]

Require EVERY business to very the employment eligibility of EVERY employee and prospective employee. Penalty for failure to do so, or employing an illegal: $50,000 per day per illegal.

The Mexican border will be overrun with illegals self-deporting back to Mexico.

Anything short of imprisonment and/or deportation is amnesty. Deport them all now. I'm sorry about the families that would be torn apart. I'm sorry about the children whose futures would be turned to dust. I'm sorry it would turn Mexico into a failed state in a matter of months. But if we don't save our country then we will all be torn apart, future-less and living in a failed state.
