Hunter/Jindal 2008
Make that Hunter/Jindal 2012
Say it ain’t so, Sarah. :-(
I want to see the original source, not the blog entry.
The New GOP of moderates have brought her into the fold. :-(
Et tu Sarah?
What choice does she have really? She not the top of the ticket.
Yep, and then there are the ones east of the Sierras.
Just Damn.
Don’t everyone get their panties in a wad — As VP, she has to support the policies of the Prez candidate — that’s how it works.
If she is running for Prez, her own policy on illegal immigration may be completely different. We’ll have to wait and see.
She and Bob Barr have the same position.
Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s a good question.
As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?
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.
Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They’ve got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.
And the last question would be about politics. You only have two more weeks left...
Yes
At this point there is no turning back, and certainly not to some 3rd party idiocy.
One fight at a time.
First we need to dispose of “That One”.
McCain is a problem with some of his stances on some issues.
“That One” is a disaster across the board.
WHO CARES? Elect McCain/Palin, then we will deal with this just as we did last time. Calls, faxes emails. DEFEAT HUSSEIN FIRST.
this is typical paleocon bull
Go Sarah.
At this point in the election, you say whatever it takes to get votes or stop loosing them. If McCain/Palin felt it was time to try and stop the bleeding in this segment of voters, let them say whatever it takes. Maybe if Duncan had better insight on how to walk the tight-rope, he could be our candidate today. I hope he's watching, paying attention and maybe learning something from all of this. McCain knows from what happened in the Senate over a year ago how we all feel about immigration. He even publicly admitted it after the bill failed. Those on the other side of aisle crawled back under their rocks, including Obama. This is not the time to start picking at this scab!
No amnesty until the borders are sealed up. Get the borders sealed then we’ll work on those already here. First thing would be to seek out those that are murderers and guilty of violent crimes, even if they have families and deport them pronto. One thing at a time. jmo
This is the VP talking - not a wise issue for her to diverge from McCain on.
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
Are you nutz??????Hunter/Jindal 2008????????? Get real! What planet do you live on?????
Wasting a vote on a write in??? Letting an Illegal be President of the United States.. Obama.. Where is that Birth Certificate??????
Also, like it or not, she has to remain in lock step with him on these types of issues for the time being to avoid giving the MSM any more ammunition with which to pummel them. If Hunter were McCain's VP choice, he'd have to do the same. Any smart politician would. So, I'll give her a pass on this, considering the extremely hostile media she's having to confront.
I'm almost 100% positive that she does not agree with McCain on illegal amnesty despite what she says here, and there is evidence that she's getting somewhat frustrated with her new boss.
NBC's Chuck Todd says there's a 'tenseness' between John McCain and Sarah Palin
Just a thought: If we did round up all the illegals and send them back to Mexico, what would be the impact on the mortgages they all hold in the American banking system? I’m assuming that not ALL of them have defaulted yet.
It would be nice to say that the banks should just EAT the bad loans they should have resisted giving, but we all know that our “super hero” government would “feel” the need to step in and “rescue”.
What would be the possibility of receiving a check from the Mexican government for every mortgage holder we send back?
We are in quite the pickle aren’t we?
She answered NOwhen asked if she favored amnesty.
I just read her biography that just came out. I’m sure when she hears the facts, she will change her mind. I really recommend reading it. It tells how simple it is to make a difference..........Meanwhile we have to win this election......
I don’t care. After all the trashing the woman has endured from the media, including blantant misrepresentation of what she said or what others have said about her, I will have to hear her say what her position is on immigration after the election.
I will not throw Sarah under the bus.
I truly hope they only pay minimum wage to Democrat operatives to plant and foment with this sort of tripe.
It is WAY too easy to dupe WAY too many people around here.
OK, we all disagree with McCain on this vital issue, but this is NOT the time to form a circular firing squad. Beat Obama FIRST, then we can return to the anti-amnesty fight.
But she says in the article that she DOESN’T support amnesty.
Naturally, I disagree with McCain and Palin on this issue. But they’re still miles better than Obama.
“To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America.”

The primary reason that I’m against illegal immigration is the same reason that I dislike democrats - they’re freeloaders, gaining hospital care, schooling, and other benefits at MY expense. I do not like carrying American deadwood. I feel no different about foreign deadwood.
No votes (3) for McCain/Palin from this household. We’ll be voting for Baldwin.
Nothing like having hispanics vote overwhelmingly for the dummies, and then rewarding them with amnesty.
I doubt this will turn out the way the democrats want if Sarah goes to Washington.
One fight at a time.
If they truly secure the borders, THEN I would be willing to look at what is needed to handle the remaining problem. My guess is that IF they secure the borders, and enforce current laws on employment, there won’t be much of a problem left to handle.
That’s very discouraging...
Shows your agenda.
What's Palin supposed to do? Refute the policies of the man who selected her to be his running mate? Wouldn't CNN love that.
We stopped them once...we can stop them again.
Besides, the way our economy is going, many illegals are self deporting.

Remember - Palin is the VICE President candidate. For now she has to run on McCain’s platform. She’s not going to denounce his “Don’t drill in ANWR” either, as long as she is number 2.
Don’t read more into this than the obvious.
In four years of Obama/Reid/Pelosi it won’t matter. Americans will be so angry over the amnesty and citizenship of 30-40 million illegals, and tens of millions of their following families, that even the Democrats will be running on a stop-illegal-immigration campaign.
Of course, there will be 30-40 million new Democrat voters, but that’s also McCain’s wish.
i don’t think right now is a good time for us to be fighting this battle period.
the division
and it already looks bad enuff with the vato vote already
we need to fight one battle at a time and the big one has breached the perimeter
I’d like to see the interview, or read the transcript. Can’t access site right now. Hoping “oneoldvet” has a link to the actual interview.
Regardless - as important as this issue is - we’re dealing in priorities, and the most important issue is defeating Obama. We’ll deal with disagreements with McCain after we’ve secured the WH.
I believe the correct thing for any sovereign nation to do is to deport every illegal immigrant. And that’s me being charitable.
National sovereignty and ENFORCED immigration control go hand in hand.
{Frankly, I would like to deport all the anchor babies too.}
Whether politicians believe that we should assimilate the illegals or believe we should deport them, they probably find it expedient to SAY we should assimilate them — the latino vote and all.
That’s the last straw, I’m staying home.
Susan Jones can just not vote twice.
Hussein and his army of leftist crooks and thugs is a greater long term threat to this country than anything the Islamists can come up with. Keeping him out of the Presidency is priority 1!
Of course she said they support a two-pronged approach. They’re in an election, remember? An election where they are behind, no less. What did you want her to say? McCain wants a two-pronged approach, but I want every stinking illegal alien kicked out of here post-haste! This would have been trumpeted around the world as a gaffe PLUS they would have lost all of the hispanic vote.
You guys need to get a grip and remember that we’re in a fight against communism here.
