Thanks for putting this up Jeff.
I believe she is dead serious about securing the border and establishing an environment where the vast majority of those remaining inside our borders self deport.
If she follows through on seriously going after and deporting those who do not follow the rules, then very few of the others will register...they will silently, slowly, just leave, particularly with a commitment to make sure Americans are offered any jobs available first.
She allowed BOR to put the word “registration” in her mouth. Then she doesn’t define it. “Registration” needs to staked, beheaded and burned as fast as possible. “Registration” is just the latest word for amnesty.

I disagree. She made it very clear in this interview there would be no amnesty and no reward. I believe it is a stake for a temporary guest worker program where Americans get first crack at any jobs therein. With a strict registration and the illegals having to get inline behind Americans, I believe the vast majority will self-deport...which is the gaol I believe.
PALIN: You deport them.
I'm down with that.
But she isn't one.
You are very welcome, please spread the word
I don’t like the whole, “You don’t start talking about amnesty before the border is secured, because then still more will come over for it.”
Left unsaid but implied is that you then issue a de facto amnesty once a fence is up, and the 35 million—oops, sorry, let’s pretend it’s only 12 million—illegal aliens already here can get on “that path to citizenship”. Still far, far, McCainish for me.
I believe she is...she is just not announced yet, an dprobably not for a good while yet.
There was no need for a massive government program to get these people here and there is no need for a massive government program to get them to leave. They came on their own and they will leave on their own when what they came here for is no longer made available to them; jobs.
Hit the employers such that illegal labor is no longer an economic incentive (heck, in some regions of the USA it is competitively an economic imperative) and employers will no longer hire illegal labor.
Enforce the laws we have. Track down SS #’s. Fine employers for hiring illegals.
When the jobs go, they will go.
This is not complex and the idea of the government rounding up millions of people is ludicrous and unnecessary!
Bump for later read. What concerns me, however, is her continued support for McCain. I’ve come to filter all her immigration talk through that fact.
I am adamantly opposed to removing birthright citizenship.
For what I consider good reasons - the chicken farms have already proven that they will find ways to hire illegals at slave wages, to increase profits. If the offspring of the illegals are also illegal, we have just reintroduced slavery.
No. I object.
On the other hand, install M60 machine guns on the border towers, fully loaded. Hook them up to the internet, charge $10 for ten minutes, not an illegal would ever make it across again.
Bipolar, aren’t I?
Running for my fireproof underwear.
Sorry Jeff, while many of ‘her’ ideas are normal law and order stuff, she’s still an amnesty queen. But that’s OK, there will be a conservative running who will outflank her for 2012
I believe her intent is to establish an environment with required registration and a temporary worker program where Americans get first crack at every job, where the vast majority of these people will self deport.
I also believe she will go after the rest, particularly the criminal drug element who we are going to have to go after with a strong arm in any event.
Amnesty ping!
When she uses the term ‘not reward’ that could mean anything. What are they registering for? Does she mean voter registration? Is she registering them to vote? That is a very bad idea. That would mean more ballots in Spanish
:)
Glad you're back, by the way.
Obviously, she is working her way through this issue, which is not a simple one at all, because not only the La Raza bunch but many business interests are affected her and will push back hard if she tries to achieve what, say Eisenhower, did back in the ‘50s. Beyond this, the Immigration laws have to be modified to limit the family reunion provisions so that who villages don’t get to come to the States just because a relative gets a green card. Mom and the kinds, but Grandma is the reponsibility of Mexico. Also get rid of the anchor baby thing. At least one parent has to be an American citizen before the kids gets his own claim to citizenship and even he has to go through a formal process at age 18 to claim that citizenship. Also limit the rights of the children of illegals to attend school if only by forcing the parents to identify themselves and register with the government. If they are being kept by relatives, then force the relatives to produce guardianship papers as well as their own identification papers. To make matters equitable, the same requirement might be made on all those who want to enroll children in the schools.
