First of all, what makes you think that all illegal immigrants are hispanic? That is a tad racist all by itself.
Every sincle one of the 9/11 hujackers were here illegally. Gorget about that? I haven’t/ And how many more have arrived since then?
Get off your holier than thou ravings and use some common sense.

LARS: The amnesty proposal that was defeated in Congress — in your view, was that amnesty for illegals and would you back amnesty for a path to citizenship, as the current president calls it?

SARAH PALIN: No, I’m not for amnesty. Let’s ratchet this down quite simply to remember what we’re referring to. Illegal aliens are called “illegal” for a reason. We need to secure our borders and I am not for amnesty. And there are humane ways to deal with the 11-13 million illegal aliens who are in our country right now, but if they’re not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.

Sarah Palin Tells Bill O’Reilly What She Would Do About Immigration As ‘President Palin’
July 14, 2010
Last Friday, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly asked former Gov. Sarah Palin? (R-AK) what she would do about immigration if she ever became “President Palin.” Palin informed O’Reilly that she would do “whatever it takes” to secure the border, including “militarizing” the border with 10,000-15,000 National Guard troops and building a wall. However, Palin seemed less confident about what to do about the millions of undocumented immigrants already living in the U.S. She proposed requiring undocumented immigrations to register with the federal government in order to legally work in the United States — a step that would actually be part of comprehensive immigration reform:

O’REILLY: Now we have 12 million people staring at you. [...] Are you going to deport them, what are you going to do? [...]

PALIN: You’re not gonna give them a free pass. You’re not gonna say, ‘okay you and anyone else who wants scurry across this porous border between now and when we do finally get it fenced in and physically secured — we’re gonna give you a free pass.’

O’REILLY: So no amnesty?

PALIN: No amnesty! [...] Do we make them register with the federal government? Yes! [...] Let’s keep it simple and let’s say ‘no, if you were here illegally and if you don’t follow the steps that at some point through immigration reform we’re gonna be able to provide — and that is somehow to allow you to work — if you don’t do that, then you’re gonna be gone.’

NumbersUSA Fail in evaluating Sarah Palin

Whoever did the evaluation on Sarah Palin got it wrong at NumbersUSA. I compared their conclusions with what was said in the Gov. Palin interview with Bill O’Reilly, 12 July 2010.

NumbersUSA: “Despite saying she opposes ‘amnesty,’ Gov. Palin has very publicly described her preference for giving legal status to masses of illegal aliens.”

There are no references to back up what NumbersUSA say Palin said. Where exactly has Palin made such a statement?

NumbersUSA: “Gov. Palin has said she opposes amnesty and there should be ‘no free passes’ for illegal aliens. However, she seems to define amnesty like most supporters of legalization of illegal aliens.

Source: Gov. Palin interview with Bill O’Reilly, 12 July 2010.

Here NumbersUSA refuse Palin’s words “no free passes” and insert what they want to portray her as “seeming” to be like other amnesty supporters.

NumbersUSA: “Palin has outlined a pathway to legalization where illegal aliens have 60 days to register with the government (those that fail to register should be deported).

Palin does not have a clear idea of what to do once illegal aliens have registered, but if illegal aliens do not follow the path to legalization, they should be deported.

Source: Gov. Palin interview with Bill O’Reilly, 12 July 2010.

The above statement is false. At 1:35 O’Reilly makes an hypothetical statement, “Do you tell them they have 60 days to get outta here?” Palin did not make an outline of 60 days.

NumbersUSA: “Gov. Palin has made it clear that the United States needs a steady flow of immigrants in order for our economy to function.

Source: Gov. Palin interview with Bill O’Reilly, 12 July 2010.

I don’t see how Numbers can make this statement. I can’t find Palin saying anything about supporting a steady flow of immigrants anywhere in the interview.

After reading Numbers USA evaluation, I can’t find NumbersUSA to be a credible source. Until these errors are corrected, NumbersUSA grades an F.
