Sarah Palin Is Pro Amnesty For Illegal Aliens - Univision Interview [Old news, 2008]
Diggers Realm ^ | October 24, 2008

Posted on 08/09/2009 6:56:23 PM PDT by RebelYell1990

Sarah Palin finally came out and made her stance on illegal immigration clear. She is pro amnesty for illegal aliens. In an interview to Univision she stated unequivocally that she is for a pathway to citizenship. In the same interview she says she is against amnesty for illegal aliens. Have your cake and eat it to, I think that is called.

Back on the same day that John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential candidate I started investigating Palin's past on illegal immigration. I invited others to send in anything they found. There was nothing on the record. Many did write in and said that Laura Ingraham said that one time she was talking to Palin and she said she was against amnesty. That was the only statement anywhere that could be found.

Now we know that she is against amnesty, all the while she is for it with a "pathway to citizenship".

You see this is what is wrong with these people. They think they can be on both sides of the issue at once and that simply isn't possible. You are either against amnesty or you are not. If you are for a pathway to citizenship for those who have illegally entered our country then you are pro-amnesty as you have virtually absolved them of all of their illegality.

People have bashed me for questioning "the Palin". They wrote in to say that obviously she is against illegal immigration. This was all wishful thinking and like so many other issues that the politicians have avoided, until they take a clear stance don't assume anything (and even then, if they're only saying it look at their record).

Sarah Palin is in lock-step with John McCain when it comes to amnesty for illegal aliens. Her answers are almost indistinguishable from McCain's, Obama's or even the most pro-illegal alien congressman in the house, Luis Gutierrez, for that matter.

Read it and weep.

Univision

Univision: Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska? Sarah Palin: I don't know, I don't know. That's a good question.

Univision: As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported? Sarah Palin: 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.

Univision: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants? Sarah Palin: 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.

Univision: To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants? Sarah Palin: 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.

...

Univision: What is your strategy? How are you planning to win the latino vote? Sarah Palin: I will tell you, I wish that there were more hours in the day so that we can get out there and to more of the communities with such the strong Latino vote that is out there and really tell them that we desire to work for them. We are asking them to hire us and let us work for them.

Sickening we can't find a real leader in this country who cares about Americans first.

Oh for goodness sakes! Hello?! this article was from October of last year when her job was to quarterback for her potential boss?!

Has the light gone on yet?!

What light? Has she said something different since then? Or are you believing something you want to believe?

And what? Is it wrong to address the Latin vote - or should she the legal ones; of is it your position tht she should ignore the legals because there are a lot of illegals in the country??

Just askin'.

This is the end of my support for Sarah. I was sending her a modest check every month from my pension. No more. I will not vote for her for any office.

Looks like you bought that BS hook, line, and sinker.

Do you know anything about the trashbucket who wrote that garbage? It might pay you to check it out.

I'm as big a fan of Sarah as anyone, but when she, like just about everyone else in this debate says that it's "inhumane" to send illegals back....

Where did this just about everyone else in this debate says that it's "inhumane" bit come from?

“But I’d rather work for some practical solutions that don’t require military internment camps.”

Criminals are imprisoned. Illegal aliens are criminals. They need to be imprisoned or shipped back en masse. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK! I don’t want to see one Spanish word on our signs. I don’t want to be told to press “ocho” for anything. I want AMERICAN kids to be treated better than alien criminals’ kids. If people want more reasonably priced healthcare the problem would be fixed in a skinny minute we weren’t subsidizing illegals’ hospital visits and supporting their spawn.

Maybe you think it’s cool or edgy to have been robbed and threatened by illegals. How politically correct of you.

Oh, Man, surely you don't expect us to read the actual applicable law (or, come to think of it, read any proposed legislation) do you? Come now.

Giggle. Thanks for finding and posting.

It’s Ok if you don’t comment.

Too late. Sorry to disturb your flight across the rainbow, but I don't think that Palin (or any other politician) needs your "advice".

But hubris and delusion are so sweet, aren't they?

For the newest members of the Palin ping list:

Here is a recent tweet from her.

Palin Message on Driver's Licenses for Illegal Immigrants:

"If u dont have legal right to walk down AKn street, why should u have right to drive same street?"

Would someone "pro-Amnesty" say that?

During the campaign she had to defend McCain's platform. I'm sure in the coming time we will further get to know her true feelings on a lot of issues, as opposed to the McCain platform she had to share.

She did reluctantly defend also other McCain positions she did not agree on, like the Bailout and Cap and Trade. She forcefully rejected the latter recently.

Your comment has nothing to do with the previous discussion we were having.
