Palin expands her position on Illegal Immigration
Palin: we need to close the borders. They are called illegal aliens for a reason and if they are not going to follow the rules they should not be in our country.
It’s pretty simple I ratched that one down to the simple answer because its an easier answer than some politicians want it to make it be. you close the borders.
You get more agressive about cracking down on the illegal aliens and we take it serious what our border patrol officers are trying to do

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
The “humane ways” of dealing with the illegals here means let them stay and become citizens once they pay a fee. That’s what all of the “pro-amnesty” pols say, just as they all say we must secure our border. We’ve seen the policy that McCain advocates in an actual bill and this week Palin denied that she disagreed with McCain on the issue in the slightest.
McCain has also contributed to our tying our hands with a lot of our captured enemy combatants, and though I think Palin would be preferable to Romney who is at risk of getting the nomination nailed down early, I’m not ready to blindly back her without getting a better feel for her real approach to the major issues—and the last few weeks have made me less comfortable with her than I was over the last year.
